Hello,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the english translation for the hd install doc.
|
|
|
|
You'll see that will be not perfect (I was watching tv when I do that).
|
|
|
|
The best solution will be that you turn the text in a good english form
|
|
|
|
and you mail me again, I'll verify it is ok.
|
|
|
|
(sorry Tiny Death but I couldn't write you...Email problem ??)

INSTALL HD Version 1.0, may 1991
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) 1991, Phoenix Corp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This soft let you install on the hard disk most of programms. In this version,
|
|
|
|
Install HD includes a patched system for the Prodos 16 (version 1.6), a
|
|
|
|
special launcher for the Prodos 8 and a patched version of DUNGEON MASTER.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the P16:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Install SYSP16 on root of the volume partition : that will be the same
|
|
|
|
thing that the SYSTEM folder for the Prodos 16 programs.
|
|
|
|
- Put too the NEWPRO file (it can be renamed as you like). The SYSP16 folder
|
|
|
|
must include P16, SYSTEM.SETUP, DRIVERS and if you want DESK.ACCS but TOOLS
|
|
|
|
and FONTS are not necessary and take space for nothing. The START file must
|
|
|
|
be present.
|
|
|
|
- Create a folder on this same partition where you want. The name of this
|
|
|
|
folder must be the same that the name of the volume (name of the disk) of the
|
|
|
|
soft you want to install. This folder will be called the installation folder.
|
|
|
|
- In this folder, just install and other folder called SYSP16 but this time
|
|
|
|
without the SYSTEM.SETUP, TOOLS, P16, DRIVERS and DESK.ACCS. But you have to
|
|
|
|
put the tools and the fonts necessary (and only these ones, to avoid to loose
|
|
|
|
space).
|
|
|
|
- The files of the application which are in the SYSTEM folder on the
|
|
|
|
application disk must be put in a SYSTEM folder, just under the installation
|
|
|
|
folder. For exemple, the START file of the application (different of the START
|
|
|
|
file in the other SYSP16 folder which is here to patch the system). But, if
|
|
|
|
the soft use theses files via a prefix with a number (1/ for */SYSP16 for
|
|
|
|
exemple), you will have to put them in the SYSP16 folder and not in the
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM folder, but it is very rare.
|
|
|
|
- Install the others files of the application in this subdirectory (except
|
|
|
|
for the PRODOS file, it is useless).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To sum up, on a partition of the hard drive (not necessary the first one)
|
|
|
|
/HARD2 and for an application /APPLI, we have :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/HARD2/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PRODOS ; no change
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM ; no change
|
|
|
|
SYSP16/ ; new, SYSTEM for PRODOS 16
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM.SETUP
|
|
|
|
DESK.ACCS
|
|
|
|
DRIVERS
|
|
|
|
P16
|
|
|
|
START ; main program
|
|
|
|
NEWPRO ; new, PRODOS for PRODOS 16
|
|
|
|
APPLI/ ; new, include the application files
|
|
|
|
SYSP16/ ; new SYSTEM local for P16
|
|
|
|
TOOLS/
|
|
|
|
FONTS/
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM ; new, no-system file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have now 2 solutions :
|
|
|
|
- Put the name of the SYS.16 application in STARTUP position in NEWPRO and
|
|
|
|
launch NEWPRO with the prefix of the folder of the application to launch
|
|
|
|
(not easy...).
|
|
|
|
- Use PROSEL or WINGS. Put the title as you like, the prefix of the folder of
|
|
|
|
the application, the application to launch as NEWPRO (that you can rename)
|
|
|
|
with his way from the root because of the indicated prefix and in STARTUP
|
|
|
|
position, the application to launch, in AN ABSOLUTE path but from the folder
|
|
|
|
where it is launched (only if it is, else nothing as path, only the
|
|
|
|
application name).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exemple: Test Drive II
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the partition 4 on a HD with a volume name as TEST.
|
|
|
|
We want to put Test Drive in /TEST/GAMES/TD2MASTER

