- Addendum (1/7 Dec 93):
-
- 1) you will need to obtain the AmigaNOS.LZH archive file, unarchive it, and
- put the files and directories where you want to keep them
-
- this is John Heaton's version of AmigaNOS, and the archive contains all of
- the requisite files for his version and for Graham's version (eg; Graham's
- version requires the same files as does John's, but only John's archive
- contains all of the necessary files and subdirectories - NOTE: you CAN do
- without the duplicate SLIP directory by modifying the Shell startup script
- to point to TCPIP instead of SLIP, as in my example script for this Gopher
- setup)
-
- John Heaton's archive is available via anonymous FTP from: dir.mcc.ac.uk
- (130.88.200.4)
-
- 2) move the files from THIS archive into the proper directories (or make
- new subdirectories) in your previously created TCPIP directory (for
- step #1) as directed above (in the "gopher.comments" note)
-
- 3) put the AmigaNOS.guide (AmigaGuide) file in the SLIP/Clients subdirectory
- along with the Gopher (client) program
-
- 4) you MUST HAVE the AmigaGuide product in order to use this Gopher client
- since it uses AmigaGuide as its interface
-
- 5) put AmigaNOSGW in the TCPIP directory along with the AmigaNOS program
-
- 6) copy the AmigaDOS script in the S: directory of this archive, into the S:
- subdirectory IN the directory or volume where you place AmigaNOS (TCPIP:
- being a SUBdirectory of this directory)
-
- for example, I have the following directory structure
-
- AmigaNOS:
- S: <--- put script HERE
- C:
- LIBS:
- REXX:
- (SLIP:) <---- subdirectory from Heaton version was removed and is superfluous
- TCPIP:
- Digger:
- Finger:
- Logs:
- Public:
- SLIP: <--- this directory is required by Walters Gopher client program
- Clients:
- Spool:
- <various subdirectories>
- Work:
-
- AmigaNOS
- AmigaNOSGW
- alias
- .
- .
- .
-
- 7) modify the script so the window "corners" (size, location) FIT within YOUR
- WorkBench (I use super hi-res interlaced, hence the big numbers)
-
- 8) create an AmigaDOS script or Shell Alias that executes:
-
- newcli "RAW:<begining-X>/<beginning-Y>/<ending-X>/<ending-Y>/AmigaNOS-Gopher"
- from <directory or volume where TCPIP: exists>:s/AmigaNOSGW-Startup
-
- as all one line
-
- Note that you will need to determine YOUR desired window size and location,
- and fill in the appropriate X and Y (pixel) coordinates
-
- 9) the end result is that you will have ONE directory structure and TWO AmigaNOS
- programs: one is John Heaton's which has some different control features than
- Graham's, but no external clients; the other is Graham Walter's version which
- has been modified to allow for external clients (eg; Graham's Gopher client),
- but otherwise lacks some of the control features that John Heaton's has
-
