!AWJUL92/Goodies/Wimp/!Boot/BootProgs

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

| --------------------------------------
| BootProgs file for a !Boot application
| --------------------------------------

| (Note the use of the vertical line for comments in systems programs
|  This is the equivalent of REM in BASIC)

| Step 1 : Run the systems utility

  Run <RunApps$Dir>.!System

| Step 2 : Load virus protection module

  RMensure vprotect 0 RMload system:modules.vprotect
  RMensure vprotect 0 error VProtect has not been loaded
| N.B. The *RMensure,*RMload and *Error commands are defined
|      in the User Guide. 

| Step 3 : Other applications which are run at startup:
|          (Replace next  2 statements with your own applications)

  Run <RunApps$Dir>.!App1
  Run <RunApps$Dir>.!App2

| Step 4 : Applications whose !Boot files are run at startup:
|          (Replace next  2 statements with your own applications)
  Run <BootApps$Dir>.!App3.!Boot
  Run <BootApps$Dir>.!App4.!Boot


| Step 5 : Open root directory window
|          (Hard disc version. Must be full path name in Filer_OpenDir)

  Filer_OpenDir adfs::HardDisc4.$
