How to run Murder with a mouse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Copy the game disk to a fresh disk - the game disk will now be your
backup disk.
2) Copy your mouse driver program to the new disk - this program will
be called MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS.
3) If your mouse driver is called MOUSE.COM, insert a new line in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file under the line that says '@echo off'. This line
should simply say 'MOUSE'. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT file should look like:
@echo off
mouse
cls
murder
4) If your mouse driver is called MOUSE.SYS, enter a new line at the
bottom of the CONFIG.SYS file so that the file looks like:
buffers=20
files=20
break=off
device=mouse.sys
5) Now you can play Murder with a mouse simply by booting this new disk.
Murder is a big game. Even though it has been compressed there is a
possibility that you won't be able to fit your mouse driver onto the
new disk. If this happens you need to boot your system using the disk
you would normally use so that your mouse driver installs itself. Then
switch to the drive containing the Murder game disk and enter 'murder'.
As an example, suppose that you normally boot from a single-sided 360K
5.25 inch floppy in drive A, and that your boot disk is set up to install
the mouse driver:
1) Place your boot disk in drive A and switch on the computer, or reset it
by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del.
2) Insert the Murder game disk in drive A and press Control-C to log the
new disk.
3) Type 'murder' and press Enter. The game should now run and be playable
with a mouse.
