- INSTALLATION GUIDE
- Before you can use the SimCity Graphics, they must be installed. The
- install Graphics Program updates your SimCity program and installs
- the new Graphics to either your hard or floppy disk. Once you have
- completed the installation, you will be able to switch between
- Graphics from within SimCity.
-
- WHAT YOU NEED
- In order to complete the installation, you will need to know:
-
- o Whether you are installing to a hard disk or to floppy disks.
- o In which drive and subdirectory (hard disk users only) your
- current SimCity files are located.
-
- In addition, you will need the following:
-
- For FLOPPY installation:
- o Your backup disk of your original SimCity disk
- o The SimCity Graphics disk
- o One blank formatted disk
-
- For HARD DISK installation:
- o The SimCity Graphics disk
- o 185K free hard disk space for each of the new Graphics you install

- not in WORK:SIMCITY, press the Right Amiga key and the X key at the
- same time to erase the path. Then type in the correct path (for
- example: WORKBENCH:SIMCITY, dh0:SIMCITY, dh1:SIMCITY, etc) and

- then load it into SimCity. You will then view your terrain in the
- currently active graphics.
