"John - Launchpad can work from floppy disks, but is supplied configured to run from hard disk since most people use it from hard disk. Please read the instructions on how to reconfigure a copy of the program with CONFIG or MENUCONFIG programs to run from FLP1_ (read the README_TXT on disk 1 or README_DOC on disk 2), it is NOT just a case of editing the boot program. Note that in common with many operating system front end programs, it needs to write out its own settings every time you change anything, so with floppy disks you must also set it to prompt for insertion of Launchpad disks when running from floppy, which tends to need a lot of disk changes if you make changes to it often. If you have not updated your copy since Portsmouth, please feel free to send me the disks for a free upgrade and if you wish I'll configure the upgrade to run from FLP1_ for you if you are not using a hard disk system. It is well worth updating anyway as there have been a number of important changes since then. Dilwyn Jones" -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
