Survival Mysteries of Nature
Version CD 1.0
This CD ROM is designed to run on Archimedes and RISC PC computers which
have at least 4 megabytes of memory and a CD ROM drive. For instructions on
how to install and run this program, please consult the booklet provided with
this disc. A5000 users and those with little available memory may find the
following measures are of help:
* Quit all other applications
* Experienced users can rmkill/unplug unused modules
* Reduce the fontcache, system sprite and RAMFS areas to their minimum
sizes
If in any doubts please contact the technical helpline at the number listed
in the booklet.
Users are allowed to extract graphics from this disc to use in
their own work so long as it is not sold for gain or used outside the
purchasing school. The video clips and sound samples must NOT be extracted
from this CD ROM or run from any other medium unless you have the necessary
site licence. Full details of copyright are given on the printed booklet
supplied with the disc.
ACTIVITY SHEETS
The 'ACTSHTS' directory on the floppy disk contains a number of activity
sheets which can be used in conjunction with the Survival Mysteries of Nature
CD ROM. Please consult the booklet for instructions.
ON-LINE SUPPORT
Anglia Multimedia's On-Line services provide all disc users with extra
learning materials linked to its discs. This is available on the World Wide
Web at http://www.anglia.co.uk. A more comprehensive learning service is
provided by Education Anglia, to be found on AOL UK (America On-Line). Log
on to your AOL site and use the keyword facility and the word ANGLIA for
quick access. There is also a Survival site on AOL; keyword SURVIVAL.
SAVE STATUS MULTIUSER/MULTIPLATFORM APPLICATIONS
For details of the use of the save status and resume feature, please
consult the booklet provided with this disc.
By default the program saves a file named RESUME.KAS within the Extras
folder. (Assuming that the Extras folder is called '!Mystery+', the
file resides at '!Mystery+.Scripts.Status0.Resume'). This file is
automatically reloaded if the user chooses to 'Resume from Previous
Session' when re-running the disc.
The Resume file and other status files located within the
'!Mystery+.Scripts.Status' directory are listed in the 'Load Status' menu.
Status files from elsewhere are loaded by dragging them onto the program's
main window.
When used in a classroom environment, it may be preferable to instruct
each user to save their own individually named status file before leaving
the disc. By saving an individual status file each user can return to
their previous session by explicitly loading their status file. Status
files may be saved within the default directory on the system hard disc
or to a floppy disk.
Status files are cross-platform. If you also have the Windows MPC version
of this disc you can interchange status files between computers as follows:
MPC to Acorn:
1. Run this CD ROM on your MPC.
2. Save your current status to an MSDOS format floppy disc.
3. Remove the .KAS extension from the status file or save it as an Acorn
status file (selected from the 'Save file as Type: menu').
4. Run the Acorn version of the CD ROM on an Acorn RISCOS computer.
Drag the status file from the MSDOS floppy disc onto the program's
main window.
5. The Acorn disc should return to the same place and with the same
status as the MPC version you were running.
Acorn to MPC:
1. Run the Acorn version of the CD ROM on an Acorn RISCOS computer.
2. Save your status to an MSDOS format floppy disc.
3. Run this CDROM on your MPC.
4. Load the status file from the DOS format floppy disc (select
'Acorn Status File in the 'List files of Type:' Menu).
5. The MPC should return to the same place with the same status
as the Acorn version you were running.
