                  ======================================

Hi there, This is UNiC documentation.

What's UNiC?

It's a GEM filesystem manager for minix partition respecting the kgmd 
installation.



What can it do?

It will open the directory for you, easier to locate directory in such 
a structure, and of course faster.

It will also give you great help if you RIGHT MOUSE CLICK over a 
directory instead of left mouse click.
(attention, not ALL directory have help).

The little speaker icon on the top right is to switch ON/OFF the sound 
effect.

The little button down right is to iconify, Yes I know it is not the 
standard way to iconify.

If you double click on the main window(tree 0), the program will TOP.
However you can select/open even if the program is in the background.



What do I need to run it?

-You will need of course a minix partition, preferably installed from 
 kgmd/kemd.

-MiNT if possible, but will run in magic, (why the hell would a magic 
 user need /usr/local/bin folder ;))

-An AV_server desktop, preferably the excellent THING, but again, it 
 worked with JINNEE in magic. (compatibility reason, I like to see my 
 programs everywhere)

that's all.



How do I install it?

AVSERVER MUST BE SET, so make sure you have AVSERVER=THING somewhere.

From naes, n_aes.cnf should have: export AVSERVER=THING
From multitos, gem.cnf should have: setenv AVSERVER=THING

This is IF YOU HAVE THING :) it could be another AV_SERVER desktop.




Features and bugs:

Runs from minix partition as well as from TOS partition.
You can NOT customize UNiC to fit your filestructure, this is meant to 
be static and to keep things clear and clean for kgmd/kemd users.
This tool is meant for beginers, (well, it makes life easier for 
everyone), so I think that a clean, more or less standard structure 
for everyone here is preferable. At least we have the same base.
Example, I didn't include the /sbin folder, eventhough I have one. 
Let's not confuse the beginers by some little details like that.

Bug: none whatsoever, BUT I DO know that my bubble help routine is not 
perfect because it uses 2 line-a calls, booooh, I know, but since I 
don't know how to simply use the vdi, I had to use that, I know, I am 
bad, however it showed that it worked everywhere on a lot of 
hardware/OS, so it is not THAT BAD.

As for, WHY DIDN'T you use bubbleGEM?????
Well, I would answer, some stupid things, like 
1) I don't know how to access bubbleGEM from GFA basic, 
WHAT???? GFA BASIC , well yes. sorry guys, I am NO programer, but 
at least I do something ;)
I know some excellent C programers that don't do NOTHING, so I much 
prefer beeing a lousy GFA coder but productive than a good C coder who 
doesn't do nothing :) 
Is that a good explanation?
2) I have never liked bubbleGEM, and I don't like to rely on something 
external, that's just me. I told you I would answer something stupid.

Other bug actually: The sound system will not be reset at the correct 
frequency, so be aware.

This software WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE if you loose data on your 
harddrive or anything else that could happen.
This software is a freeware, and has been made by kellis@YesCREW.

Any comment ----> kellis@primenet.com
I would appreciate if you could find some better help bubble text, 
email me that..

PS: If anyone good in GFA wants to clean my code up, like correct 
iconify, or correct VDI calls instead of these line-a, please, ask me, 
I will give you the code.

Thanks again, Feb 14 1998. UNiC 1.3
