Quick Start Instructions for Game Hints:
Find a UHS hint file -- the place where you found this reader can tell you how
to get one (see UHS.TXT if you're on a commercial on-line service such as
CompuServe for instructions). Copy the files UHS.EXE, UHSTSR.EXE,
UHSTSRB.EXE, and your hint file into the same directory. Enter the following
DOS commands, hitting ENTER after each line, to do so.
MD C:\UHS
COPY UHS*.EXE C:\UHS
COPY *.UHS C:\UHS
C:
CD\UHS
The instructions above assume that you already have a .UHS hint file and that
it's in the same directory that you're currently using. Normally, when you
download files, the program that you use will place all downloads in the same
directory. If you can't find a .UHS hint file in the current directory, look
in your download directory, type the letter of its drive, use the CD command
to move to that directory, and then copy the hint file to your UHS directory,
as follows. Change the first two lines to match the download directory for
your communications software.
C:
CD\TAPCIS\DL
COPY *.UHS C:\UHS
Some hint files may be compressed when you receive them; if so you will need
to uncompress them and repeat the previous instructions. The place where you
found your hint files should be able to tell you how to uncompress them.
Now you should be ready to start the UHS reader. If you want to get hints
while you're playing a game, use the following commands. Text in square
brackets should not be typed in, but you should follow the instructions given
in the comments.
C:
CD\UHS
UHSTSR KQ6 [replace "KQ6" with the name of the .UHS file you're using]
[start your game as described in its manual and wait until you need hints]
[then hit the ALT and ? keys at the same time for hints]
If you don't get hints when you hit ALT-?, change the third line of the above
commands to
UHSTSRB KQ6
and repeat the same five steps. If that doesn't work, you should try the DOS
prompt UHS reader. Enter these commands:
[start your game as described in its manual and wait until you need hints]
[exit the game once you need help]
C:
CD\UHS
UHS KQ6 [replace "KQ6" with the name of the .UHS file that you're using]
[get your hints, start the game again, and keep playing]
See UHS.TXT and UHSTSR.TXT for more detailed instructions on how to use these
programs.
