ST INIT v 3.1 M J H March 1991 INTRODUCTION This program will allow you to select which desk accessories and whichprograms contained within the auto folder should be loaded when the ST is initialised. It will work with floppy disks and auto-booting harddisks. This program is released as shareware, if you have any trouble with this program just leave a message for me at the address given at the end of this file. If you use this program you do so at your own risk! I will not be held responsible for any damage to disks, or the information contained on disks or the computers and T.Vs (monitors) HOW TO INSTALL ST_INIT.PRG To use, place the program in the AUTO folder of your boot disk or KOςσO@ ό @ϐOOOOOpOπOOOρOOAπ all programs on to another disk or ramdisk and copy them back into the AUTO folder in the order/pςOρOOOςϐOτOωOpψOρOρρOO πρO@ppppppπOpppppπ πψOAρOOO OOτ pό OςςO  OπϒωOτ@OOpτ OςOψςOOOώOπOp@ρOogram can also read a new disk. This means that it is not necessary to turn the ST off if you have booted with the wrong disk. Just insert the disk and press 'N' until you have found the correct disk to boot from. Only single key presses are required. The only time it is necessary to press return is when entering the date and the time. No punctuation is allowed when entering the date or the time, just enter the numbers ie 2nd January 1989 is entered as 020189[return]. COMMANDS Use the cursor keys to move the cursor about the screen and the spacebar or the return key to select or de-select programs and accessories. A - Toggle Auto-Boot program (TOS 1.4 onwards) A file must have already been installed as auro-booting via the desktop for this to work F - Change screen frequency (Colour Only) NOTE some TV's can handle 60hz, if yours can't, just press 'F' again to reset to 50hz N - Re-read the disk (Floppy disk only) R - Change screen resolution (Colour Only or TT030) S - as above T - Set the date and the time V - Turn off/on the verify flag for floppy disks. Esc - Exit. The program will rename the files selected or de-selected by you. If there is a DESKTOP.INF file in the root directory, the program will alter the resolution flag to match the selected screen resolution and re-write the/p DESKTOP.INF file back to the disk. LIMITATIONS The program can only control 114 desk accessories, and 38 programs in the AUTO folder. I don't even use half this many so i'm not really interested in having the ability to handle more. You will only be able to get about 20 on a floppy disk anyway. If there is an error with the disk when trying to rename the files, the program will simply ignore it and continue on to the next file afterdisplaying an error message, rather than hanging around waiting for the disk to sort itself out. This means the file may not be renamed when exiting the program. This program should run without any problems on any ST as it only uses legal calls to the Operating System. *** Version 1 was called 'ACCLOAD', and was only capable of handling up to 160 desk accessories, and was tested on floppy disks and hard drives for over a year. Version 2 had the following additions: 1) Flashing cursor 2) Free Ram Indicator 3) Ability to change screen frequency 4) Date and time continuously displayed on the main screen 5) Ability to control which files in the auto folder are to be loaded and run. 6) A much nicer presentation screen Version 2 was modified to handle the bug in TOS version 1.6 with regards to the DESKTOP.INF file, so that the STE 1.6 ROMs can be set to medium res by the desktop. - Completed 23/2/90. Subsequent version 2.x were mainly bug fixes, and the title/ pO πOO@OO ππO O Op τ  ρOOOOGppppp@Ø OBBFBppppp44;29;4:97::740262'g'DgDD'g8@'D'#D g'D''''gA'G@'8FDA'''@G''g8@D''@@AD'gD''BD'A'@g@'8@gO x88x88O
