Getting Started
****************

1. DOS 5.0 or higher

Insert the Interpose CD-ROM into your (first) CD-ROM drive. Go to
the drive and run 'INSTALL'.

Inside the installation program:
 - Choose 'OK' if the language is right, or choose 'Change language'
   to change it.
 - Choose 'Set destination directory', if you don't want to install
   the 190KB startup files in C:\TZS\INTERPOS
 - Choose 'Start installation'.

Run 'INTERPOS' to configure soundcard and play.


2. Windows '95

Choose 'Shutdown' and 'Restart in MS-DOS mode', or press F8 while
booting and choose 'Command prompt only'. (Gravis UltraSound owners
should run ultrinit.exe if Windows'95 has been started).

Insert the Interpose CD-ROM into your (first) CD-ROM drive. Go to
the drive and run 'INSTALL'.

If you don't have the CD-ROM drivers installed in DOS mode, then you
need to install them. Consult your CD-ROM drive's manual for more
information on how to do this.

Inside the installation program:
 - Choose 'OK' if the language is right, or choose 'Change language'
   to change it.
 - Choose 'Set destination directory', if you don't want to install
   the 190KB startup files in C:\TZS\INTERPOS
 - Choose 'Start installation'.

Run 'INTERPOS' to configure soundcard and play.


Trouble Shooting
*****************

In a minority of cases, Interpose may not run after installation.
The main areas in which you are likely to experience problems are:
not having enough free memory to run the game, and the sound driver
system. You may also find that the game runs, but not at the proper speed.

1. Memory problems

You need 6.2MB free memory to run the game, this require that you have
8MB installed in your computer.

If the game tells you that there is not enough free memory, you need
to free some memory which is being used elsewhere by other programs.
It's most likely that a cache program, like SMARTDRV.EXE, is occupying
some megabytes. To free memory used by SMARTDRV.EXE, you must edit
AUTOEXEC.BAT, and include a parameter after SMARTDRV.EXE like this:

SMARTDRV 512

Boot your computer again, and run the game.

2. Sound system problems

Generally, sound related problems will manifest themselves as the sound
not playing, the sound stopping for no apparent reason during play or in
the worst case the game will crash.

Dealing with the worst problem first, if the game is crashing then it is
highly likely that the soundcard's DMA setting is incorrect. Run setsound
and through trial and error select the other available DMA settings one
at a time and try running the game with them.

If the game runs but there is no sound playing, the likely cause is an
incorrect soundcard base port address. The sound will not play because
the game doesn't know where to find the soundcard in the machine. Try
using the other settings and re-running the game to see if this solves
the problem.

Lastly, if you find that the in-game sound suddenly stops and does
not recover, then the problem is likely to be an incorrect soundcard IRQ
setting. Again, run setsound and through trial and error try running the
game using some of the other settings available. If your initial IRQ setting
was 7, try a setting of 5 before trying any of the others.

3. Game speed issues

You may find that when playing it will slow down in odd places. This
will be due to your machine not being able to cope with the game
configuration you have selected, i.e. your machine does not really have
the power to do what you are asking of it.

There are two possibilities dealing with slowdowns:

(a) Change the music quality
If the game slow down on a few occasions only, then you can try changing
the music quality (run setsound).

(b) Change the graphics quality
High quality requires a fast graphics card and at least a 486-100Mhz. If
you experience frequent slowdowns, then change the quality in the options
to Medium or Low.
