                      Using Logistix under RISC OS


     This directory contains the components necessary to make existing
     copies of the Acornsoft Logistix package (SKB20) operate from the
     RISC OS Desktop. 


  1. Floppy disc users

     Create a new, RISC OS Logistix disc by carrying out the steps 
     below:

     a. Format a floppy disc and use it to make a backup copy of
        your current Logistix work disc. (You should use your
        original Logistix disc 1 if you do not wish to copy any of 
        your current Logistix files). Name the new disc NewLgx.

     b. Copy the !Boot file and the !Logistix application from the
        support disc to the root directory of disc NewLgx.

     c. Delete the floating point emulator module (fpe) from directory
        $.Logistix on disc NewLgx and replace it with a copy of the new 
        emulator module. The new emulator module is called FPEmulator and
        it can be found in directory $.!System.Modules on RISC OS 
        applications disc 1.

     To use Logistix, insert disc NewLgx into drive 0 or 1, click on the 
     corresponding floppy disc icon and, when the directory viewer
     appears, double click on the !Logistix icon.

     Logistix will allocate you the largest workspace it can, given the
     current status of your machine. If you require more workspace, you 
     must use the Task Manager to free more as appropriate.

     You may also auto-boot the disc provided that it is loaded in 
     drive 0. 

     As under Arthur 1.2, you may also type:

     Logistix

     at the Supervisor prompt (*).


  2. Hard disc users (with default drive configured as 4)

     a. If you have not already installed Logistix on your hard disc,
        do so now, using the HDInstall utility provided on your
        your original Logistix disc 1.

     b. Copy the !Logistix application from the Support Disc to the 
        desired position in your hard disc directory structure. 

     c. Delete the floating point emulator module (fpe) from directory
        $.Logistix on the hard disc and replace it with a copy of the new 
        emulator module. The new emulator module is called FPEmulator and
        it can be found in directory $.!System.Modules on RISC OS 
        applications disc 1.

     To use Logistix, simply open the directory viewer containing the 
     application and double click on the Logistix icon.

     Logistix will allocate you the largest workspace it can, given the
     current status of your machine. If you require more workspace, you 
     must use the Task Manager to free more memory before you enter 
     Logistix.

     As under Arthur 1.2, you may also type:

     Logistix

     at the Supervisor prompt (*).
