- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- BocaSoft WipeOut is a 32 bit screen saver for OS/2 featuring numerous
- animated displays integrated with digital audio, password protection, screen
- capture, randomizer, and on-line help. A developer kit is included that
- allows the development of new savers. WipeOut also provides support for IBM
- Ultimotion and Intel Indeo full motion video.
-
- BocaSoft WipeOut requires OS/2 Version 2, a 3.5" floppy disk drive and 2 MB
- of disk space. Digital audio or video require MMPM/2, which is included with
- OS/2 2.1, and a supported audio card.
-
- The software has been tested under OS/2 2.0 with MMPM/2 1.0 in addition
- to OS/2 2.1 with MMPM/2 1.1. A variety of screen resolutions such as 640x480,
- 800x600, and 1024x768 have been tested. All currently supported audio cards
- have been tested including the IBM M-AUDIO, Sound Blaster and Media Vision
- Pro-Audio Spectrum.
-
- DEMO USERS
- ----------
- Demo users can now use audio and the video screen saver. No .wav files are
- supplied with the demo. You can configure the program to use MMPM/2 .wav files
- or any others that you might have. Go into the global setup dialog and select
- the Settings push button. In the entry field for the selected saver you should
- type the full path name of the .wav file to be used, or move the .wav file to
- the WipeOut directory.
-
- NOTES
- -----
-
- 1. WipeOut does not currently support automatic time-out for full screen DOS,
- OS/2 or WIN-OS/2 sessions. All programs run on the OS/2 desktop in
- seamless WIN-OS/2, windowed DOS and windowed OS/2 sessions are supported.
-
- 2. If you have removed the current directory (.) from your LIBPATH statement
- in config.sys problems occur with accessing wipeout library files.
-
- 3. A know problem in the IBM SVGA driver causes font distortion in the
- billboard and message shuttle savers.
-
- 4. The Ultimotion video portion of MMPM/2 must be installed to run the video
- screen saver.
-
- 5. MMPM/2 subsystem problems may cause WipeOut to lose audio is some cases.
- If this occurs WipeOut should be restarted.
-
- 6. In some cases the video subsystem can exhibit a variety of problems
- including traps or system hangs. An patch to the MMPM/2 1.1 release for
- video is available from IBM for these problems.
-
- 7. The rotate saver can not operate on OS/2 Version 2.0, it will not be loaded
- and will not appear in the saver list box.
-
- 8. When running WipeOut on OS/2 Version 2.0, some applications may exit
- abnormally. To alleviate this problem start WipeOut with a /H parameter.
-
- 9. Ultimotion videos do not appear correct in 16 color mode, such as VGA.
-
- 10. Currently only 16 color bitmaps are supported for the display bitmap and
- billboard savers.
