- EXECUTIVE
- =========
-
-
- WHAT IS IT?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Executive is a UNIX-like task scheduler for Amiga. It also has plenty of
- other features previously available only in larger operating systems.
-
- Executive improves the responsiveness of your Amiga. No longer running
- a CPU intensive program causes the whole machine to slow down. You can
- start many CPU intensive programs and the machine still feels as fast
- as before.
-
- Executive also includes many useful client programs which let you control
- tasks and monitor what's going on in your system.
-
- No similar programs for Amiga have been made before, so you may not exactly
- know what Executive is all about, but give it a little time and read the
- documentation and you won't regret it!
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Executive requires at least AmigaDos 2.04. Localization will be available
- if you're using AmigaDos 2.1 or newer.
-
- MagicUserInterface (MUI) is not required, although some clients use it.
- Currently, version 2.3 of MUI is required, although I have included support
- for MUI V3. If you don't have MUI or don't want to use it, the programs
- that use MUI are also available with standard GadTools interface.
-
- Executive requires approximately 1MB of hard disk space for full
- installation.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Installation is easy, just click on the Installation icon and Executive
- will be installed. The installation is safe, there's no risk of overwriting
- any files and you can later uninstall easily by using the uninstallation
- script. This will completely remove Executive from your system. If you
- abort the installation, files that were installed will be deleted.
-
- All files except a locale catalog are installed to a single directory.
-
- I suggest you install Executive in expert user -mode. This will let you
- choose from different types of icons and documentation.
-
- You really want to use the Installer script and not to try install
- Executive manually. If you don't have the standard Amiga Installer-
- utility, you can download it from any Aminet site, the file is:
- util/misc/Installer-1.25.lzh.
-
-
- NEW VERSIONS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you want to be informed when a new version of Executive is released,
- please send your email address to me.
