You may have to
set
up
some special
ASSIGN statements in
order
for you
r
software
to work correctly from the
hard drive.
The
ASS IGN
command
allows
you to assign
a
logical device name
to
a
directory.
In this
case
the device
is
DISK
I
,
and
the
directory
is
DH8 :Drawer.
Be
su
re to remove DISK I from the
floppy drive before
attempting
to run the
software from
the hard drive.
For example,
suppose you
copy
a
program
into the directory
DH8:Drawer, and when
you attempt to
run the software
a requester
appear~
saying:
Please insert Volume DISKlinto any drive
This indicates that the
software
is
looking for files
on
the original
disk (volume) on which it
was
distributed. By
assigning the volume
name to your new directory, the
software
will
be routed
to the
cor-
rect location. To do this,
open
a
eLI
/
Shell
window,
and type:
ASSIGN DISKI
:
DHe:Drawer
If the requester is
still
on the
screen,
click
on
RETRY.
If the
requester
does not reappear, the ASSIGN worked. You may want
to
add this
command
to the Workbench partition's
Startup
II file
(Workbench:s/
Startup
lI
)
so
that the assignment
is made when you
boot the
Amiga. For information
