=========================================================================== De-Archiving =========================================================================== To de-archive the Non-Commodore libraries, enter at the command line: Liberator_Extras:lha e Liberator_Extras:libs.lha e.g. Liberator_Extras:lha e Liberator_Extras:libs.lha Ram:MyLibs/ =========================================================================== To de-archive the Non-Commodore library docs, enter at the command line: Liberator_Extras:lha e Liberator_Extras:docs.lha eg Liberator_Extras:lha e Liberator_Extras:docs.lha Docs:Non-Commodore/ =========================================================================== After de-archiving the docs to your chosen destination. The path to these docs should be added to your Multiview or AmigaguideŽ search path so as they become integerated into your database. =========================================================================== If you have recieved the Commodore Developers Update disks, you can, after de-archiving, convert the autodocs into hypertext format using the AD2AG and AD2HT utilities. 1.3 users MUST use the AD2HT program 2.04+ users MUST use AD2AG. These programs along with the required autodoc.xref file can be found on Disk 4 of the Update Kit in the amigaguide drawer, you will of course have to dearchive the file amigaguide.lha first. Using the Ram Disk: ° Copy either AD2AG or AD2HT to Ram: ° Copy autodoc.xref to Ram: ° Copy one or several of the autodocs to Ram: ° Shift select the autodoc(s) and double click the AD2AG/AD2HT icon ° After conversion the converted doc will be on Ram: minus the .doc filename extension ° The number of docs you can shift-key select at one time will depend on how much free RAM you computer has available. You will probably have to convert them in batches. ° Once this has been completed, once again you should add the the path(s) to them to your text viewers search path. =========================================================================== Just before you add them to the search path you might like to consider these further adjustments:- 1. The converted Commodore autodocs have no INDEX node embedded in them meaning that the INDEX button on the hypertext viewer will be unavailable. Therefore to get back to the main index file Lib_Index you will have to use the Retrace button to retrace your individual steps backward until you finally reach the Lib_Index. This can be inconvenient, especially if you have been wandering through many button presses. Therefore, there is a small Amos program on this disk called IndexNode.AMOS which will insert an index node into the converted Commodore autodocs enabling instant return to the main Lib_Index document via the hypertext viewers Index button. 2. The converted Commodore autodocs will also have additional buttons embedded which will apperently have no effect ie you will get a DisplayBeep(). If you want access to these you will have to dearchive the 'C-Header' files on Disk 2 of the 3.1 Update Kit and place the the de-archived drawers onto a volume named TEXT_INCLUDE: The 15 or so drawers should be in the root of this volume, NOT in the drawer named 'include' where they are found after you de-archive them initially from the 3.1 Update Disk. In addition you will have to run them through the C-Header.AMOS program on this disk which will turn them into hypertext format. =========================================================================== The GadToolsBox.lha archive can be decompressed using the general method stated above. This archive contains the ancillary material required for the utility program OrgAsm. If you do not know about this program then please write enclosing a stamped self-addressed envelope to the address below. Using OrgAsm you can have multi-window, multi-gadget intuition graphic user interfaces (GUI's) up and running in Amos in less than 10 minutes!!! =========================================================================== In case you are wondering the libraries post.library, con.library, turtle.library and their associated docs are here because they will be included in a future upgrade of Liberator. =========================================================================== =========== T-SOFT PO BOX 598 AYR KA6 6PJ U.K. ===========
