                       Using Matrix-3 under Risc OS

By implementing the following procedure you can run your existing version of
Matrix-3 from the Wimp. Matrix-3 will 'take over' the screen and operate in
dedicated mode. By performing a Matrix-3 exit command you can return to the
Wimp.

What you need to do

Copy the directory !Matrix3, with its contents, to a point in your filing
system where you want to see Matrix-3 as an application. This can be on
floppy, hard disc or Econet. You should also arrange for the directory
!System to be present so that the FPEmulator is available for Matrix-3.

The next stage is to copy the following Matrix-3 files from the directory
Matrix3Lib in your existing structure, to the directory !Matrix3:-

              Logo    M3Conf    M3Help    Mat3    Matrix3
 
The file Matrix3 should be renamed as !RunImage.

The directory !Matrix3 will now behave as a standard application directory.
If you double click SELECT on the !Matrix3 directory icon then Matrix-3 is
loaded using the default configuration file M3Conf.

The file !Sprites contains icons for three new file types which have been
allocated to Matrix-3 as follows:

Type D69 (M3Spread) - Spreadsheet file
Type D68 (M3Exec)   - Execute file
Type D67 (M3Conf)   - Configuration file
                                           
If you assign these types to your Matrix-3 files you can double click on the
file icon to load Matrix-3 and automatically action the file.

e.g. Double click on a type 'D69' file 'abc' will load Matrix-3 containing
     the spreadsheet file 'abc'.

Once loaded, Matrix-3 is operated normally, i.e. as under Arthur 1.2
