Apple II DeskTop
================

A2DeskTop .2mg and .hdv files are disk images containing the full
application and all accessories. The .2mg file can be transferred to a
3.5" floppy using ADTPro. The .hdv file has the same contents, just a
slightly different file format which other tools/emulators/solid state
drives prefer, and is a 32 MB image so you have plenty of space to
copy other things onto the disk.

A2DeskTop...140k_disk1.po, ...disk2.po, etc are 140k images containing
different parts of the application, and can be transferred to 5.25"
floppies using ADTPro.

Installation
------------

This is a ProDOS 8 application. It works best on a mass storage
device, or at least an 800k floppy. Running from a 140k floppy is
possible (without desk accessories) but is not recommended.

An Apple II DeskTop installation has the following structure on a mass
storage device:

* `A2.DESKTOP/` - any name is allowed, can be in any subdirectory
  * `DESKTOP.SYSTEM` - run this to launch DeskTop
  * `MODULES/` - contains parts of the application
  * `APPLE.MENU/` - contains Desk Accessories (DAs)
  * `EXTRAS/` - contains additional utilities
  * `LOCAL/` - contains files created at runtime (settings, etc)

If you are installing from floppy disks onto a hard disk, follow the
above structure as you copy files from each floppy.
