DOS README file for "All Night Long"
Version 1.0
Copyright 1994 XCD Entertainment, Inc. All rights reserved.

// Welcome to All Night Long //

INSTALLATION:
You do not need to install this program on your hard drive to run
it--it runs directly from the CD-ROM.
You can get up and running fast by simply changing to your CD-ROM drive,
changing to this directory (\PROGRAM), and running the ALLNIGHT program. For
example, if your CD-ROM is installed on your D: drive, you would use the
following commands:
D:
CD \PROGRAM
ALLNIGHT
Be sure to press ENTER or RETURN after each line, use spaces
only where shown, and to use the correct "\" key.
That's it! -- Enjoy!
However, if you want to install it on your hard disk, you can run
the INSTALL batch file. Do this by running the INSTALL batch file
in the root directory of the CD and using the CD drive name as the
first argument and the drive you want to install to as the second
argument. For instance, if your CD-ROM drive is D: and you want to
install to your C: drive, you would type:
D:\INSTALL D: C:
and press RETURN or ENTER. From then on, following this example,
you would run the program by going to your C: drive, changing to the
ALLNIGHT directory, and typing ALLNIGHT and pressing RETURN or ENTER.
Installing to your hard drive may speed up the program slightly.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
USING THE PROGRAM:
This program is easy to use. You are first asked if you are 18 years
old or older. Move the selection rectangle with the arrow keys to
the appropriate response and press RETURN or ENTER (or press "Y" for
"Yes" or "N" for "No"). You are then presented with the title
screen which will disappear after several seconds, or you may press
the Escape (ESC) key to shorten the delay.
Next you are presented with the main screen which consists of 9 series.
You may press Escape (ESC) to quit the program at this point, or
you may move the red selection rectangle (using the arrow keys) to
the series you want to see and press the ENTER or RETURN key.
Upon selecting a series, you will be shown the first thumbnail screen for
the series selected. Additional thumbnails can be viewed by pressing
the Page Up (PgUp) or Page Down (PgDn) keys. From this point, you may press
Escape (ESC) to return to the main screen, press the F1 key to view a slide
show of all of the images for the current series, or you may select a single
picture to view by moving the red selection rectangle to the desired picture
and pressing RETURN or ENTER.
If you chose the slide show, you will be shown each picture of the series,
one after the other, with a pause between each picture. You may press
the space bar during this slide show to skip from a picture to the next
without waiting for the delay, and you may abort the slide show at any
time by pressing the Escape (ESC) key. Once each picture of the set has
been shown, the program repeat the slide show until the Escape (ESC) key
is pressed.
If you chose to display a single image (by moving the rectangle and
ENTER or RETURN), then the picture you choose will be displayed full-size.
After the image is displayed, the following key commands are available:
+ or = Zoom-in (magnify view). The equals (=) key is allowed
so that you don't have to press shift to zoom in.
- or _ Zoom-out (shrink view). The underscore (_) key is
allowed so that it will work even if you have the shift
key pressed.
[Up Arrow] Move (pan) up the image (same scale).
[Down Arrow] Move (pan) down the image (same scale).
[Left Arrow] Move (pan) left on the image (same scale).
[Right Arrow] Move (pan) right on the image (same scale).
[SPACEBAR] Go back to a full-screen view of the image. This is
the view which the image is first displayed in.
[ESC] Stop viewing the image and return to the thumbnail
screen.
Note: To perform the scrolling and panning operations, the program will
try to use a buffer in conventional RAM. If there is not enough free
conventional RAM, then the image will be reloaded from the CD after
a zoom or pan key is pressed. This will result in a slower response
time. To improve your speed, be sure to have as much free RAM as
possible before starting this program.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
To use this program with DOS, you should have a VGA or Super VGA
compatible video card which can display 8-bit color (256 colors).
This program relies on VESA Video BIOS Extension (VBE) Version 1.0 (or
better) support from your video card. Most cards have this capability
built in and some provide it through a TSR which you must install.
If you experience color display problems, Please contact your video board
manufacturer to see if newer TSR software is available.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
The most common problem is the video card does not fully support VESA.
The sub-directory DRIVERS has some drivers for common cards. If the program
does not display the images correctly, you should run the driver for your
video card before running the program. If that still does not work, the
driver UNIVBE.EXE should.
