#Music-X Demo

Nope, CBM distributes disks that way. I would have preferred them to customize
the kickstart to open the initial CLI screen at a full size instead! The exact
name was "WorkBench 1.2 A500 I", if I'm not wrong. Mario
Mario,
Thanks for the info. I wonder how many other different names that C= used for
the system Workbench disk supplied with the computer?
Now you know why it's such a pain to get install scripts that work. There's no
consistent base to plan the script around. (C= are you listening?)
For the record – to use the Music-X demo install script (execute.me) you must
have either a Workbench 1.3 disk or a Workbench 1.2 disk AND they must be named
as follows: (without quotes of course)
"Workbench 1.2"
or
"Workbench1.3"
That is how the disks are distributed in the US (at least the copies that I
have access to 8).
The reason that I required (what I thought would be) the original disk in
certain spots was to get an unchanged copy of the startup-sequence to edit in
the Music-X assigns. Otherwise, you might have some commands in your custom
startup-sequence (the one on your S: directory) that would not be in the
limited set of commands that are copied onto the Music-X demo disk. Of course,
the standard script is copyright by C=, which is why all

the gyrations were necessary in the first place.
The intent was to make the install as painless as possible, but, as you've
seen, there always seems to be a hitch. 8)
Glad that you've gotten it working. How do you like the program so far?

David, I DON'T like it. I just love it.. 🙂 Don't mind for the installation
script: even if it was faulty, it is the best one I've ever seen. I wasn't sure
about buying a MIDI interface for my Amiga before seeing Music-X (I have an
atari ST, you know..). I have no doubts now! Mario.
Mario,
FAULTY! well… 😉
Glad that you like Music-X. I'm really excited about it and hope that it's the
first in a series of powerful MIDI software packages for the Amiga. The
potential for the Amiga in MIDI is great, we just need a few more blockbuster
packages like Music-X to pave the way.

I meant 'Faulty' as 'It didn't work at the firt try'! I'm sorry if I chose the
wrong word, but english is not my first lagnuage, since I call from Rome,
Italy. Mario!
Mario,
No problem. I was only joking with you. (notice the wink at the end? 😉
Actually, your message and talking with Rick Rae brought to my attention a real
bug that I had squashed but that inadvertantly got left out of the uploaded
version regarding the renaming the Shell icon when installing with WB1.2. I'll
be fixing it shortly, along with trying to provide an easy way to handle
original disk names different from the defaults.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for your feedback, too. 8)

Amen to that, David!
