- HOW TO GET START PROGRAMS UP AND RUNNING
-
-
- 1) Write protect your disk.
-
- 2) Make a backup copy. We format the disk using TWISTER.PRG
- (written by Dave Small and Dan Moore, Summer 1988 issue of START)
- to increase the size of a single-sided disk to 400K. You can back
- up onto one Twisted, single-sided disk; one double-sided disk; or
- two GEM-formatted, single-sided disks.
-
- NOTE: TWISTER DOES NOT WORK WITH GEM'S DISKCOPY. To make a
- backup, open a window for your START disk, then drag the files
- from the window to the backup disk.
-
- 3) Store the original and use the backup hereafter.
-
- 4) Un-ARC the files. We use Double Click Software's DC SEA
- utility to create self-extracting archive files. To un-ARC a
- program, simply double click on the filename.
-
- 5) When the dialog box appears, choose Extract.
-
- 6) When the file selector appears, choose a destination disk (hard
- disk, RAM disk or floppy disk) for the uncompressed files. Make
- sure the destination disk has enough space for the uncompressed
- files, whose sizes are given below.
-
- BUGSBUGS.PRG -- 77K
- CROSSWRD.PRG -- 154K
- MTN_FIX .PRG -- 39K
- PAGES .PRG -- 67K
- WARRIOR .PRG -- 183K
- WORDWORD.PRG -- 159K
-
- The screen goes blank, then the files are listed as they are
- extracted, and marked "OK" if the uncompression is successful.
