installing protext
has anyone put protext 6.6 onto amiga forever - it is now freeware and supplied as 4 disks that are not adfs (in fact aren't anything as far as i can see).
i am having a lot of problems and have been away from the amiga scene for a long time. iggy |

Unpack the zip archive and use the Add Directory button on WinUAE's harddrives page to add the four directories with the following volume names:
Program Disk -> Protext6-Program Printer Driver Disk -> Protext6-Printers Dictionay Disk -> Protext6-Dictionary Thesaurus Disk -> Protext6-Thesaurus Then start WinUAE and use the Install_Protext icon from the Protext6-Program disk. Alternatively you can make four ADFs, format them with the above volume names and copy the contents of each directory to the respective ADF. |

Thanks - that sounds like a plan - any idea if it will work on Forever Plus using the workbench 3.1 option ?
After all these years there is still nothing to touch protext for certain tasks and command mode / stored commands are stil hugely useful tools. |

AFAIK AF is still built on WinUAE. Last time I tried the Player (I really don't like it), I could press F12 to bring up the WinUAE config window.
