 Hello!

 If you read this text file closely,  you will have a working copy  of 
"ST NEWS" Volume 11 Issue 1 & 2 within a few minutes.
 You might want to take the time to print out this file!

 *IMPORTANT*:  THIS  ISSUE  OF "ST NEWS" NEEDS A HARD DISK  AND 2 OR 4 
MEGABYTE OF RAM MEMORY TO  BE  PUT TOGETHER  AND A HARD DISK OR A HIGH 
DENSITY FLOPPY TO RUN FROM.
 THIS ISSUE OF "ST NEWS" WILL *NOT* RUN FROM MULTIPLE FLOPPIES!

 STEP 0 - CHECKING

- Make sure your hard disk drive has at least 4 Mb of empty space.
- Create a folder called "ST_NEWS.111" on your hard disk.

 STEP 1 - COPYING

- Copy  the file "ST_NEWS.001" from the first "ST NEWS" disk into  the 
  folder "ST_NEWS.111" on your hard disk.
- Copy the files "ST_NEWS.000",  "ST_NEWS.002 and "SPLITTER.TTP"  from 
  the second "ST NEWS" disk into the folder "ST_NEWS.111" on your hard 
  disk, too.
- Make sure all the files mentioned above are now in the same folder - 
  "ST_NEWS.111" - of your hard disk.  The important thing is that  the 
  files *have* to be in one folder together!

 STEP 2 - PUTTING TOGETHER

- Start (double click on) the file called "SPLITTER.TTP" in the folder 
  "ST_NEWS.111"  on  your hard disk.  A so-called  'dialog  box'  will 
  appear.
- Now type in the *exact* line below:

  -u st_news

  and press [RETURN] or click the mouse pointer on the "OK" button  in 
  the 'dialog'.
- The  files  will  now  be put together into  one  big  file  by  the 
  "SPLITTER" program.
- After a while, a file called "ST_NEWS.TOS" will have been created in 
  the "ST_NEWS.111" folder on your hard disk. You can delete the files 
  called    "ST_NEWS.000",     "ST_NEWS.001",     "ST_NEWS.002"    and 
  "SPLITTER.TTP" now.
- "SPLITTER.TTP"  is  a program that messes about with  your  computer 
  memory  and  system variables when it does its  work.  You'd  better 
  reset  your  system now,  or switch it off and on  again,  to  clear 
  things up.

 STEP 3 - UNZIPPING

- Start "ST_NEWS.TOS" by double-clicking on it.
- "ST_NEWS.TOS" is a so-called 'self-extracting-archive'.  It will now 
  de-archive  itself  into the separate components that  make  up  "ST 
  NEWS" Volume 11 Issue 1 & 2.
- When the "ST_NEWS.TOS" program has finished,  it will return to  the 
  desktop.  You  can now remove the file "ST_NEWS.TOS" from your  hard 
  disk.

 STEP 4a - IF YOU WANT TO RUN "ST NEWS" FROM THE HARD DISK

- Simply click on the file "ST_NEWS.PRG".  That's all.  As usual  with 
  all  previous issues of "ST NEWS",  make sure that you do not  start 
  it from low resolution mode if you work on an ST.

 STEP 4b - IF YOU WANT TO RUN "ST NEWS" FROM A HIGH DENSITY FLOPPY

- Make sure you have a high density floppy handy, formatted and empty.
- Copy the following  files  from the "ST_NEWS.111" folder  onto  that 
  floppy: "ST_NEWS.PRG", "SETUP", "ARTICLES" and "KLIK_DIS.1ST".
- There is also a folder  called "PROGRAMS".  In the "PROGRAMS" folder 
  should  be  two files, called "FEATURES.ZIP" and "WOTSERE.TXT". This 
  folder contains bonus extras.  You can keep it on your hard disk  or 
  store it on another floppy disk, as there may not be space for it on 
  your  regular  floppy disk.  It is not needed for "ST NEWS"  to  run 
  properly.
- Now simply click on the file "ST_NEWS.PRG" on the floppy.  As  usual 
  with  all previous issues of "ST NEWS",  make sure that you  do  not 
  start it from low resolution mode if you work on an ST.

 WHAT TO DO IF YOU WANT TO DISTRIBUTE "ST NEWS" ON A HIGH DENSITY 
FLOPPY?

- Instead of a regularly formatted high density disk,  use one that is 
  formatted with 22 sectors per track, 80 tracks, 2 sides. This can be 
  done with programs the likes of "Kobold" and "FastCopy Pro".
- Now  copy  all the files onto that disk,  including  the  "PROGRAMS" 
  folder with the "FEATURES.ZIP" and "WOTSERE.TXT" files.
- If you can't create such a hyper-formatted high density  disk,  just 
  send  a  high density plus 2 International Reply Coupons  in  a  re-
  usable envelope to the "ST NEWS" correspondence address with a  note 
  saying that you want "ST NEWS" Volume 11 Issue 1 & 2 on that disk.

 THAT'S IT.

 If you want more information, double-click on the "KLIK_DIS.1ST" file 
to display it.
