- Getting Started
- ===============
-
- MapStation requires an Amiga with at least 1mb of ram to function properly.
- The maximum size for the level buffer is set to 200k to allow it to
- function on Amigas with this memory configuration. If you fall into this
- category you may find that you need to disable any external drives because
- Map-Station is very hungry on chip memory.
-
- To run MapStation do any of the following:
-
- 1) Load the executable from the CLI/Shell.
- Type "MapStation.Exe".
-
- 2) Load the executable from the Workbench.
- Click on the MapStation.Exe icon.
-
- 3) Load the program source code into a version of AMOS and then run it
- from the menu.
-
-
- How to use MapStation
- =====================
-
- MapStation contains an on-line help in the actual program which can be
- activated by pressing the HELP key (surprise, surprise!). This contains a
- summary of the various commands available and states the purpose of each
- icon.
-
- Also included in the package is a documentation file containing a complete
- and detailed description of the program and all its available functions.
-
-
- Bug report
- ==========
-
- There are no bugs in the program which are caused by myself. There are
- ,however, a couple of bugs that are introduced into the program by the
- compiler and which are not apparent in the version of the program run from
- Amos itself. These are both related to the Amos file requester and are:
-
- 1) Cause: Entry of a path name which doesn't exist
- Result: Program either crashes or exits
-
- 2) Cause: Selection of a data-storage device which contains no
- disk and then selecting the cancel icon from the
- requester which appears.
- Result: Program either crashes or exits
-
- As stated these bugs will never occur with the source code version of the
- program and only happen after compilation. This may only be a problem with
- my version of the compiler (V1.1) but I am informing you in-case it isn't.
