ThinkTank Manual

MOVE, ThinkTank will forget about it by the time it actually moves the outline.

GETTING STARTED

Configuring ThinkTank to Your Computer System

You use ThinkTank’s FILES command to create a new outline or examine an existing one. The procedures, which are

described under FILES, NEW, and EXISTS in the reference guide, depend on the number and type of disk drives you have. If ThinkTank is incorrectly configured to your computer system,

you can reconfigure it with the UTILITIES/DISK command.

But you aren’t required to be configured correctly. You may choose a different configuration so long as you don’t tell ThinkTank to do something impossible —— like open an outline on a nonexistent disk drive. For example, suppose you are configured for three floppy disk drives but have to take one in for service. There’s no need to reconfigure, so long as you avoid selecting the missing drive.

Choosing the Size of Your Floppy—Disk Outlines

You can also use a fictitious configuration to choose the size of your floppy disk outlines.

If you have a floppy disk computer system, you know that you can only store one outline on a floppy disk. ThinkTank won’t let you store a second outline on a disk without erasing the first. But what if you have two (or more) small outlines that you’d like to put on a single disk? You know they’d fit —— if only ThinkTank would let you do it!

Actually, it will. ThinkTank allows users with hard disk systems to choose the size of their outline files; it doesn’t limit the number of outlines they can store on a disk. If you “fool” ThinkTank into thinking you have a hard disk, you can choose where to store each outline and how big the file should be.
