WORLD29 FROM WINDOWS
WORLD29 can be run from Windows using the file manager and clicking
on the file WORLD29.EXE. It can be configured to fully utilize your EGA or VGA
by clicking on the file CREATOR.EXE and following the instructions about
CREATOR below.
To set the program up to have its own Program Group and Icons
requires only a few steps outlined below.
From the Program Manager select FILE. Now select NEW. Click on new
Program Group then OK. Give it a description such as Geography Program and a
Group File name such as WORLD29.
Now open the FILE MANAGER. Select FILE. Select Create Directory. Name
the directory WORLD29. If the diskette with the WORLD29 programs is in the A:
drive, click on the A drive icon. Move the window so you can see both the new
directory you created and the A:\. DRAG the A:\ to the WORLD29 directory
icon. Answer Yes to the ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO COPY ... question. This will
copy all of the necessary files from the diskette to the hard drive and into
the directory you created. Now close the window for the A drive and open the
new directory.
Position the windows so you can see both the WORLD29.EXE and the new
WORLD29 program group. Drag WORLD29.EXE to the new program group. Drag
CREATOR.EXE to the new program group. As you release the mouse button the new
icon will appear. Although the icon looks the same for each program it will
function the same as your other icons. When you double click on WORLD29 your
computer will switch to DOS mode and run WORLD29. When you leave WORLD29 with
the 99 exit and the ENTER key you will be returned to WINDOWS.
To take FULL advantage of the EGA/VGA monitor you are probably using
with Windows you should run the CREATOR program one time to set up a new
configuration for WORLD29. Double click on the CREATOR icon. The computer
will shift to DOS and run the program. You will see a menu of choices. Type
the letter W and hit ENTER to create a new WORLD.CNF file. Type the letter V
in response to the first question. In response to the following questions
simply hit the ENTER key UNTIL you see "is this ok?". Respond to this with
the letter Y and hit the ENTER. This will create a new configuration file
which sets the colors and some wording for the program. When you next run
WORLD29 you will see more colors and better maps.
