Greetings all! I found the funnelweb 4.0 .dsk on whtech, and noticed that there's quite a lot of files on the disk (>90k), but I also noticed I meet the minimum requires and then some, so how should I set things up for two stock TI disk drives (SSSD)? I imagine there's got to be a way to split up these files over a couple disks, and I'm sure some could be left out. I have started looking through the documentation, but I haven't come across anything about how to set things up. I'm a complete noob on FunnelWeb only having heard about it in the last few weeks, and only taking a look at the disk a couple days ago - I'm anxious to check out what the hype is about though :). Thanks for reading!

At the bottom is a yellow book called The Spiders Guide to Funnel Web Configuration. It will help you. There are tons of useful well scanned books here.

I'm on that excellent site quite often- hadn't noticed this book though. Thanks man! Jacques has kindly been giving me advice, too - hopefully I'll be up and running soon :). I might be missing the assembly files AS and AT, although, if they are the same files (AS and AT) from Harry's XB compiler, then perhaps not.

Robert,

 

While it's not advertised, clicking on the date at the bottom of the book page will open a change-log in text format. That should allow you to check periodically for any new books without having to visually scan the page.

 

New scans typically get put to the top of the page in the 'Recent Additions' section , but books that I deem non-books, or miscellaneous may go immediately to the 'Miscellaneous' section.

 

BTW, The AS & AT files on the Funnelweb disk are designed to work with the FW environment. Exiting AS/AT from within FW will return you to the FW menu. That may, or may not be the case with the two files that you mentioned from Harry's XB compiler.

Great tip! I'll have to start checking it for updates that way. :)

Good point - I hadn't considered AS and AT needing to have something to bring them back to Funnelweb - duh...

Disk image with AS & AT files from my Funnelweb directory attached.

<edit> Rant on... It really stinks that we can't attach any file to a message here, there's no good reason for having to zip it. ...Rant off.

Thanks bud - those are important! (I didn't know that about the board here as I've just been using my dropbox account, but I can't blame you for being annoyed ;) ).

I've got another question - what is EA? I thought ED and EE are the editors and AS and AT are the assmblers, so EA can't be editor assembler I would think.... :dunce:

 

Edit: and another question - if I were to chose to run FW from E/A #5, will that null FW's ability to run XB programs? (I just saw the "no XB programs" in the Spider's Guide ;) - It would be awesome if that option were available :D.

Cheers! :D
