- Installing Music-X on a Hard Disk.
-
- The 'Install Music-X' program will ask you to name a directory on your
- hard disk where you wish to copy Music-X to. To run the program, you should
- be in your normal hard disk work environment (i.e. don't boot from the
- Music-X disk).
-
- This program does the following things:
-
- 1. Creates the directory you specified, if it doesn't already exist.
- 2. Creates an icon for the directory.
- 3. Copies Music-X program, title screen, default performance, and icons
- to that directory.
- 4. Copys the MIDI.Device driver to DEVS:
- 5. Copys the Music-X fonts to FONTS:
- 6. Runs FixFonts.
- 7. Creates a Script file which assigns 'Music-X:' to the
- directory you specified, and attaches the icon "MxAssign" to that
- icon.
-
- The script file created in step 6 will need to be run before Music-X
- can run. It contains a single command: "Assign Music-X <path>", where
- <path> is the directory where Music-X is. You can run the script file by
- clicking on the "MxAssign" icon. However, the original program disk should
- be removed before you do this, since the disk name "Music-X:" will otherwise
- override the assignment name "Music-X:".
- The "MxAssign" icon will require the "IconX" program in order to work --
- this program comes with 1.3 Workbench, and is also on the Music-X master
- disk.
- You can avoid this step by editing your startup-sequence with a text
- editor and inserting the assign command into it. Don't try this unless you
- know what you are doing, however.
-
- Other things you will need to do to finish the installation:
-
- Drag the Modules icon to where you want it to be. The modules directory
- can be anywhere, however the simplest thing is to put it inside your new
- Music-X Directory. You will also need to re-run the "Install-Modules"
- program, to inform Music-X where the new modules are located. The
- "Install Modules" also uses the "Music-X:" logical assignment to find
- the list of modules, so you need to run MxAssign (unless you have changed
- your startup sequence) before you can run it.
-
- Also, drag the Protocols icon to where you want it to be.
-
- Using the workbench 'info' menu item, edit the tooltypes of the
- Music-X icon to inform music-x where the Protocols and Modules
- drawers are. For example, if you wanted them on DH0:
-
- PROTODIR=DH0:Protocols
- MODLIST=DH0:Modules
-
- You can also adjust the other tool types, such as LIBDIR and PERFDIR,
- but these are not as important.
