#NoteBook Demo – Fails
11 messages in this thread
The nbdemo will not run on my 2000 w/5megs. "RUN NBDEMO" a new task
starts, then nothing. I am under WB2.

Glad to see your message! I'm getting better at amiga stuff, and thought I
did everything right to run this demo – I even download ed it twice! I
have a 3000 with 2.04 and it doesn't work. I spent about an hour (at
least) playing with it. I'm bummed. ms
Did you install the font correctly? It won't run unless you have a
directory in your fonts drawer called "swall", a file in it called "9", and
a file in fonts: called "swall.font".
The demo _does_ work.

Ben:
The following is from the installation instructions:
CD fonts:
makedir swall
copy ram:9 swall
copy ram:nbook c:
I beleive it should be:
CD fonts:
makedir swall
copy ram:swall.font <= missing from instructions.
copy ram:9 swall
copy ram:nbook c:
This is what may be causing confusion.

Thanks, Michael – I'll change them and re-upload them pronto.

Ok, I've uploaded a new copy of the demo with better installation
instructions.
Thanks again for the help.
Ben
Thanks again for the NOTEBOOK. 🙂

Have you installed the font? That's the only thing it looks for.
Ben
ben, (1) After creating dir small under the font dir and moving 9 into it,
as well as moving small.font under the font dir. The docs do not say that.
I run fixfonts.
(2) The docs talk about nbook, but nbdemo is the only program
download.

The dir, and the font, is NOT called "small", it's called "swall" with a
"W". That's your problem.
