Quick Installation

Bars&Pipes Professional is easy to install on your Amiga computer. Install it on a hard disk or run it directly from your floppy drive(s).

Hard Disk Installation

To install Bars&Pipes Professional on a hard drive, follow these directions:

  1. Make sure that you have at least two megabytes of space left on your hard disk.
  2. Place the Bars&Pipes Professional program disk in any floppy drive.
  3. Double-click on the Hard Disk Install icon. This runs the hard disk installation procedure.
  4. Hard Disk Install asks you to choose which hard drive volume to place Bars&Pipes Professional in. If unsure, select the volume with the most available space.
  5. Hard Disk Install creates a drawer named "Bars&Pipes Professional" on the selected volume.
  6. Hard Disk Install copies all files and drawers into the Bars&Pipes Professional drawer.
  7. When Hard Disk Install finishes, store the Bars&Pipes Professional disks in a safe place.
  8. Run Bars&Pipes Professional from the Bars&Pipes Professional drawer on your hard disk.

If you have an earlier version of Bars&Pipes Professional, Hard Disk Install only updates it if the previous version is also kept in a drawer called Bars&Pipes Professional. If your original drawer is named anything other than Bars&Pipes Professional, Hard Disk Install ignores it and creates a new drawer.

Floppy Disk Installation

To install Bars&Pipes Professional on a floppy drive, follow these directions:

  1. Place the Bars&Pipes Professional program disk in any floppy drive.
  2. Double-click on the Floppy Disk Install icon, then follow the prompts as they appear on the screen.
  3. Floppy Disk Install prepares the two Bars&Pipes Professional disk so you can run directly from floppy disk.
  4. Once the Floppy Install is finished, duplicate both Bars&Pipes Professional disks. Please consult your Amiga manual if you have questions.
  5. Run Bars&Pipes Professional from the duplicate disks.

If you currently have only floppy disk drives, but plan to purchase hard drives later, go ahead and install on floppy disk, you'll be able to run the Hard Disk Install program later.

* TIP * Although Bars&Pipes Professional does run from floppy disk, we recommend the use of a hard drive when possible.
