- This version of Genealogy on Display runs nicely on my A2000HD. To make it
- run, I get a CLI and type:
-
- STACK 20000
- ASSIGN A: DF0:
- ASSIGN B: DF2: (you may need to use df1:)
- RUN DF0:MENU
-
- and it loads and runs. The program has been compiled, so there is no need
- to enter AmigaBASIC - just run it. The 'readmefirst' file suggests a stack
- of 12000, but I kept getting crashes until I set it to 20K.
-
- I have added some icons to this file, and have tried to set them up to work
- as is. The 'readme' icons expect a c: directory containing LESS, so I made
- a c: directory in the file. If they just flash at you and do not load the
- files, check for Less in your c: directory.
-
- It is possible to enter the Stack and Assign commands from the CLI or from
- your startup-sequence, and then use the icon to run the program. I have set
- the stack to 20000 in the supplied icon, but you may need to add other ToolTypes
- to fit your own system. Read about Tooltypes in chapter 1, pages 2, 3,
- and 12 of the Enhancer manual for 1.3.
-
- Unfortunately, the program did NOT run on my A1000 with 512K. Even with
- most of the resident commands removed, it still reported that there was not
- enough memory. I cannot recommend trying to use the program with less than
- 1M of memory.
-
- My thanks to Melvin Duke, who wrote GENEALOGY ON DISPLAY, and also to the
- programmer who ported it to the AMiga. I'm sorry, but I do not have his
- name.
