You may move Aladin (Advanced Data Institute) version 2.6 to a hard disk for
use with Catalyst.
If you are using a ProFile hard disk in slot 4 with a volume name of
"/PROFILE", most of your work has been done for you by the folks at ADI. Simply
follow the installation instructions entitled "APPLE III STARTUP PROCEDURE" on
page S-10 - S-14 of the Aladin product manual. Once these steps have been
completed, follow along below.
If you are using your Catalyst with a different brand of hard disk, You must
add the device drivers of the hard disk you are using to the Aladin BOOT disk
using the System Configuration Program of your System Utilities. After this has
been done, then you may precede with the "APPLE III STARTUP PROCEDURE" in the
Aladin manual and follow along below.
COPY PROCEDURE
In addition to the automatic installation provided to you by Aladin, three
additional files must be copied to the hard disk to allow you to use Aladin
without having to insert the BOOT disk at startup. In this example, the volume
name of the hard disk is "/P". If your hard disk volume name is different,
substitute it for "/P".
1. Boot the Catalyst disk (if you haven't already).
2. From the Catalyst main menu, select the System Utilities Program.
3. Enter "F" for FILE HANDLING COMMANDS.
4. Enter "C" for COPY FILES.
5. Copy the file "SYSTEM.STARTUP" from the Aladin BOOT disk to the
subdirectory "/P/ALADIN".
To do this, type ".D1/" and press the up arrow key. A list of files are
displayed in a box. The up and down arrow keys allow you to move an inverse bar
over the name of your choice. Pressing the right arrow key marks the file so as
to include it in the copy process. Mark all files to be copied in this way.
When all files are marked, press RETURN.
6. Copy the files ALADIN3.INFO and ALADIN.CODE to "/P/=" using the procedure
above.
7. When these files have been copied, press ESCAPE.
ADDING ALADIN TO THE CATALYST MENU

2. Select the Catalyst Editor in the Catalyst main menu.
