Death and Funeral (UK) Tool (for Amiga)
A downloadable tool
Introduction
A tool for those who have recently suffered a bereavement.
It contains some steps and advice when someone passes, from the death to the funeral. It is based on UK only, and your country may handle things differently.
Requirements
Kickstart 3.0+
0.5MB free ram.
Loading and Usage
.ADF
This self-booting package contains a stripped down Workbench, some fonts, and the two main files (the EXE and the .icon). It should also work by inserting the disk into an Amiga while using Workbench 3 (or better).
Please be patient while the app loads!
You can change the font from the pull-down menu in the tool, on any page, and there are a number of Size 8 fonts included on the disk. You must click the '8' file, not the .font file.
.LHA
The LHA contains 2 files, the EXE and the icon. You should be able to just copy this tool to anywhere, and it should auto-install and run from wherever you put it. It does not need any special libraries etc. You can change the font from the pull-down menu in the tool, on any page, but there are no example fonts included with the .LHA release.
