Name: Star OS Light Edition Version: Beta 1.0 Light Author: TDL incorporated , Mikael Terdell Machine: Ti-83 Size : 4384bytes Description: StarOS is a GUI for the ti-83 machine. Much faster than BOREAL Contents: *1* Installing StarOS *2* Using The Mouse *3* Installing Programs For StarOS *4* Uninstalling Programs For StarOS *5* Versions released *6* How To Reach Me/Reporting Bugs ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *1* Installing StarOS: 1) Copy STAROS1L.83G to your Ti-83. 2) Overwrite all programs if needed. 4) Delete the list PASS40 (or in some cases PASS41) 3) Ready to run! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *2* Using The Mouse: By now you have already covered the basics of the mouse. The arrows move the arrow cursor and 2nd clicks. But in the main menu, Enter clicks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *3* Installing programs to StarOS Run the prgmSTARINST . Choose a slot. 1-10 is the first "page", there are 3 such pages. 1-10 is nr. one, 11-20 is nr. 2, 21-30 is the third. In Star OS there are two arrows at the bottom line, with thoose you switch page. It´s totally up to you where you want to put your programs, but, you should put it in the first empty slot at the page you want it at. E.g. if page one is empty, and you want it at page two, you can do so. But you should put it at the first empty slot at the second page. Next step is puting a line into prgmSTARPROG, so StarOS know what to execute. You find the line as follows: Example : I put a program named MIKAEL into slot 1 (first page) and a program named MIKAEL2 into slot 11(second page). Then I look up the two lines "If P=1 and G=1" and "If P=1 and G=2", simply, P is the slot number of page G. Beneath "If P=1 and G=1" there is a empty line (unless you havent put anything there before) at that line I put this line : prgmMIKAEL and under the line "If P=1 and G=1" I put prgmMIKAEL2. I hope you understood, I cant explain better, my english is just to bad for that. NOTE: The maximum programs installed is 30 (10 per page) NOTE2: StarOS needs to be restarted in order to take changes, If you run Install or Uninstall via StarOS, but if you switch page, the changes will show up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *4* Uninstalling programs from StarOS Run the prgmSTARUNIN . It asks for a slot to delete (1-30). And then it tells you to go and do changes to prgmSTARPROG , but it´s not precise about WHAT to change. I´ll give the explanation here : If you just deleted Slot 1 , then go and look for the line "If P=1 and G=1 prgmXXXX" Delete 'prgmXXXX' but dont delete 'If P=1 and G=1' You have to do this in order to make the area not to start your uninstalled progg.(E.G when u click there) After that, if u got more than one program installed, do this: Before After !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !If P=1 and G=1 !If P=1 and G=1 !prgmXXXX <-Delete !prgmXXXX2 !If P=2 and G=1 !If P=1 and G=1 !prgmXXXX2 <-Move up to the deleted line !prgmXXXX3 !If P=3 and G=1 !If P=1 and G=1 !prgmXXXX3 <-Move this up one step to. ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You delete the uninstalled program. After that you move all programs below that up one step. E.G "If P=5 and G=1:prgmXXXX5" will be "If P=4 and G=1:prgmXXXX5" . BUT if the line under the one you just deleted has another value after G=, then you should NOT move that line one line up. I hope you got that, cause I cant explain better. NOTE: StarOS needs to be restarted in order to take changes, If you run Install or Uninstall via StarOS. But it will take change if you switch page. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *5* Changes version by version V b1.0l : Simply a light version of the normal, about 3000bytes smaller.
