-
- The installation button in Chapter 18 of the

- SOUND
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- The demo's sound track may be played through
- a Sound Blaster card (DOS and OS/2), or through
- your PC's internal clicker speaker (DOS only).
-
- Because the demo uses special DMA drivers to play
- sound in the OS/2 environment, only Creative Labs
- Sound Blaster cards are fully supported. Some
- otherwise compatible sound cards will not function
- with this driver and are not recognized by the demo.
-
- For the demo to detect your Sound Blaster card,
- your AUTOEXEC.BAT file must be correctly configured
- with a SET BLASTER= environment variable. See your
- Sound Blaster manual, or call Creative Labs at
- 408-428-6622 for technical assistance.
-
- Sound is available through the PC's clicker speaker
- when running from native DOS only. OS/2 users with
- dual boot setups may want to switch over to their
- native DOS boot to hear the demo's sound track.
- (Refer to your OS/2 Installation manual for
- instructions.)
-
- You can simply press the install button in Chapter 18
- of the C++ tutorial, or you can install from the CD,
