- How To Get START Programs Up And Running
-
- 1) Write protect your disk. Move the tab on the back of the disk
- so that you can see through the hole in the disk case. This
- prevents the accidental deletion of files on the START disk.
-
- 2) Make a backup copy. We format the disk using TWISTER.PRG (from
- the December 1990 issue) to increase the size of a double-sided
- disk to 800K. You can always copy the START disk onto a hard
- drive. To back up onto a floppy, run STARTCPY.PRG (it's on your
- START disk) and follow the instructions. You will need to have a
- blank disk ready.
-
- 3) Store the original and use the backup hereafter.
-
- 4) All of the files are compressed so that we can fit more
- programs on the disk. These files must be uncompressed before
- they can be used. We use Double Click Software's DC SEA utility
- to create self-extracting archive (ARC) 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. If you
- are not sure how to use your file selector, refer to your ST
- manual or your replacement file-selector documentation. Do not
- attempt to use your START disk or backup copy as a destination
- disk -- there isn't enough room to hold the files. Make sure the
- destination disk has enough space for the uncompressed files,
- whose sizes are given below:
-
- BIGCLARC.PRG -- 18K
- EMULAARC.PRG -- 51K
- GROUPARC.PRG -- 76K
- KEYARC .PRG -- 18K
- KWAJARC .PRG -- 202K
- SCHEMARC.PRG -- 129K
- USERARC .PRG -- 246K
- VERSARC .PRG -- 39K
-
- The screen goes blank, then the files are listed as they are
- extracted, and marked "OK" if the uncompression is successful.
