AmigaCOMAL v2.03 Structured BASIC Programming language {1990}
----------------------------------------------------------------
****************************************************************
Instruction for Cloanto's Amiga-Forever Emulator!
https://www.amigaforever.com/
{Looks complicated but it's like 1 Minute task!}

In case you are completely new to AMIGA System, know how:

DH0: is equal to WORKBENCH:
DH1: is equal to WORK:

In most standard solutions {unless someone made it differently!}
****************************************************************



****************************************************************
Revision 1.0.0 -                                        PART 1-3
****************************************************************
****************************************************************
HOW TO INSTALL AmigaCOMAL, VERSION 2.03 - Folder Copy / Assign
****************************************************************

Copy AmigaCOMAL folder {incl. AmigaCOMAL.info} directly to DH1 :
{which is normally a WORK: drive/partition}

     e.g. WORK:AmigaCOMAL

Or you can copy it as a subfolder in case
you have a folder structure.

     e.g. WORK:Coding/AmigaCOMAL


REMINDER:
COPY/PASTE IN BOTH CASES incl. AmigaCOMAL.info

----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You can/could do that the best by just copy/paste it where
your Amiga OS directory/installation is {Windows}

     e.g.
 
     E:\Amiga\AmigaSystems\AmigaCOMAL-v2.0.3\Work\{AmigaCOMAL}
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then make 2 assign lines in user-startup {S:}
{Assuming the AmigaCOMAL folder was copied directly to WORK:}

NOTE: You can do that also in Windows! 
Just open the Workbench drive {folder}, then S subfolder and
click on user-startup. 
Open it with NOTEPAD and add following lines: 

     ;Start of AmigaCOMAL Version 2.03
      Assign CML: WORK:AmigaCOMAL
      Assign AmigaCOMAL: WORK:AmigaCOMAL
     ;End

Save it and start your emulated Amiga!

Now proceed as described further below to complete the
AmigaCOMAL installation!

{DEFAULT TOOL part ONLY IF YOU DIDN'T USE DH1:AmigaCOMAL
as the install destination}, otherwise proceed with a PART 3-3

****************************************************************
****************************************************************
HOW TO INSTALL AmigaCOMAL, VERSION 2.03 - Default Tool Setting
****************************************************************
NOTE: 
WORK = DH1: {Standard Amiga setup}
Because of the assignment {Assign CML: WORK:AmigaCOMAL} you can
also use CML:AmigaCOMAL {instead of DH1:AmigaCOMAL/AmigaCOMAL},
however, i prefer to use the full path version!
Short version means how the AmigaCOMAL after the CML: 
is an application, and not the folder as in the full path
version {for default tool}

----->

Open the folder AmigaCOMAL and find just below this document,
"HowToInstall" an "Install.sav" icon.
Now click 1x on it to mark it and go to the upper menu and click
on menu "Icons" and choose "Information"

The information window will open and you'll see there 
following: {DEFAULT-TOOL:}

     DH1:AmigaCOMAL/AmigaCOMAL

change it to where ever your AmigaCOMAL Application
is located now! Last AmigaCOMAL is the application itself!

     e.g.	

     DH1:YourFolder/Amiga-Programming/AmigaCOMAL/AmigaCOMAL
    
Click on save and then double click on "Install.sav" icon to
start the setup procedure:.

{If Install.sav script won't start, you did something wrong!}
{Like entered the wrong path, made a typo etc.}
{Just repeat previous steps then}



****************************************************************
Revision 1.0.0                                          PART 3-3
****************************************************************
****************************************************************
HOW TO INSTALL AmigaCOMAL, VERSION 2.03 - Install.sav Settings
****************************************************************

If Install.sav has started, do following:
{First line is your AmigaCOMAL folder full path}

     e.g.

     DH1:YourFolder/Amiga-Programming/AmigaCOMAL/
     DH1:AmigaCOMAL/AmigaCOMAL/  

     {/} is important behind AmigaCOMAL/
     {no double 'AmigaCOMAL' entry here!}
     {It's pointing to a folder, NOT any FILE}

Answer the remaining questions and you'll be good to go!

NOTE:
{in case you need to correct things, you can always run the
Install.sav script again}
...
You are finally ready and can double click on the
AmigaCOMAL icon to start programming!


IMPORTANT INFORMATION for Install.sav
-------------------------------------
In case you won't see your settings activated after you start
AmigaCOMAL then you probably have entered folder path 
incorrectly {one or more times}
If AmigaCOMAL itself won't start  at all, then you probably have
the entered font NOT listed in Fonts folder: {Workbench:Fonts/}
Siesta and IBM fonts are part of the .7zip file.
You need to copy them to your system Fonts folder.
----------------------------------------------------------------



HELP REQUIRED:
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is also AmigaCOMAL v2.4, v2.04L and v2.10 existing!
In case you have it or know someone who could/might have it, 
please do upload it to www.archive.org!

Thank you very much!