|

Prefix: /TEST/GAMES/TD2MASTER
|
|
|
|
Appli: /TEST/NEWPRO
|
|
|
|
Startup: /TD2MASTER/TD2.SYS16 or TD2.SYS16
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
note: The SYSTEM folder (under /TEST/TD2MASTER) doesn't exist because it is
|
|
|
|
useless, the application hasn't any specific files in his SYSTEM folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a ramdisk (/RAM5 create by the memory manager) is available, it will be
|
|
|
|
destroyed. Then, the data on the ramdisk will be lost if you use a program
|
|
|
|
patched with HD INSTALL. But, like the BRAM data are not modified, the
|
|
|
|
ramdisk will be recreate when you will return to the finder/launcher.
|
|
|
|
This let you launch Test Drive II without changing the control panel and
|
|
|
|
rebooting with a COLD SHUTDOWN to launch it when we have a ramdisk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to put in the 'STARTUP' a second access path, separated with
|
|
|
|
a comma (','). This path (optional) is a path for the second 3,5p disk. The
|
|
|
|
name for this folder will be the name of the volume of the second disk. It
|
|
|
|
can be on a different partition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exemple: Rocket Ranger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the partition 4 of a HD with a volume name as TEST. As the application has
|
|
|
|
two disks (with names: /ROCKET.RANGER1 for disk one, /ROCKET.RANGER2 for disk
|
|
|
|
two), we are going to install the application on the HD in two subdirectories:
|
|
|
|
/TEST/ROCKET.RANGER1 and /TEST/ROCKET.RANGER2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

or Startup: RR.SYS16,/TEST/ROCKET.RANGER2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: The SYSTEM folder (under ROCKET.RANGER1) includes only CW because it is
|
|
|
|
the only appliaction file in his SYSTEM folder. We could put all files in one
|
|
|
|
folder, then we have just to put all files of GFX, SND and TXT folders (under
|
|
|
|
ROCKET.RANGER2) in the respective folders under ROCKET.RANGER1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the P8:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You create a folder with the same name that the application volume's name.
|
|
|
|
- The Launch.System program must be in the folder of the appliaction to launch.
|
|
|
|
- We launch it with the folder application as prefix, LAUNCH.SYSTEM as
|
|
|
|
application and original application as STARTUP. We can put 'STARTUP' as
|
|
|
|
definitive (for the finder for exemple) or as optional (for PROSEL or WINGS).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exemple: Zany Golf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Same thing that for Test Drive II, we want to install it in
|
|
|
|
/TEST/GAMES/ZANY.GOLF/DISK
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

For PROSEL, we will have:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Appli: Zany Golf
|
|
|
|
Prefix: /TEST/GAMES/ZANY.GOLF/DISK
|
|
|
|
Appli: Launch.System
|
|
|
|
Startup: DOS8.SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Dungeon Master:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only the patched files of Dungeon Master are available in the folder. Then
|
|
|
|
you have just to copy this folder anywhere on the hard drive including the
|
|
|
|
missing files : DUNGEON.BONUS, DUNGEON.GAME, DUNGEON.KEY, GRAPHICS.GAME. The
|
|
|
|
DUNGEONSAVE folder will include the saved games. To launch Dungeon Master,
|
|
|
|
just launch the START file, not the DUNGEON MASTER file !!! The program runs
|
|
|
|
well under GS/OS 5.04. But if you have only 1.25 MB of memory (or less)
|
|
|
|
should be carreful at the NDA, CDA, INITS... because they take space ram and
|
|
|
|
the program could crash... The best thing to do is to purge the memory before
|
|
|
|
launching Dungeon Master, Prosel can do that. You can launch the DM.START
|
|
|
|
file instead of the START file, it purges the memory and launchs after the
|
|
|
|
START file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restrictions : - Only one volume is supported for the application for the
|
|
|
|
Prodos 8 version. For exemple, the Battle Chess version that I have patched
|
|
|
|
can't run with this system, you have to use the no-patched version (or wait a
|
|
|
|
new version).
|
|
|
|
- Only two volumes for the application under Prodos 16.
|
|
|
|
- No versions for GS/OS.
|
|
|
|
- Difficult installation for the Prodos 16 version. Especially to
|
|
|
|
support the SYSP16 (used by all the applications).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes : - This progam is interresting for the games, it will be stupid to use
|
|
|
|
a prefessional application which doesn't run under P8 or GS/OS.
|
|
|
|
- The One Volume Limitation for the Prodos 8 is not very important,
|
|
|
|
because it doesn't exist a lot of Prodos 8 program which need more than one
|
|
|
|
volume.
|
|
|
|
- Same thing for the Prodos 16 program : most of them which are 2 or
|
|
|
|
3 disks can be placed on a hard drive.
|
|
|
|
- There is no GS/OS version of this program because most of the GS/OS
|
|
|
|
program can be installed on a hard drive.
