           DISK_MAG - DMG.15
           =================

  NOTE: For instructions on unpacking
        the ARC files see below.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 CONTENTS:
 =========
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** 1STSHOW *** 

 Shows 1st_WORD documents to the 
 desktop; much faster than loading 
 1st_WORD.PRG every time you want to 
 look at a WP mode 1stWord text file.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** ALARM ***

 Alarm clock accessory - only works from 
 the desktop or within a GEM 
 application.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** ARCX.TTP ***

 Use this to un-ARC the *.ARC files - 
 full instructions at the end of this 
 file.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** BESTSHEL ***

 Shell utility - this is a demo version 
 of a commercial product. But the only 
 limitation is that you are limited to 5 
 menu's - which is quite enough for many 
 applications.

 If your work sessions include regularly 
 moving between a number of programs in 
 different folders then this will be 
 invaluable. 

 (High and medium resolution only)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** BOOT_INF ***

 Auto loads a text file at boot up - 
 useful if you want a readme file 
 to be displayed when a disks is booted.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** CAPS LOCK ***

 Displays a caps lock light on the right 
 of the menu bar - excellent for 1st 
 Word or any other program that doesn't 
 show the caps lock status.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** DCACHE ***

 Disk Cache system - includes control 
 accessory that gives comprehensive 
 control over the cache when it is 
 installed. Very useful with well 
 behaved applications, and much more 
 flexible than a RAM disk. Avoid using 
 this with applications which may suffer 
 fatal crashes - files you thought had 
 been written to disk may not be there 
 when you re-boot.

 (High and Medium resolution only)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** DCOPY3.302 ***

 More than a disk copier - includes fast 
 ARC utilities, file handling and  text 
 file conversions.

 (High and Medium Resolution only)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** DOMINOES ***

 Well executed logic game that is a lot 
 harder than it seems at first. GFA 
 Basic source code included.

(High and Low Resolution only)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** EZLABELS ***

 Prints up to 5 lines of text on 3.5" 
 envelope address labels; a lot less 
 bother than trying to feed an envelope 
 through the printer.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** FSELV60 ***

 Another replacement Item Selector - the 
 best specified PD example yet. 
 Includes: sort by: size, date, time, 
 extension; change: file name, read only 
 status, time and date; plus a directory 
 printer.


 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** GEN_LOCK ***

 Autoloads a DEGAS PI? file to the 
 desktop at boot up (place in AUTO 
 folder) with PI? file on the root 
 directory.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** HACN100 ***

 Shareware Disk Copier with many 
 facilties for copying protected disks.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** MAC ICON ***

 Novelty fix to replace the disk icons 
 with Macintosh lookalikes. (Does anyone 
 have the source code for this?)

 (New TOS incompatible?)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** M_WRITER ***

 Message Writer - very accomplished 
 scrolling message writter written by 
 Gareth Pople; assembler source code 
 included.

 (Low Resolution only)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 *** ZAPCARD ***

 Very nice index card style database; up

 lines of text per card. Up to 1024 
 cards allowed on a 520ST.

  ====================================

             %%%%%%%%%%%%%
             Un packing the
         Archived (.ARC) files
         %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


* Unpacking *

1 - Copy ARCX.TTPand an .ARC file onto a 
 disk with sufficient free space on it. 
 (Note: the UN-Archiving will be MUCH 
 faster if you use a RAM disk)


2 - Run ARCX.TTP (double click on its 
 Icon); in the OPEN APPLICATION box 
 enter the name of the ARC file to be 
 unpacked and press Return (or click on 
 the OK box).


3 - Once the desktop returns the ARC 
 file will have been unpacked and the 
 .ARC file may be deleted.


4 - Continue with these steps until all 
 of the files have been unpacked; the 
 un-ARCd files will all fit onto a 
 single DS disk or two SS disks.



 ** HAPPY? **

 Your comments on the format and 
 contents of the  Disk_Mags are always 
 welcome. All feedback will be taken  
 into account when future Disk_Mags are 
 prepared.



 * PROBLEMS? *

 If you have real hassles getting all of 
 the un-packing to work then return 
 this disk, a second disk and return  
 postage and we will supply copies of 
 the unpacked files.
