Acorn/Logistix/ReadMe
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.

File contents
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 (*).
