Information about PC Underground Dear PC User Thank you for purchasing PC UNDERGROUND. We hope you enjoy experimenting with all the programs we've included on the CD-ROM. We're sure you'll learn quite a bit about 'underground' programming! The PC UNDERGROUND CD-ROM In addition to the demo programs in the DEMOS directory, you will also find some demos in the BONUS directory. The programs are meant to be a stimulus for you and give a small overview of the multifold possibilities of sound and graphics programming. All of the graphics programming examples require a 100% compatible VGA card. The sound programming examples run either on a TRULY 100% compatible SoundBlaster card or on a Gravis Ultrasound card. To use all the programs and source texts, first copy them to a directory on your hard drive, then use the MS-DOS Attrib command to clear the Read-Only file attribute. e.g.,: Attrib -r *.* Files And Directories On The Companion CD-ROM The directories included on the companion CD-ROM are in the file called CD_DIR.TXT.

SPEAKER Programs related to porgramming your PC Speaker. TRAINER Source code for a trainer for the included RAIDER game. We have also added a Windows program called ACROREAD.EXE. Run this program and it will install Adobe's Acrobat Reader program. You will then be able to see all the files in the ABACUS directory with the .PDF file extensions. Installing Acrobat Reader Follow these steps to install Acrobat Reader 2.0 on your hard drive (Installation requires approximately 2 Meg of free hard drive space). Insert the CD-ROM in your drive and load Windows. From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu. Next, type the following: [drive]:\acroread.exe and press <Enter> Then simply follow the instructions and prompts which appear on your screen. Double click the Acrobat Reader icon to load it. After the Acrobat Reader is loaded, go to File/Open... and select MAIN.PDF to view/read the book. Thanks again from the Abacus Editorial and Technical Staffs A Note About Shareware, Freeware and Public Domain Software The shareware concept allows small software companies and program authors to introduce the application programs they have developed to a wider audience. The programs can be freely distributed and tested for a specific time period before you have to register them. Registration involves paying registration fees, which make you a licensed user of the program. Check the documentation or the program itself for the amount of registration fee and the address where you send the registration form. After registration you will frequently get the current full version of the program without restrictions and shareware notes as well as the option of purchasing upgraded versions later for a reduced price. As a rule, larger applications include a users manual. Shareware programs usually feature the complete performance range of the full versions. Some programs use special messages to indicate they're shareware versions. The message usually appears immediately after program startup or can be called from the Help menu.
