Not only is it adapt in assisting other programs to spruce up Workbench’s interface, but it is required by some applications to actually work. MUI is one of those tools (well libs really) that is indispensable.
Installer is a handy little utility that is required to install a good many Amiga programs.ĭecompress onto the Ram disk: lha x Installer-43_3.lha Ram:įinally, move the utility over into the C: folder Copy Ram:Installer43_3/Installer C: Magic User Interface (MUI) Rename lzx_68000ec-r to lzx and copy to the C: directory: Copy Ram: lzx C: Installer Type: lha x LZX_Y2KF.LHA Ram:Ĭopy the keyfile to the L: folder: Copy Ram:lzx.keyfile L: There are a few versions floating around the internet and Aminet, the best version I have found is the Y2K patched version, complete with the keyfile.Įxtract the file contents to the Ram disk, from shell, navigate to the files location. LZX is another popular compression format used on the Amiga. An example command to extract a file inside the current directory would be: lha x some_file.lha. LHA decompression is now available on your machine from the command line. Type: lha.run Ram: // LHA will be extracted onto the Ram Disk Open the shell utility and navigate to it’s location on the hard drive Installing a lean decompression utility is as simple as: The utility that should be installed first is LHA, practically every download from aminet will be supplied in the LHA compression format. This is essentially the same process as booting AmigaOS from floppy disk.
hard drives and then install Commodore’s standard WB environment. At this point you can configure and prep. The ACA500+ comes packaged with the WB3.1 install disks in it’s ROM’s, selecting f7 at the boot menu loads up a lite version of WB. So why not take the next step and ditch those boring icons and smooth out the fonts while keeping the OS lean and more usable?Ĭlassic Workbench ( ) provide packages of very handy prebuilt Workbench installs, however for my requirements, I wanted all the eye candy while keeping the system as fast as possible. A whole new world of productivity and ease of use is opened up. What a difference a few extra MHz, a couple of megs of RAM and hard drive storage make to a standard A500.
