README.AUD 06/01/93
=================================================================
This README file contains information about additional sound card
drivers available from WordPerfect. You must have a sound card
and select a sound card driver in order to use WordPerfect's sound
capabilities.
Sound cards are listed below, along with the name of the .ARS
file and .COM file(s) necessary to support them. Each sound card
requires a sound driver (a .COM file written specifically for that
card) and VMP.COM, in addition to the .ARS file which you select
inside WordPerfect. For example, if you have a Yamaha TG100, you
would need VAPITG.COM, VMP.COM, and TG.ARS.
Before selecting a sound card, make sure the .ARS and .COM files
have been installed into the same directory where you installed
WordPerfect. The WordPerfect program will find these files and
automatically display the menu choices associated with the sound
card driver in the Sound Card Type dialog box.
INSTALLING SOUND CARD DRIVERS
=================================================================
To install sound card drivers,
1 If you have not already done so, exit WordPerfect.
2 Insert the disk entitled Install 1 into the A: (or B:)
drive.
3 From a DOS prompt, type A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL), and
press Enter.
4 Answer the first prompt about color display, then choose
option 5, Update.
5 Answer the prompts until you reach the Install: Update help
screen, then choose option 2, Other.
6 Follow the prompts until you have installed the sound card
drivers.
You can delete any .ARS and .COM files that do not pertain to
your hardware to conserve disk space. However, do not delete
VMP.COM, since it is necessary for the other .COM files to run.
After you have installed sound card drivers, you must select a
sound card. See SELECTING A SOUND CARD below for details.
SELECTING A SOUND CARD
=================================================================
To select a sound card,
1 Choose Sound Clip from the Tools menu, then choose Sound
Setup.
2 Choose Type.
3 Highlight the correct sound device, then choose Select.
4 Choose Hardware Setup and change any settings as necessary.
Choose OK when finished.
5 Choose Close until you return to the main screen.

*Due to memory restrictions associated with the Compaq Business
Audio card, it is recommended that you load this sound card
driver externally (outside of WordPerfect). Please see LOADING A
SOUND DRIVER EXTERNALLY below for more information.
LOADING SOUND DRIVERS INTO HIGH MEMORY
=================================================================
If you need more memory to run WordPerfect, you can load sound
drivers into high memory using a memory manager. These drivers
must be loaded into high memory before starting WordPerfect. You
can automatically load sound drivers each time you turn on your
computer by placing the commands for loading a sound driver
externally in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (see LOADING A SOUND DRIVER
EXTERNALLY below).
For more information on loading your sound drivers into high
memory, see your memory manager manual. For more information on
editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, see your DOS manual.
LOADING A SOUND DRIVER EXTERNALLY
=================================================================
All sound drivers can be loaded externally (outside of
WordPerfect), if necessary. To load sound drivers externally,
1 Change to the directory containing WordPerfect by typing
CD C:\WP60 (or the correct name of the directory where
you installed WordPerfect), then press Enter.
2 If using an AAPI driver, type VAPINUL, then press Enter.
3 Type the name of the .COM file that corresponds with your
sound card, followed by /IRQ:x /ADDR:x (where x is the
Interrupt Request Level first and the Base Address
(Hexadecimal) second), then press Enter.
For example, if you have the Sound Blaster card, type
TAPISB.COM /IRQ:7 /ADDR:220, then press Enter.
4 Type VMP, then press Enter.
5 Type WP to start WordPerfect
After you have loaded the sound driver externally, be sure to
select the corresponding driver from within WordPerfect.
WordPerfect will recognize that the drivers have been loaded and
will not try to load them again. See the steps under SELECTING A
SOUND CARD above for details.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
=================================================================
If you've changed the factory default settings of your sound
card, change the settings in WordPerfect to match. You will
receive a hardware error if your WordPerfect settings don't match
your sound card settings.
When listening to a sound clip, you must have a card that
supports the sample rate of the recorded clip. For example, if a
sound clip was recorded at a sample rate of 44.1kHz, it cannot be
played with a card that only supports up to 11kHz.
