-
- How To Get START Programs Up And Running
-
- 1) Write protect your original START 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. 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) Most of the files are compressed so that we can fit more
- programs on the disk. Programs with the text ARC before the
- extension (such as SAMPLEARC.PRG) 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, or read
- the help file INSTRUCT.TXT on this disk. 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:
-
- folder DEMO
- CARD_ARC.PRG -- 159K
- CITY_ARC.PRG -- 381K

- NYCBGARC.PRG -- 176K

-
- The screen goes blank, then the files are listed as they are
- extracted, and marked "OK" if the uncompression is successful.
