Documentation updates for HENRIETTA's BOOK of SPELLS V2.5D
==========================================================
Sound Card Support
==================
This program supports most popular sound cards and will give you extensive
music, speech and sound effects. If you do not yet have a sound card,
limited support is available via your PC's internal speaker.
It is very easy to setup the HENRIETTA's BOOK of SPELLS demo to work with
your computer. Before running the program for the first time, type
SSETUP at the DOS prompt (usually C:\LANDER\BOSDEMO>) and then press
<Enter>. SSETUP then detects the sound hardware installed in your
computer, or you can select from a list provided. Full on-screen
instructions are given.
Sound card notes:
1. Your card may be compatible with more than one of the listed
cards. The most powerful compatible card will normally be selected
automatically.
2. Should SSETUP fail to identify a suitable card, make your selection
manually. If you have one which is not listed, select a
compatible one.
3. Cards which support both digitized effects and synthesized music
can sometimes cause a computer to 'slow down' when both features
are in simultaneous use. If this is a problem, disable either
music or speech (see Troubleshooting below).
4. If you change your sound card (or install one for the first time),
you must use SSETUP again.
NB: Users of the Gravis Ultrasound card must load the Sound Blaster
emulation utility (SBOS) before running either SSETUP or HENRIETTA's
BOOK of SPELLS demo.
Use with languages other than English
=====================================
When using the program for a language other than English, you
will find it helpful to mark each key <F5> to <F10> with the
appropriate, accented character. Press <F3> at any game screen
to display the current setting.
Note that this version of the program only supports French,
German, Italian and Spanish in this way.
Troubleshooting
===============
When the program loads it will try automatically to detect various
features available on your system. If the program does not find a
feature which it requires, it will not run. On certain systems however,
the program may not be able to detect a given feature - even although
it is present. If the program does not work on your machine, try
starting it in one of the ways detailed below:
type SPELLS /S then press <Enter> to bypass sound card checking
type SPELLS /T then press <Enter> to bypass music driver loading
type SPELLS /U then press <Enter> to bypass speech driver loading
type SPELLS /V then press <Enter> to bypass video display checking
type SPELLS /P then press <Enter> to bypass processor checking
