- The Hidden Truth v1.0
- =====================
-
- Amiga Notes
- ===========
-
-
-
- System Requirements:
-
- o 4mb ram (8mb+ recommended)
- o AGA Chipset (Graphics Card Recommended)
- o (Hard Drive Recommended)
- o Workbench v3+
-
-
-
- Loading Instructions:
-
- o We have supplied 2 versions of Aweb for you to use on The Hidden Truth.
- If you have limited memory on a basic machine (like just an A1200 with
- some Fast RAM) you may prefer to use Aweb2.0. If you have an upgraded
- Amiga you may prefer the more advanced Aweb3.0. Try both, then take your
- pick.
-
- o To run The Hidden Truth from the CD on an AGA Amiga, double-click the
- Aweb_HiddenTruth icon. You will then be asked to select a Screenmode,
- number of colours, and also whether you want greys or colours (greys can
- look better sometimes.) If you do not have much RAM, you are advised to
- stay away from any 256 colour screenmode - also, on standard Amiga's these
- modes will be slow.
-
- ** NOTE: If you do not have a Multiscan monitor, DO NOT choose a Multiscan
- or Super72 sceenmode!!! **
-
- If you are using some 'ENV-Handler' or similar, these options may not work,
- in which case you are advised to install Aweb to your Hard Drive, and alter
- the preferences to suit yourself.
-
- o If you have a CyberGFX (or compatible) equipped Amiga, you will be given the
- chance to run the Hidden Truth on your Workbench screen. If you wish to use
- a custom screen of your choosing, you are required to install Aweb to your
- Hard Drive, and alter the settings to suit your system.
-
- o To use your own screen-modes and preferences, you must double-click the
- INSTALL icon to install AWeb to your hard drive. This is recommended, though
- not essential.
-
-
- NOTES:
-
- o To read the Aweb purchasing information, hit the HELP key (recommended).
-
- o If you sometimes get 'ERROR' on an image, it is probably due to a lack of
- CHIP RAM (mostly happens if you pick a 256 colour screenmode). If this
- happens, simply goto the 'CACHE' menu, then select 'Flush From Memory/All
- Images'. Then hit RELOAD.
-
- o If you are using Workbench 3.0 (v39), you are advised to copy the
- 'Setpatch_43.4' over your original c:setpatch command. This fixes some
- small bugs and problems with the datatypes and CyberAVI player. You do not
- NEED to do this if you are running wb3.1, although it is advised too.
-
- o The original datatypes that come with Workbench do a poor job of choosing
- appropriate colours at times. In the 'Other' directory, we have supplied
- the 'V43Datatypes'. If you install these, you should get much better
- quality picture quality in Aweb. You should also reduce your Chip Ram
- usage greatly. However, these are not guaranteed to by 100% stable on
- AGA-Only systems - so if you install them, and they don't work properly -
- you are advised to go back to your original ones. Basically, you install
- them at your own risk. If you have a cybergfx graphics card, you
- are strongly advised to use them!
-
- o We have setup the JPEG datatype supplied to show a progress bar while it is
- decoding JPEG pictures in Aweb. You should see a small progress bar on your
- screen, which shows how long a jpeg picture will take to show. This will
- help owners of slower Amigas to see that something is happening. If you
- find that your machine is too slow, you can switch off image loading in
- the menu, that way only the text will be shown - but it will be a lot
- quicker. We did not use a progress bar for GIF pictures, because there are
- a lot more of them, and GIF images load quicker.
-
- o The Hidden Truth is supplied with many GIF anims, to view them you must
- use a different web browser, such as IBrowse or Voyager. NOTE: At the
- time of writing, both VoyagerNG and Ibrowse contain some quite serious
- tables and other bugs, which can lead to the display not showing as
- intended. As these programs are updated, no doubt they will be fixed -
- so keep an eye out for new versions!
-
- **NOTE: Versions of Voyager and Ibrowse (with MUI) can be found in the
- 'Other' drawer **
-
- **NOTE: If you decide to use Voyager you will need to load the file
- 'data/menu.htm' instead of index.htm!**
-
- o When loading animations you may find that you have to swap screens (by
- pressing LAmiga+M) to view them. Some animations are very large and
- require more than 8mb's of ram (some may require 16meg+!!!!)
-
- o While browsing this CDROM, if you find anything of special interest, you
- can click the small '+' in the top-right area of the Aweb window - this
- will add it to your 'Hotlist'. You can then immediately go to this area
- again by showing your hotlist. NOTE: This feature may only be available
- if you install Aweb to your Hard Drive - so this hotlist file can be
- written.
-
- o A word of advice - buy a graphics card, you'll then be able to see this CD
- in thousands or even millions of colours, and MANY times faster than on an
- AGA-only system. Basically, it will make a world of difference to your
- Amiga computing!

