- Welcome to the 17-Bit Continuation 2 on CD-ROM for Amiga / CD³² / CDTV.
-
-
- It's the update to the update to the... Anyway, there's all the 1994 disks
- on this one. Over 600 disks from 17-Bit's own collection - at least £600
- worth of disks in all.
-
-
- Due to the memory limitations of the CDTV, the CDTVCopier and
- 17BitCopier.ShortIndex programs have cut-down catalogue files in that there
- are no description texts covering previous CDs, only the disk titles.
- However, in the CD³² and 17BitCopier.FullIndex versions, the full catalogue
- is present. This allows enhanced string searches to be made. If you've
- got 2 megs of RAM or more, you can run the big-index copier. If you've got
- some weird configuration <like, A570 plus extra RAM or expanded CDTV> and
- want to run the big index, hold down the right mouse button as the CD boots
- up.
-
-
- To write out disks from the CD to floppy, make sure the CD-ROM is loaded,
- and if over a network (eg ParNet), make sure that the root directory is
- assigned as 17bitD: before running the copier. We don't recommend running
- the copier over SerNet, however, for speed reasons. If you plan to use the
- disks from the earlier CD sets, you will also need 17BitA:, 17BitB: and
- 17bitC: assigned and available to the machine you are running the copier
- on. Take a look at the example copier script 17BitCopier.HDorNet supplied
- - you'll need to copy the fonts on this CD into fonts: beforehand.
-
-
- You have to change CDs before copying out earlier disks, though. Here's a
- quick guide to the numbers and their CDs:
-
- 1 to 1200 - 17BitA
- 1201 to 2301 - 17BitB
- 2302 to 2800
- plus Assasins, Amigan ARUG and NZ - 17BitC
- 2801 to 3351 - 17BitD
-
- You will need a floppy disk drive, disks are only written out to df0:
-
-
- Please note that although all disks have been tested, some contain bad
- language that some viewers may find offensive, and some may not work
- on all Amiga configurations. Many disks will only work properly on
- PAL (Europe, UK, Australia) systems. If your Amiga system supports
- both NTSC and PAL video, try using PAL.
-
-
- Although we have tried very hard to test all disks in this package for
- compatbility, we cannot guarantee every disk will work on your system,
- and we cannot offer any telephone or mail support for any of the
- public domain disks.
-
-
- If you have problems running the copier, make sure you disable any
- virus checkers, trackdisk monitors or other programs that monitor disk
- access, as these can prevent correct copying of disks. It may also be
- necessary to kill surplus background tasks and shut redundant windows
- to free up more memory to the program.
-
-
- If you prefer to extract files via the Shell/CLI, or with a directory
- utility (eg Directory Opus), then copy to your hard disk DMS111.SFX,
- and run it. This will self-extract to give you DMS, which you can use
- to decrunch the files on the disc.
