■ Welcome to the Bootup Software for Sound Blaster Cards ■
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
The program uses the environmental variable SET SOUND= to find the
CT-VOICE.DRV. If you do not have the SET SOUND= variable in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT then you must have a copy of CT-VOICE.DRV that came with
your Sound Blaster in the directory where you have BOOTUP.EXE.
The command for setting the SOUND variable is as follows:
SET SOUND=<path>
Usually, setting the SOUND environment is as follows (assuming
the Sound Blaster Card files have been installed into C:):
For SBPRO:
SET SOUND=C:\SBPRO
For other Sound Blaster Cards:
SET SOUND=C:\SB
Note: There is no space before and after the = (equal) sign.
All our loadable drivers are located on the \DRV subdirectory
below the SOUND path. For example, if your SOUND environment
variable is C:\SB, the loadable drivers are located in the
C:\SB\DRV subdirectory.
The BLASTER environment string specifies the base I/O address,
interrupt and DMA channel hardware configuration of the
Sound Blaster Card. BLASTER environment reflects the current
hardware configuration of users' Sound Blaster Card.
The command for setting a BLASTER environment is as follows:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1
where:
A - specifies the base I/O port
I - specifies the interrupt request line
D - specifies the DMA channel
T - specifies the SBC card type
1 is for SB or SBMCV (default)
2 is for SBPRO
3 is for SB20
4 is for SBPRO
Note: There is no space before and after the = (equal) sign,
but there must be at least one space between two settings.
■ NOTE ■
────────
Usually, you are not required to do this. The installation
software that came with your Sound Blaster add this into
your AUTOEXEC.BAT automatically.
The two environment variables (SOUND and BLASTER) are added
into your AUTOEXEC.BAT during the software installation that
came with your Sound Blaster Card.
Some earlier versions of the software that came with your
Sound Blaster Card DO NOT support the BLASTER environment
string. It will be necessary to install these drivers
from the following steps:
To Install CT-VOICE.DRV on v1.0 Cards
1. Change directory to your Sound Blaster
files. Enter CD\SB
2. Run INST-DRV program by entering INST-DRV.
3. Specify the hardware settings
4. Hit enter to install the driver with the
new hardware settings.
5. Copy the CT-VOICE.DRV driver to the directory
where this program is installed.
■ INSTALLATION ■
────────────
Make a directory on your hard drive (default C:)
MD BOOTUP
Change to the C:\BOOTUP directory
CD\BOOTUP
Copy all files to the C:\BOOTUP directory
C:\BOOTUP> Displayed on your screen
COPY A:\*.* If diskette is locate in A: Drive
COPY B:\*.* If diskette is locate in B: Drive
If installing from a ZIP file:
UNZIP ZIP file to a Directory that contains VOC files
If starting the program from AUTOEXEC.BAT the following must be
done:
1. Change to the directory where BOOTUP.EXE resides
2. Execute BOOTUP.EXE
3. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT with any ASCII editor and
add the following lines:
EXAMPLE
@ECHO OFF
..... Your Stuff
CD\BOOTUP
BOOTUP
CD\
..... Your Stuff
■ PLAYING VOC FILES ■
─────────────────
BOOTUP.EXE must be run from the directory which Sound Blaster
Bootup was installed. Make sure VOC files are in this directory
if you wish the program to randomly select a voice file for
playing.
VOC Files can be played from command line by typing:
BOOTUP filename
BOOTUP [DRIVE & PATH] filename
EX: BOOTUP TEST
EX: BOOTUP TEST.VOC
EX: BOOTUP C:\VOCS\TEST
EX: BOOTUP C:\VOCS\TEST.VOC
NOTE: The .VOC extention is not required but will work just the
──── same.
Upper or Lower case characters accepted
If BOOTUP.EXE is executed by itself it will (randomly) select a VOC file
in the current directory to play while displaying the file name, file size,
file date and other data. The maximum number of VOC files the program
can randomly pick is 1,024 files with any file size.
OPTIONS available while playing - Exit Pause Continue Repeat
