- ^011@Overview:
-
- To begin the Hubie install program, type:
-
- ^014@INSTALL [Enter]
- The Hubie install program copies all necessary
- files to your computer. You can install Hubie to any
- directory you choose by backspacing over the default
- installation directory :
-
- ^007@C:\HUBIE
-
- And replacing it with your own, like :
-
- ^007@E:\COOL\GAMES\HUBIE
-
- After installation, the Config program is run to
- set up your sound, music and video preferences.

- ^011@Operation System Overview:
-
- Hubie is a DOS program. It has, however, been
- designed to be a 'well-behaved' program which
- can run under other Operating Environments, like
- Windows, or Operating Systems, like OS/2 or Win95.
-
- Our policy is to put a fair effort into making
- our games 'well-behaved' to help our users, and we
- encourage our users to remember :
-
- ^012@We can only offer technical assistance to those
- ^012@users running Hubie from a standard DOS prompt.
-
- \\Page
- ^009@OS/2:
-
- Hubie was developed under OS/2 2.1 & OS/2 Warp,
- so it has always been a priority to keep it stable
- under OS/2. Hubie will run in a window in the PM
- Workplace Shell, or as a full-screen application.
- Note, however, that in a window, or while switching
- between a window and full-screen, the sound may become
- scratchy or garbled, due to OS/2 not servicing the
- Sound Blaster interrupts in a timely fashion. The
- only workarounds are to keep Hubie in a full-screen
- session, or to disable sound effects.
-
- To create an icon for Hubie, drag the 'Program' icon
- from the Templates program into the folder you want
- Hubie to reside in (or onto the WorkPlace Shell). From
- the properties notebook, choose Session, click DOS Full
- Screen, and type in '*' for the command line. For the
- parameters, type in :
-
- ^007@/C C:\HUBIE\HUBIE.EXE
-
-
- where C:\HUBIE is the directory where Hubie is
- installed. Now, choose DOS Settings. Most can be
- left at their default value, but you should change
- the following:
-
- ^012 DOS_DPMI_API > Enabled
-
- ^012 SESSION_PRIORITY > 32
-
- ^012 XGA_REGS_IO_TRAP > Disabled
-
- ^012 INT_DURING_IO > Enabled
-
- Next, close the settings notebook, and
- Hubie is ready to use from OS/2.

- ^009@Windows 3.1-3.11:
-
- Hubie should run under Windows 3.1-3.11, however,
- the sound & music will probably NOT work.
- Some users have been able to run Hubie from Windows
- 3.1-3.11 by using the latest Sound Blaster
- Drivers. Note that if you have a 'clone' sound card
- which requires you to run a DOS based setup program
- or TSR in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, it will almost
- definitely NOT work. Windows does not like to share
- the sound card between itself and DOS programs, so
- if you attempt to run Hubie with sound under
- Windows 3.1-3.11, you may receive a message from
- Windows regarding this.
-
-
- \\Page
- ^009@Windows 95:
-
- Hubie SHOULD work under Windows 95. Windows 95 does
- a much better job than Windows 3.1 with DOS compatibility,
- so users should have little trouble running Hubie. Note
- that the same issue applies with sound cards: If your
- sound card requires a special TSR or program to reset it
- before use, make sure that your DOS prompt is set up to
- run it in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- Hubie will run in a window, but the visible frame rate
- will be about half of what it should be. This is due to
- Windows 95 slowly polling the VGA display memory. To
- get the proper frame rate with Hubie, we recommend
- running Hubie in a full screen.
-
- Norton Utilities for Windows 95 may cause Hubie to
- freeze or hang. The conflict appears to be related
- to the Norton Utilities Protected Recycle Bin.
- Serendipity recommends disabling the Protected
- Recycling Bin or, booting to DOS before play.
