Last Minute Addendums to Amiga.DOC ================================== On a 512k Amiga you will sometimes find that Icon programs report an insufficient memory in startup code. There are two cures for this: 1) Make certain that you have *nothing* in the ram disk. Also, make certain that you are not multi-tasking - for example, leaving a copy of the editor you are using running. 2) The startup-code consumes a certain amount of memory. You can sometimes run programs using 1> Iconx Prog That would not run as simply 1> Prog 3) If both of these options fail to work, then you need to buy, borrow, or steal more memory. _________________________ STACK It is important to allow sufficient stack - at least 20000, and, for some applications, more. __________________________ MAXMEM On a 512k amiga, you may have trouble loading the IEEE library. One solution to this is to set MAXMEM= to a sufficiently small amount to allow the program to run and the IEEE library to be loaded. This will not happen with more memory. _________________________ Startup-scripts: Here is a sample startup-script that does assigns and such for you. It assumes that you have located the four files, Icont, Iconx, ITran and ILink in SYS:IconV6/Bin, and the header file ixhdr in SYS:IconV6/sysexe. ________________++++++++++ CUT HERE +++++++++++++++=================_____________ Echo "" Echo "Hello!"
