- A Hyperbook Application
- by
- Carmen Artino
-
-
- This archive contains the fruit of a project I started last year and
- worked on from time to time. It is a Hyperbook application that presents
- short biographies of some famous mathematicians.
-
- The program is very easy to install.
-
- 1. Copy ALL the files to a drawer on your hard drive except for
- the font files. For example, Work:Makers. Copy the fonts your fonts:
- directory.
-
- 2. assign Makers: [drawer where you copied the above files]
- For example, assign Makers: work:Makers
- You can put this in your user-startup sequence if you like.
-
- 3. Make sure that your sys:system directory contains the cli program.
-
- 4. Double-click the program's icon.
-
- 5. Once the program starts, click the How To Use button on the lower
- right-hand side of the screen.
-
- 6. Enjoy.
-
- Notes:
-
- ******************************************************************
- * *
- * The program is over 650,000 bytes not including the HBBrowser *
- * program so it takes awhile to load, about 15 secs on my A3000. *
- * The startup "wait" screen has been timed with this in mind. If *
- * you use the program on anything less than a 68030 Amiga, the *
- * "wait" screen may disappear before the entire program loads. *
- * No harm done but give it time, it will get there! *
- * *
- ******************************************************************
-
- I don't recommend that you use the program from a floppy disk. It
- would really take forever to load! Not only that, but all the needed files
- won't fit on a standard density Amiga floppy.
-
- The startup file is called Start_Makers and is an AmigaDOS script;
- it assumes you have made the above assign. If not, the script will fail and
- the program will not start. Also, you can change the time that the "wait"
- screen is on your monitor by altering the "secs" (currently 15) parameter
- to whatever works on your system. Load the Start_Makers file into a text
- editor, then change this parameter which appears on the second line of the
- script. Then resave the file.
