Thank you for purchasing AmigaCOMAL! {VERSION 2.03!}

With version 2.0x of AmigaCOMAL, the AmigaCOMAL compiler
and the entire package development part are now also delivered. This means 
that the diskette is almost completely filled up, and you can therefore not
follow the installation instructions in the manual.

In our experience, it is always a complicated matter to get a new program 
installed - especially if you only have one floppy drive and therefore want
to have a boot disk with the program on it. We will therefore try to provide
some instructions.

First make a working copy of the AmigaCOMAL disk 
(this should always be done first). If you have two floppy drives, do this by
placing the AmigaCOMAL in one drive! 
(remember that it must be write-protected!) and a fresh, blank disk in the
other. Now move the AmigaCOMAL disk symbol over the blank disk symbol with 
the mouse and otherwise follow the instructions given by the Amiga.

If you only have one floppy drive, you can use the 'Duplicate' menu 
(in Workbench 2.x the 'Copy' menu). Insert the AmigaCOMAL disk into the disk
drive (remember that it must be write-protected!) and select the disk icon by
clicking once with the mouse. Then find 'Duplicate' in the Workbench menu
and select it.

After copying, rename the new diskette by removing
'copy of' from the name (use the rename menu in the Workbench).

After the working copy has been made, put the original in a safe place.

We are now ready to make the actual working disks. In the Packdev drawer
there is a "ReadMe" file that describes how to make package development
disks, so here we will concentrate on the actual AmigaCOMAL disk.

This is easiest to make by first making another copy. From this copy,
remove the PackDev drawer (and possibly the "ReadMe" files).

If you have two floppy drives and want to use the Workbench disk to boot,
the file 'iff.library' must be copied to the Workbench disk 
(this requires 6 free blocks on it!). This file is used by the UniGraphics
package when saving screenshots to disk. The copying can be done from
AmigaCOMAL with the command: 


    copy "AmigaCOMAL:Libs/iff.library","Libs:iff.library"

or from the CLI with a similar command: 
    
    copy AmigaCOMAL:Libs/iff.library Libs:


If you want to make a boot disk containing AmigaCOMAL
(e.g. if you only have one drive), you need to copy a number of files onto 
the floppy. Let the machine boot with the Workbench disk, then insert the 
AmigaCOMAL disk, press the 'LavBoot' icon and follow the instructions. 
To avoid too many floppy disk changes, you can move 'LavBoot' to the RAM:
disk and start it from there. Note that this creates a "minimal" boot disk.
You can't do much other than run AmigaCOMAL with it. 

When installing on a hard disk, first create a folder called AmigaCOMAL. 
Then copy everything that is in the root of the AmigaCOMAL disk, as well as
the five directories 'LstFiles', 'Programs', 'Packages', 'Externals' and 
'Compiler' to this folder. If the hard drive is named 'dh0:' this can be done
from the CLI with the commands:


    copy AmigaCOMAL:#? dh0:AmigaCOMAL
    makedir dh0:AmigaCOMAL/LstFiles
    makedir dh0:AmigaCOMAL/Programs
    makedir dh0:AmigaCOMAL/Externals
    makedir dh0:AmigaCOMAL/Packages
    makedir dh0:AmigaCOMAL/Compiler
    copy AmigaCOMAL:LstFiles dh0:AmigaCOMAL/LstFiles all
    copy AmigaCOMAL:Packages dh0:AmigaCOMAL/Packages all
    copy AmigaCOMAL:Compiler dh0:AmigaCOMAL/Compiler all


The file iff.library must be placed in Libs: with the command:

    copy AmigaCOMAL:Libs/iff.library Libs:

Finally, add the following line to the startup sequence:

    assign Cml: dh0:AmigaCOMAL
