SIERRA FAMILY DEMONSTRATION CD-ROM VERSION 2.0 8/1/93
Although this demo was designed to be run from the menu system
provided on the CD, it is also a standalone runnable product.
Simply type DEMO from within this subdirectory.
If you have not originally configured this product, you will
enter the Install program to configure the demo. This will
create a file in the directory C:\SIERRA\DEMOCD. This directory
MUST exist on your hard drive for Install to work properly. This
directory is created the first time you run the DEMO Menu System
(by typing DEMO from the root directory of this CD-ROM.)
Alternately, you can create the C:\SIERRA\DEMOCD subdirectory
manually.
Once configured, typing DEMO will start the demo program. To
make any subsequent changes to the configuration, type INSTALL
from within this demo subdirectory.
DIGITAL AUDIO PROBLEMS (Gaps or drop outs in the speech)
All the audio is 11k or 22k 16-bit. Large amounts of data
is required to be read off the disk and passed to the sound
card. If you have problems with the sound breaking up
or having gaps during play there are a few things you can
change to optimize the performance.
Before installing, optimize/unfragment your hard disk. A
fragmented hard disk can break the audio files into pieces
that can't be read fast enough by the system.
In the file "c:\sierra\democd\paitdemo.cfg" there is a line:
AudioSize = 12k
This is the audio buffering size. You can increase this
number which will make the system read larger chunks of
audio at a time. This should decrease the gaps or drop
outs. However, by increasing this number the available
memory to run the game will decrease and the amount of
memory needed to run the Demo will increase. Experiment
with various numbers to find what works best.
