Hi there, This is UNiC documentation.

What's UNiC?

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

unic.prg [-color] [-fly]


What does 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 directories have help).

The little speaker icon on the top right is to switch ON/OFF the sound 
effect.
***** ATTENTION ******
All previous users of UNiC should erase their old unic.inf file.

Hades owner and other machines without DMA sound, this will not work.
UNiC now looks for an environment variable called DMASOUND, set to yes 
or no. Hades user, set that to no.

example of your mint.cnf:
setenv DMASOUND no
**********************

The little button down right is to iconify UNiC.


If you RIGHT MOUSE click on the main window(tree 0), UNiC window 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
Or from mint.cnf:        setenv AVSERVER THING   (without the '=' )

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

As stated in THING/GEMINI docs, the av_protokol only works IF the flag 
is set to GLOBAL when used in MEMORY PROTECTED MODE. So just make sure 
that if you run mint in mem protected, the GLOBAL flag is set to 
UNIC.PRG



Features and bugs:

Runs from minix partition or 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 beginners, (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 beginners by some little details like that.


What's new in the latest version?

-icon has been removed
Standard iconify routine has been finally added.
CHeck for env variable DMASOUND for hades, dma less computers (avoid a 
little error on these machines)

You have to use -color first if you want to combine the arguments, 
example: 
unic.prg -color -fly
unic.prg -color 
unic.prg -fly



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.


I 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 from YesCREW.

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

Thanks again, May 18 1998. UNiC 2.6
