AutoPilot
Lisa,
First of all, set ATALKIII for 8 bits, no parity, 1 Stop bit. You do this
under the "Settings" menu. Then, look under "Transfer" for Protocol. You
should have several protocols listed down at the bottom in a different
color from the others, and one of them should be 'bplus.' Choose that
one. Now, go to AmigaVendor GO AMIGAV, and type LIB 9. You will see the
Lib 9! prompt, and you type DOW AP.LHA PROTO:BPLUS CompuServe will then
ask, Name for your computer to use. You type both the path and the name
of the program – such as df0:AP.LHA to put it on a floppy in drive 0:
Then, press Right-Amiga R, and it should download for you. Do the same to
get the documentation.
After you have these programs, you will need to unpack them using another
program you must download: LHA138.RUN, from Library 16 of AmigaUser. To
get it, type GO AMIGAU to get to the forum, then LIB 16 to find the right
library, and then type DOW LHA138.RUN PROTO:BPLUS, answer the "Name for
your computer to use" with DF0:LHA138.RUN, and press Right-Amiga and R to
start the transfer. Then, sign off.
Now, to unpack these things do this:
MAKEDIR DF0:LHA
CD DF0:LHA
DF0:LHA138.RUN
(That unpacks LHA138.RUN. To see the files, type DIR, and you will get a
list of them. One of the files will be LHA. You want to copy that one to
your c: directory or to your tools: directory. Do it this way:)
COPY LHA C:
Next, you need to unpack AutoPilot. Follow the same pattern:
MAKEDIR DF0:AP
CD DF0:AP
LHA DF0:AP.LHA
Then type DIR to see the files in that directory.
Next, do the same thing for the docs. Either read the docs using MORE or
print them to your printer. They give you step-by-step instructions for
setting up AutoPilot and getting started using it.
If you need any help with this, please ask. It is confusing until you
have done it a few times, and then it becomes second nature. Please let
us help until it gets easy.
