- One, you don't need the .SFX on the filename, since LHARC does that
- automatically. Two, if you don't have a file named TITLE on disk, your
- gonna be SOL.
-
- LHA -s a:nerdnook c:user b:friendly
-
- This will create an SFX file named NERDNOOK.SFX from the files
- USER and FRIENDLY located on the appropriate drives.
- Also, make sure you have the LHA installed in RAM to operate, and
- have the REU set up to work with it.
-
- Here is my CS-DOS autoexec used with my 1750:
-
- fast
- rem "Set errorlevel to 1 if 1750 is present or 0 if not present.
- bank15:y=peek(57094):poke 57094,y+1:poke 7136,abs(peek(57094)-y)
- z:if not errorlevel 1 z:autoexec.no1750
- z:setram 16,8
- poke dec("1bcf"),2*16+8
- z:getram ramdisk
- if (peek(215) and 128) then fast
- text
- new
- rdir/w
-
- Good luck.
