- David, I just went through the very same thing. What you need to do is
- edit the KingFisher.config file and change the lines
-
- # Unsplittable datafiles (path plus filename)
- FishIndexFile=KF:Fish.Index
- NameIndexFile=KF:Name.Index
-
- Then put an Assign statement in your User-Startup to set KF: to wherever
- you have placed KingFisher. Everything should work just fine.
-
- (Udo, are you reading this? These lines in the config file shouldn't need
- to be changed at all! Just set it up like this and tell people in the docs
- that they need to make a KF: assignment. Even people who don't read any
- docs will get an "Insert volume KF:" requester and realize they need to
- make the assignment.)
