===GETTING STARTED====================================================== This section covers everything you need to know to set up and start 3-D Body Adventure on your computer. What do I need? To run 3-D Body Adventure, you will need the following: - An IBM(r) or compatible computer. A 386 processor is required, but a 486 processor is recommended. - A color VGA or SVGA monitor. - A CD-ROM drive that supports ISO 9660. - A hard disk with at least four megabytes of available disk space. - Approximately 520 kilobytes of available RAM. - A mouse (recommended); the software can also be run using the keyboard alone. - A sound device is required so that you can hear high-quality digitized sounds. - A printer (optional) so that you can print 3-D Body Adventure text files; any printer that can accept ASCII text directly from your computer port will work. - The original 3-D Body Adventure compact disk. How do I install the program? Follow these steps to install 3-D Body Adventure on your system: 1. Insert the 3-D Body Adventure compact disc into your CD-ROM drive and switch to that drive. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is F, type: F: and press 2. Type: INSTALL and press 3. Follow the messages on the screen until the installation is complete. The Install program will ask you where on your hard drive you'd like to store the appropriate 3-D Body Adventure files, what sound device you have, and whether or not you'd like to run under Microsoft Windows(r). If necessary, your CONFIG.SYS file will be altered so that FILES=20 or greater and your original CONFIG.SYS file will be saved to CONFIG.BKA. You will also be asked to decide how much disk space 3-D Body Adventure will take up on your hard drive. The more 3-D Body Adventure files you store on your hard drive, the faster the program will run. NOTE: If you have difficulty installing 3-D Body Adventure, turn to "About installation."
