- REGISTERING SCSI STARTUP AND THE 7.0 PLUS UTILITIES
- ===================================================
- SCSI Startup is not free. Sites using this software in business MUST
- register it. Contact the author for site licensing information. If it is for
- personal use only, please send a few dollars. Or you can consider the
- following.
-
- 7.0 PLUS Utilities is a package of all (more than 25) System 7.0 utilities
- I have written. You can get the disk with all of them NOW (not wait until
- I decide to upload the next program) by sending $29.95 to me. This will
- register you for all the software, will get you a disk of the software, and
- an update to the PLUS Utilities when it rolls around. It’s a pretty good
- deal. You should register your software, anyway, so why not do it
- like this? And it’s a lot cheaper this way.
-
- See the documentation which should accompany this file for more information
- on the 7.0 PLUS Utilities. A registration form should also accompany this file.
- Please use it to register the software.

- USING SCSI STARTUP
- ===================
- • If you use SCSI Startup, please please please send me a note. My addresses
- (post and e-mail) are given below in “About the Author”. Also, read the
- information in the above section on registration.
-
- What Does SCSI Startup Do?
- -------------------------
- • SCSI Startup, a drag-and-drop utility (Drop Box), sets the current startup
- disk to be the selected SCSI drive. Normally you have to open the Startup
- Disk Control Panel to change the startup disk. But now you can simply
- drag a disk icon over the application in the Finder, and it will be the new
- startup drive.
-
- Using SCSI Startup
- -----------------
- • Drag the icon of the desired startup SCSI drive over SCSI Startup and let
- go, just as you would drag a file into a folder. The selected SCSI disk
- will be set to be the startup disk.
-
- • Floppies and other non-SCSI devices cannot be set to be the startup SCSI
- disk.
-
- • Only disks dragged over the icon will be processed. If you drag any other
- item into the application, it will be ignored.
-
- • You cannot set a remote SCSI device to be the startup disk with SCSI Startup.
-
- • Dragging an alias of a disk is treated the same way dragging the actual
- disk (the target of the alias) into SCSI Startup would be. So dragging an alias
- of the startup disk you want will work properly.
-
- • Double-click on SCSI Startup to see the about box information.
-
- USING DROP BOXES
- =================
- Drop Boxes are applications (drag-and-drop utilities) which can take advantage
- of System 7.0’s Apple Events. To use them, just drag a file over the application
- icon just as you would drag a file over a folder to move it into that directory.
- The Drop Box is then opened and processing is done. The program then quits.
- You can also throw in whole directories and disks. You don’t have to throw in
- just one, either. Select a whole bunch of files, directories, or disks, or any
- combination of the three, and dump them in. The Drop Box will scan for
- files of the required type and modify them accordingly. All files in all
- directories within those dropped in will be modified. Any aliases dropped
- directly into a Drop Box (not inside a directory) are resolved by the Finder
- and thus their target (parent) is modified.
