EXECUTIVE
=========
WHAT IS IT?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Executive is a UNIX-like task scheduler for Amiga. It also has plenty of
other features previously available only in larger operating systems.
Executive improves the responsiveness of your Amiga. No longer running
a CPU intensive program causes the whole machine to slow down. You can
start many CPU intensive programs and the machine still feels as fast
as before.
Executive also includes many useful client programs which let you control
tasks and monitor what's going on in your system.
No similar programs for Amiga have been made before, so you may not exactly
know what Executive is all about, but give it a little time and read the
documentation and you won't regret it!
REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Executive requires at least AmigaDos 2.04. Localization will be available
if you're using AmigaDos 2.1 or newer.
MagicUserInterface (MUI) is not required, although some clients use it.
If you don't have MUI or don't want to use it, the programs that use MUI
are also available with standard GadTools interface.
Executive requires approximately 1MB of hard disk space for full
installation.
INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation is easy, just click on the Installation icon and Executive
will be installed. The installation is safe, there's no risk of overwriting
any files and you can later uninstall easily by using the uninstallation
script. This will completely remove Executive from your system. If you
abort the installation, files that were installed will be deleted.
All files except a locale catalog are installed to a single directory.
I suggest you install Executive in expert user -mode. This will let you
choose from different types of icons and documentation.
You really want to use the Installer script and not to try install
Executive manually. If you don't have the standard Amiga Installer-
utility, you can download it from any Aminet site, the file is:
util/misc/Installer-1.25.lzh.
