The Return To Zork
by Infocom
Sneak Preview
Copyright 1993 by Activision
To watch this preview, run one of these batch files:
ZORKMT32.BAT Selects the Roland MT32 for music.
ZORKADLB.BAT Selects AdLib and compatables for music.
ZORKPC.BAT Selects the PC Speaker for music.
First, you will be asked to select and configure a sound device for playack
of digitzed audio. Highlight the name of the sound device installed in your
computer then press 'C' to configure it. Press ENTER when you are ready.
The setup program will detect a SoundBlaster if you have one, but you will
still need to select and configure the software for it. If you have a
MEDIAVISION Pro Audio or Pro Audio 16 card, we recommend you use the
appropiate driver and NOT use SoundBlaster compatable mode.
Use the ESC key to exit the preview.
We hope you enjoy this sneak preview of Return to Zork which will be
available in mid-summer.

Edit the appropiate batch file (ZORKMT32.BAT, ZORKADLB.BAT, or
