[comp.sys.atari.st] 1040ste 'startgem'

selick@bucsf.bu.edu (Steven Selick) (12/05/90)

Well, My 1040st is completely fried. Thanx all who sent mail. I went to 
syntronics (comm ave, Boston) and they told me the machine was toast. So
I got a 1040ste. It's really cool. Anyway, how do I do the 'startgem' on
the ste? It won't work, but I seem to remember seeing a different way of
doing the same thing.
later,

Hook it up to a couple of external speakers.  Get STEDEMO.LZH (or 
.PRG) from atari.archive.  Get STEPLAY and some good Noisetracker 
mods.  You're all set!  Show an Amiga user. ;^)

Select the program to want to autoboot.  Select Install Application 
from the Options menu, select AUTO, and save the desktop.

Quick tip: if you want the desktop to come up in medium resolution 
without the use of STE_FIX.PRG, change the 12 to 13 in the fifth line 
of DESKTOP.INF.

It should come with your language disk.  I don't even use mine; it's
just another thing in the AUTO folder.  Editing DESKTOP.INF is much 
better.
