Project D: An Overview

Welcome to one ofthe mostinnovative concepts in diskutility packages. Theconceptbehind

Project D is a simple one: integrate a few major functions (Tools) with some minor utilities

(MiniTools) then add a common operating environment and a simple yet elegant user

interface. Allow the user to customize the desktop environment and be able to update and

upgrade thesystem easily.

Getting startedwith Project D

The ProjectD System softwarerequires KickstartV1.2 orhigher. Ifyou do nothave V1.2 of

the Amiga Operating System, contact your local dealer. Insert the Project D System Disk in

the internal disk drive when the "Insert Workbench" prompt appears (after booting Kickstart

on the A1000). Wait for the Workbench screen to appear, then double click on the Project D

disk icon. A new window should open on the screen and after a few seconds the Project D

Supervisor iconwill appear. Double clickthe Supervisor icon and in a fewmoments you will

be inthe ProjectDDesktopEnvironment.

The Project D System Supervisor

We wouldlike to introduce you to the ProjectD: Supervisor, the heart ofthe ProjectD system

software. The Supervisor's desktop is thefirstthing you willseewhenyouloadProjectD.

Project D Tools

Scattered around the desktop are the Tool Icons, you can manipulate these icons much the

same way as you wouldmanipulateWorkbenchicons. To activate a tool, firstplace themouse

pointer on the icon ofthe toolyou wantto select, nextrapidlypress andrelease the leftmouse

button twice (this is called double-clicking). The mouse pointer will change to the 'Busy

Pointer' (a capital D with a lightning bolt superimposed on it) and in a few moments you will

have entered the tool's operating environment.

Project D MiniTools

By holding the right mouse button down you will activate the Amiga's drop-down menu

system. You should see two menu titles in themenu bar, the first (MiniTools) is your link to

the Project D: MiniTools. This menu will appear through out all the Project D Tools and

MiniTools andusually contains the 'About' function ofthe current tool and some 'quick and

dirty' routines thatcouldbeuseful whenyou areusing atool.

The SupervisorMenu

on or off. A checkmark will appear with this item when the Workbench screen is available

Workbench screenfrom ProjectD).

you want information about Select the tool by clicking once on the tool icon. A requester

their originalpositions onthe screen.
