===LATE-BREAKING NEWS======================================================

This "README" file has some additional information and late-breaking news
that could not make the manual as well as some important pieces of
technical information.

MEMORY REQUIREMENTS. 3-D BODY ADVENTURE requires approximately 520KB of
RAM in order to run.  Even when there is adequate total RAM to run the
program, there may be conflicts with other programs occupying memory.  If
you experience difficulty in running 3-D BODY ADVENTURE under these
circumstances, please remove other memory resident programs from memory.
In MS-DOS versions 5.0 and above type "MEM /C | MORE" to see what programs
and drivers are loaded in memory.  To verify the RAM available, check the
next screen for "Largest executable program size" parameter in K.
In MS-DOS version 6.0 and above try running the MEMMAKER program to free 
more conventional RAM. For more information about conventional memory and 
memory management please consult your DOS manual.

RUNNING FROM WINDOWS.  To avoid possible complications under the Windows
environment, clicking on the 3-D BODY ADVENTURE icon will actually shut
down Windows, run 3-D BODY ADVENTURE, then re-start Windows on exit from
3-D BODY ADVENTURE.  You may get a message saying, "Application still
active. Quit the application before quitting Windows." Switch to any other
running DOS applications and exit them normally, then click on the 3-D BODY
ADVENTURE icon again.  If you have Windows applications already running,
they will be shut down and you will be asked to save any unsaved data.

UPGRADING YOUR SOUND DEVICE.  The "Set Sound Volume" selection in the
Knowledge Adventure Menu System is specifically designed for your
Packard Bell system.  This feature may not function with other sound
devices.  But, you may use the software that comes with your new sound
device to control volume levels.

ALT-S/ALT-M. These keys will toggle sound and music (respectively) off and
on, this feature is not functional in the Emergency Game.

FULL SCREEN TEXT.  In the reference section, text can be zoomed to full
screen.  The zoom button is located in the middle of the scroll buttons
beneath the text area.  To exit the full screen text, click on the zoom
button, or click on the image icon, or press the escape key.

LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK COMPUTER DISPLAYS. 3-D BODY ADVENTURE requires a color VGA
monitor to display its high-resolution images.  It will not work on the
internal plasma or LCD monitors on laptop PCs.  Most laptops, however,
have a connector for an external monitor, and 3-D BODY ADVENTURE will work
fine with your laptop hooked to an external VGA monitor.  3-D BODY
ADVENTURE will run fine on certain laptop screens, such as the Toshiba
4400SXC, COMPAQ LTE's and the PC BRAND NB 486slc which have 256 shades of
grey or color screens.  The only problem will be that the right edge of
the screen will be slightly cut off.  This is due to the fact that 
3-D BODY ADVENTURE runs in the extra high resolution VGA video mode of 360
x 480 pixels with 256 colors and most of the internal laptop screens can
only display 320 pixels in width.

MONO, CGA, and EGA DISPLAYS. 3-D BODY ADVENTURE requires a VGA color
monitor and therefore will not run on these monitors.

MOUSE SUPPORT. 3-D BODY ADVENTURE takes great advantage of your mouse if
you have one, but it does not require one.  There are keyboard equivalents
which will allow you to enjoy the product without a mouse.  Refer to
"Using 3-D Body Adventure" for more information.

DIGITIZING TABLETS.  Digitizing tablets are not supported by 3-D BODY
ADVENTURE. If you are using a digitizing tablet and it is not functioning
properly, unplug the tablet, plug in a mouse, and restart 3-D BODY ADVENTURE.
Your tablet manufacturer may be able to provide a software solution to any
problems experienced.

LOW VOLUME SOUND OR MUSIC.  Sound cards that allow software volume control  
may have different volume levels for sound and music.  If you hear a 
noticable difference, you should run the volume control program that came  
with you sound card to equal out the settings.

WINMATE USERS.  3-D BODY ADVENTURE install program will not generate a
Knowledge Adventure program group and icon if you run under Winmate - even
if you said YES to the Windows question during install.  Manually add the
3-D BODY Icon to Winmate after installation is complete.

COMPAQ PROLINEA.  During INSTALL, press ENTER if you get a message stating
that you do not have a VGA system.  If you receive a similar message while
executing 3DBODY, please contact Compaq Technical Support for a patch
program that will correct this problem with some early model Prolineas.

GRAVIS ULTRASOUND.  The Gravis Ultrasound requires a large driver to load
its more realistic "wavetable" instruments to the sound card (about 50kb 
more than other sound cards requiring a total of 580 kb).  Consequently, 
you may have to free up additional memory in order to perform properly.  
If you plan to run 3-D BODY ADVENTURE from Windows please do NOT run your 
ULTRAMID or ULTRASND TSR program before entering Windows.  3-D BODY 
ADVENTURE will load and unload this program itself.  NOTE:  The Gravis
Ultrasound will not play the music/sound tests during setup.

ROLAND SOUND CARDS.  Roland sound cards have high quality music but no
digital speech capability.  You will not get digitized speech and sound
effects without an additional sound board.  If you have a second sound
card, you will have to manually edit the SoundDriver and SoundDevParams
section of the KA.CNF file.  An example setup for a Sound Blaster card
with a hardware configuration of base address 220, interrupt 5, and DMA
channel 1 would be:

     soundDevParams    : a220 i5 d1
     soundDriver       : D:\3DBODY\drivers\SBDIG.DRV
                         (where D: is your CDROM drive)

Other sound cards can be configured in a similar way, choose the correct
Driver from the following list:

ALGDIG.DRV   - Ad Lib Gold
PASDIG.DRV   - Pro AudioSpectrum/Studio 8/16 or Logitech Soundman 16
               (DMA's 0 - 3, otherwise configure for Sound Blaster)
SBPDIG.DRV   - Sound Blaster Pro

For further information on sound cards and editing the KA.CNF file, please
see "About sound and sound devices." 

If your second sound card uses the default I/O Address, you can use the 
Advanced User Options menu.

DIGISPEECH PORTABLE.  If you are using the Digispeech PortAble Sound Plus,
check the date of your BMASTER.* driver files.  If the files are dated
earlier than August, 1993, contact Digispeech or our BBS for an update.

REVEAL SOUND FX MODEL SC600.  If problems occur in Windows after returning 
from a DOS application, you may need to update your sound drivers for Windows.
To obtain these drivers, please contact Reveal at (800) 4-REVEAL, fax 
(818) 340-2379, or BBS (818) 704-6321.

PC SPEAKER. The PC Speaker is not supported in 3-D BODY ADVENTURE CD-ROM.