- AWeb 3.0 LocalDemo
- ==================
-
-
- IMPORTANT
- ---------
-
- If you want to try the demo before installing it, make sure you double-
- click the "MakeAssign" icon. If you fail to run this, page headers in the
- demo will be shown in ugly blocky characters. By default the demo uses the
- 'times' and 'courier' fonts in sizes that didn't came with your WorkBench.

-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- AWeb-II is a fast and powerful World Wide Web browser for the Amiga computer.
-
- See the Docs/intro.html document for a list of features.
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
-
- AWeb needs:
- o OS 3.0 or better.
- o At least 2MB of memory as an absolute minimum. 3 MB or more is
- highly recommended.
- o Either AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225 or AS-225 if you want to access the Internet,
- or a TCP stack that is compatible with one of these. Examples of
- compatible products are Miami and TermiteTCP.
- o Appropriate picture datatypes (GIF, JPEG) to show inlined images.
- o The ClassAct gadget kit (included in the full distribution, not in this
- demo).
-
-
-
- THIS DEMO VERSION
- -----------------
-
- AWeb 3.0LOCALDEMO is a special demo version of AWeb-II 3.0. This version
- lacks all network access, so you can only use it on local files.
- A networking demo version is available from Aminet: biz/demo/AWeb.lha.
-
- This demo version shows pages exactly like the full version does, but
- many additional features are disabled in this demo. Most important
- missing features are:
- - the demo doesn't use multiple windows. Note that when a page has a
- link to another document in a new window, this demo version will not
- open a new window. The full version will.
- - the demo doesn't read or save your hotlist.
-
- See the Docs/full.html document for a complete list of differences.
-
-

- AWeb 2.1 Local-only DEMO
- ========================
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- AWeb is a World Wide Web browser for the Amiga computer.
-
- It offers the following features:
-
- o AWeb can use a wide range of TCP-stacks: AmiTCP/IP, I-Net225, AS-225
- or compatible. Without TCP stack running, you can still view local files.
-
- o AWeb uses extensive internal multitasking, which leads to total
- asynchroneous and parallel network access. Images are starting to load
- while the document is still loading. It is possible to follow a link
- while the previous document is still loading. A separate network status
- window shows all pending network and local file accesses. All network
- accesses can be interrupted immediately.
-
- o The HTML-3.2 standard is fully supported.
- For buggy pages not conforming to the standard, AWeb offers a
- compatibility mode.
-
- o AWeb supports the use of proxies for HTTP, FTP, Gopher and Telnet.
- Because some proxies can't handle forms or other special cases, the use
- of proxies can be temporarily disabled from the menu.
-
- o The HTTP and Gopher protocols are supported internally. By using
- external programs, FTP, Mailto, Telnet and News can be used too.
- HTTP user authorization is supported.
-
- o AWeb lets you load all images, delay all image loading, or load only
- clickable maps and delay other images. For delayed images, the ALT text
- is taken into account. Transparent GIFs are supported. The 24-bit picture
- datatype (picturedtV43) is supported.
-
- o To improve network speed, host names and network addresses are cached
- so addresses are looked up only once during a session.
-
- o AWeb can open it's windows on the default public screen, on a named
- public screen or open its own screen.
-
- o AWeb has a hierarchical hotlist, with options to group entries.
- In extension to its own hotlist, AWeb can read other hotlists, like
- those of AMosaic and early IBrowse betas.
-
- o An advanced settings requester is integrated in the program.
-
- o AWeb has an ARexx interface, and a unique and powerful shell command
- interface.
-
-
- This DEMO version cannot access the net. You can view local files only.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
-
- AWeb needs:
- o OS 3.0 or better
