Girlfriend Demo
Oct 1992
******************************************************************************
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
******************************************************************************
This demo program requires some of the same sophisticated software used in
our real programs to handle the VGA graphics and voice files. Therefore, the
minimum system requirements are: 80286 10MHz, 640K RAM, VGA, and 650K of hard
disk space for the demo without voice narration, and an additional 450K for
voice narration, if desired.
******************************************************************************
EXISTING GIRLFRIEND SOFTWARE
******************************************************************************
This demo program will not interfere with any full-blown GIRLFRIEND system you
may have currently installed, even though the demo can use the same directory
as you are using for GIRLFRIEND.
******************************************************************************
POSSIBLE FORMATS FOR THIS DEMO
******************************************************************************
This demo package comes in several different forms:
PKZip format without voice narration GFDemo .ZIP
PKZip format voice narration add-on GFDemoA.ZIP
PKZip format with voice narration included GFDemoV.ZIP
LHArc format with voice narration included GFDemoV.LZH
Typically, the PKZip format demos are found on BBSes and CompuServe, and the
LHArc versions are acquired via mail order directly from us.
******************************************************************************
HOW TO INSTALL - PKZIP VERSION
******************************************************************************
If you have downloaded this program in a PKZip format, just PKUnzip the archive
file and you can start the demo with the GFDEMO command. You can add the voice
narration at any time in the future, but you will have to add a DEVICE state-
ment to your CONFIG.SYS. See instructions below for that. (When you overwrite
the GFSCR.DAT file with the voice narration add-on, it activates the voice.)
******************************************************************************
HOW TO INSTALL - LHARC VERSION
******************************************************************************
If you have received this demo on diskette, there is a simple INSTALL batch
file which you can execute. However, it may be too simplistic for some users.
It contains the commands listed below. If you want a different drive
or directory, you can modify INSTALL.BAT, or simply use the manual commands
which follow. To use the INSTALL batch file, do this:
A:
INSTALL
Before you install the demo, you must first pick a drive and create a directory
where you would like the demo to reside. For example, to use your C: drive and
create a directory called GF, you would enter this command:
C:
MKDIR \GF
Then, change the default drive to your floppy disk, example:
A:
Now, to decompress the files into your C:\GF directory, use this command:
LHARC x GFDemo C:\GF\
******************************************************************************
VOICE NARRATION REQUIREMENTS
******************************************************************************
No matter whether your demo arrived in a PKZip file or an LHArc file, in order
to use voice narration, you must do the following:
Add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\GF\FSVPDD.SYS
Note: If you use a different drive or directory other than C:\GF, you must
change C:\GF in the above commands to the directory you used.
When you are finished, REBOOT your computer to activate the voice driver.
******************************************************************************
RUNNING THE DEMO
******************************************************************************
Then change your default drive back to C:, enter the GF directory, and run the
demo program. Use these commands:
C:
CD \GF
GFDemo

OTHER HELP FILES
******************************************************************************
This disk contains a file called HELP.TXT, which contains general help infor-
mation on Girlfriend, as well as release notes for the version currently in
distribution.
