Welcome to the Z demo from The Bitmap Brothers Z (c) The Bitmap Brothers 1996 Installation Instructions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DOS USERS To set up your sound card, type SETSOUND from the DOS prompt in the directory where you installed the demo. We strongly recommend that you use the menu items within SETSOUND to test your choices. Z incorporates a system called UniVBE which makes video cards compatible with VESA Video BIOS Extensions. This can solve display problems in SVGA mode and can provide performance improvements on many cards. However UniVBE can cause instability with some cards. Its installation defaults to AUTOMATIC which means it will only install on cards with a VESA standard of less than 1.2 If you wish to change your settings type SETVIDEO from the DOS prompt in the directory where you installed the demo. WINDOWS 95 USERS Run the SETUP program that is in the directory where you installed the demo. This will set up icons for the actual demo of Z and for SETSOUND and SETVIDEO, as detailed above. After you have done this please run the SETSOUND program to configure your sound card. Please note that the demo will not run under Windows 3.x Please quit to DOS to install and run the demo. IMPORTANT --------- If, after trying to run the Z demo, you get an error message informing you of a CRITICAL FILE MISSING, the chances are you have unzipped the game without recreating the correct directory structure. YOU MUST USE THE -d OPTION WHEN USING PKUNZIP ON *EVERY* ZIP FILE. e.g. pkunzip -d a_zdemo1.zip If you have problems with video modes, especially in SVGA, try running SETVIDEO. If you have problems with the Audio, try running SETSOUND.
