This file is to try to help you get the demo running if doesn't already. There are 2 reasons why the demo may not work : 1) Not enough memory (614k+ Base memory reqd.) 2) Enviroment string not found. 1) Our demo actually uses around 500k of base memory, but DemoVT requires quite alot of memory to decode the music, and install it's own code. If you don't have enough memory, the demo will not be able to load the first part (starts with the big red `Valhalla' scroller) (which requires the most memory) and maybe even the second. If you are using Qemm or 386Max or MemMaker you shouldn't have any troubles but if you just have a Dos 5 machine, and none of the above memory managers you will run into troubles :( To fix this, you need to make a boot disk, if you don't know how to do this here's a quick explaination : Get a formatted low or high density disk, Put it in the A: drive and type SYS A: this will transfer the system files to the disk. wait until it has finished then you need to create an AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS file. the required contents are shown below. ----------------------------- CONFIG.SYS file ------------------------------ DOS=HIGH DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE STACKS=0,0 ---------------------------- AUTOEXEC.BAT file ----------------------------- SET ULTRASND=220,1,1,11,7 PATH=C:\DOS you can either type EDIT A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT or EDIT A:\CONFIG.SYS and type in the corresponding text above, or paste them out of this file into the corresponding files. *note if you don't have a gravis ultrasound card, then don't type in the SET ULTRASND = in the autoexec.bat file. If you have a soundblaster, then you will want to replace it with a SET BLASTER = as detailed in your sound card manual. Now just reset your machine, and let it boot from the floppy drive, and voilla ! 614k of memory :) (this should give you 614k on a dos 5 machine - haven't got dos 5 to test it out with ): 2) Environment string not found You will get this error when you attempt to run the demo without having either a SET ULTRASND = or a SET BLASTER = in your AUTOEXEC.BAT if you don't know how to do this, have a look in your sound card manual for details. Well, hope this helps you get the demo running, I wish implode with give things a thorough test before he gives them to me to release :) Oh well, such is life >;-> Hope you like it, please send any bug reports to Implode :) Sandman / Valhalla
