Ease

INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing EASE, the finest Desktop Replacement for the 
Atari range of computers.

The EASE manual will be forwarded to you free of charge as soon as we 
have the English translation finished.

To install EASE please follow these steps.

Installation onto Hard Drive:

Create a folder called EASE on your C partition.
Copy the complete contents of the EASE disk into this EASE folder.
Double click on EXTRAS.TOS to decompress the rest of the program.
When this is finished delete the EXTRAS.TOS from the EASE folder.

Installation onto Floppy Disk:

Make a backup of the original disk.
Format a Blank Disk.
Copy EXTRAS.TOS from the EASE disk onto the formatted disk.
Double click on EXTRAS.TOS to decompress the rest of the program.
When this is finished delete the EXTRAS.TOS from the formatted disk.

To run EASE you simply double click on EASE.PRG.  The only file that 
needs to be present in the same place as EASE.PRG is ICONS.CNF.

The other extra files that come with EASE are listed here:

3D_SW_IC.CNF

This is an alternative icon file with 3D icons.

CHANGES.PRG

Place this into your auto folder to allow EASE to know how much room 
is free on a disk or partition.  This is used for the 'Check 
Destination before Copying' option, along with the ability to show how 
much room is left on a disk/partition at the top of each desktop 
window.

START.PRG

This is for users of pre TOS 1.4 machines.  Place this into your auto 
folder along with START.PAR.  This will allow these machines to 
automatically load EASE everytime you boot up.  Users of TOS 1.4 or 
above do not need this program, please use the Install Application 
option under the normal desktop.  Users of MagiC need to install an 
extra line into the MAGX.INF file with the following contents:

#_SHL   C:\EASE\EASE.PRG

Please note that this line should go before the line containing #_CTR

COMMAND.TOS

This is a small command line interpreter.  Use this in the normal way 
by double clicking it.

ICONCONS.PRG

This is automatically called from within EASE when you use the 
function 'Edit Icons'.  Floppy disk users must copy this file onto 
the same disk and into the same folder as EASE.PRG.

Most of EASE is self explanatory and the features can be found simply 
by trying out various options.  This is only meant to be a simple 
guide to installing EASE.  The Manual that will follow will go into 
detail of how each function works.  We ask that you experiment with 
EASE so that you can find out some of its features before the manual 
arrives.  Please do not call our offices to ask about the features 
before the manual arrives.

We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
