Release Notes for Tony La Russa Baseball 3 v. 1.2
11/03/95
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
* The patch is no longer processor specific, and is designed to work
with 386 computers and up
* You MUST still have the Tony 3 game CD in your CD-ROM drive in order
to play the game. The game will NOT run unless the game CD is in the
CD-ROM drive.
How to install and use these patch disks:
1) Insert Disk #2 of the set into your floppy drive, then go to your
C:\TONY3 prompt. Type "copy a: unzip.exe" and hit your <ENTER> key.
Most floppy drives are designated as "a:", however if a: is an
incorrect drive specification for your floppy drive, please substitute
in the correct drive specification.
2) When you have unzip.exe copied, from your C:\TONY3 directory type,
"unzip a:tony3new.zip" and hit your <ENTER> key. This will begin the
process of unzipping the patch file. You may be asked if you want to
overwrite the existing Tony 3 files; type "A" for all and hit your
<ENTER> key.
3) When the files have been unzipped, from your C:\TONY3 directory type,
"setup" and hit your <ENTER> key. This will put you into the main
screen of the TLRB3 setup program. Go completely through the setup
program, including the joystick calibration.
4) When you have completed the entire setup program, from your C:\TONY3
directory type, "tony3" to begin the game.

There are also numerous other areas of the game's code that have been
adjusted to improve gameplay.
If the game has problems finding your CD-ROM drive, you can pass the drive
letter of your CD-ROM drive as a argument to TONY3. For example, if your
CD-ROM drive is E: then type TONY3 E at the DOS prompt.
ATTENTION WINDOWS '95 USERS!!!
If you have Windows '95 installed on your computer and have experienced
problems when running Tony 3, please note that this patch should eliminate
those difficulties when used in the manner described below.
In order for Tony 3 to run correctly on a Win '95 machine, you should run the
game from the MS-DOS mode. Do NOT run the game from the desktop, as this may
cause the game to crash or lock-up.
To run Tony 3 from the MS-DOS mode, click on the "shut down" button in the
bottom left-hand corner of your Windows '95 desktop, then select the "Restart
the computer in MS-DOS mode" option. Your computer should now restart itself
in the MS-DOS mode of Win '95.
New features:
The "Copy Announcer" feature
Three utilities called COPYLON, COPYHANK, COPYMEL have been provided to copy
the play by play portion of the announcer voice from the CD-ROM to your hard
drive. Each announcer requires approximately 22 Meg of disk space. To use
this new feature:
1) Insert your Tony La Russa 3 Game Disk into the CD-ROM.
2) Go to the directory where you have installed the game; the default
directory is C:\TONY3.
3) For each announcer you want to copy to your hard drive, run the
appropriate utility. For example, to copy Hank Greenwald to your hard
drive type "COPYHANK" and then hit your <ENTER> key.
The utility will now copy the play by play section into a directory named
SNDS30 on your hard drive.
The "Delete Player" function
This function will allow you to delete a player entirely. To use this new
feature:
1) Put the player on the reserve list using the "Player Roster" screen or
"Pitching Staff" screen.
2) Go to the "Edit Player Stats" screen.
3) Change the player's LAST NAME to the name "EMPTY" and click on DONE.
The player will now be deleted from the team.
