--------- The TanksVIDEO Utility Version 1.1
TVIDEO instructs the TANKS game program to display its screens
and boards in color or in monochrome (green or amber). TVIDEO
also allows the player to choose one of two characters to
represent trees on the TANKS playing board, and to choose the
speed with which the game program plays its melodies and sound
effects.
To work, however, the TVIDEO utility program must reside on the
TANKS game program directory. Without the TVIDEO utility, TANKS
displays its screens and boards according to the current video
mode.
--------- Two Composite Monitor Problems
First, if the TANKS screens and boards appear illegible on your
composite monitor, use the TVIDEO utility to instruct the TANKS
game program to display its screens and boards in monochrome
mode. Remember to keep the TVIDEO utility program on the TANKS
game program directory.
Second, if the tree characters on the TANKS board are illegible,
use the TVIDEO utility to choose another character.
--------- The Fast Computer Problem
You may use the TVIDEO utility program to instruct TANKS to play
its melodies slower. In this way, the TANKS sound effects will
sound good on even the fastest 8086-compatible microprocessors.
--------- Running TVIDEO.COM
To start the TVIDEO utility program, from the Disk Operating
System (DOS), type:
d:>TVIDEO [Return]
TVIDEO will display a brief set of instructions, telling how to
change the color and tree switches, and how to set the sound-
effect playing speed.
