Startup Configuration

In order to get AmiExpress work perfectly you have to add the following things at your User-StartUp or Startup-equence file in the S: directory:

   ASSIGN BBS: SYS:BBS
   PATH BBS:UTILS ADD

NOTE*

Since version 3.38 of AmiExpress you now have the ability to make AmiExpress resident. Doing this should speed up program execution and also conserve memory.

Making AmiExpress resident:

1. change all nodestart tooltypes in the NODE icons to reflect the following:

     NODESTART=express

2. Update your s:User-StartUp script by adding the following after your BBS Assignment:

     RESIDENT EXPRESS BBS:EXPRESS

Now to start the ACP.SERVER you should copy the ACP & ACP.INFO FILE into the WBSTARTUP directory at your HardDisk directory.

You can also start ACP from a shell but the INFO file MUST be in the same directory as ACP to have the correct settings.

The above mentioned ASSIGN statement indicates that you have your BBS installed in a directory called BBS on the system drive.

Once all of this is complete you should be able to reset your system.

NOTE: You should have a BBS:UTILS directory. Use this directory to put all AmiExpress required Utils.
