EnterAct will work fine wherever you put it on your hard disk, provided you drop a few aliases into your EnterAct Stuff folder. And you'll probably want access to QuickView or THINK Reference. For details, please see the "What goes where" section below.
If you have been using an older version of EnterAct and were moving EnterAct into your development folder, please switch to the new approach described in the "What goes where" section below, it's simpler.
You can throw out the folders "hAWK project", "Read Res project", "Minimal App7 ƒ", "write your own Drag_on", and "code to call Drag_ons" if you're not interested in the source for Drag_on Modules or Minimal App7.
If you have modified some old hAWK programs, remember not to throw them out!
When you use EnterAct, it will need about 2 more Megabytes on your hard disk for its log file, and large projects may need 4 Meg or more on your disk.
EnterAct's default memory partition is now 7 Meg. Going much below this isn't recommended, you'll run out of memory.

The simplest approach to using EnterAct is to leave everything in the "EnterAct Stuff" folder (which you can leave anywhere on your hard disk). EnterAct does need to know two things about your development environment: what folder should count as containing <system> files, and your specific choice of Universal Headers (some development environments ship with more than one version). Making new projects is simplest if you visit your development folder now and drop aliases of these folders into your EnterAct folder, and while you're there do the same thing for any other source folders that you commonly use. For example if you're using CodeWarrior you'll want a "Metrowerks CodeWarrior alias", a "Universal Headers alias", and perhaps "PowerPlant alias" and "ANSI Headers alias" as well.
When you make a new project with EnterAct a dialog will ask you to select a <system> folder, and you can select the appropriate alias (eg "Metrowerks CodeWarrior alias"). And to add all toolbox headers to a project you can drag the alias for your choice of Universal Headers onto your project window. Similarly drag any other aliases such as "PowerPlant alias" onto your project window if you want your project dictionary to contain definitions for those things. For that matter you can use the same approach of dragging aliases for folders onto your project window with any source, especially your own.
To access THINK Reference or Toolbox Assistant from EnterAct:
Drop aliases of THINK Reference and/or QuickView into the "(Tools)" folder inside your EnterAct Stuff folder (no need to rename the aliases). There are separate commands under EnterAct's "Search" menu to access these. You can access both during the same session of course.
New users, please note each EnterAct project has a rightmost pane or file list reserved for documentation, and you can add the "EnterAct 3 Manual" or "hAWK User's Manual" to your projects for quick reference.
Also included, projects and complete source for hAWK and Read Resource, as well as Minimal App 7. hAWK and Minimal App are provided with CodeWarrior projects, and Read Resource comes with a THINK C project. Feel free to throw these source folders out if you're not interested.
