I installed the program on my (german) Computer under Windows. In the setup program, the MCI audio CD driver was tested and the path TNTGR was put in my autoexec.bat. When starting the program, I was supposed to hear the first "Scene". Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything. I found out, that all but one of the CD's are audio CDs, maybe, that's where the problem is! If you got the same problem, or if you know how to solve it, or if you just wanna write something, then ANSWER! Thanks!

I also took the rose to harkers wife she in turn invited me to her home after the funeral I went and got the blessed cross. I also went to the asylumn with the sap in hand and as a result I saved van helsing from reinfield. I then met the boys at harkers home and then went to harkers office. I followed van helsings advice and got the hammer and stake. which we used to kill goldacre's main squeeze. I find that shortly after that when dracula appears and nearly gives van helsing a heart attack I can't seem to do any thing right. and believe me I've tried all sort of combo's. It always ends the same way with dracula telling me van helsing sends his reguards from the grave. oh well, I'll keep plugging away. I guess it would be cheating if I begged a play by play synopsis from you. anyway thanks for the reply and happy gaming! * QMPro 1.02 41-0943 * Misspelled? Impossible.

If you have nothing better to do than complain about something, go some where else to do it. As you are doing and I am doing, Mike was merely making a statement of his thoughts. That's what open discussion is all about. I do not always agree with what Mike or anyone else says, but I do support their right to say it. As for using the return key, I have used it a lot to get past the rediculous ravings of other want to be sensors and complainers, the Durel clan comes to mind.

Okay, getting kicked out of ONE echo is one thing, but this is bullshit. I did *NOT* get kicked out of ITCnet.

Just enough sound and Multi-Media presentations to tease, but fall way short of the commercial versions, so watch out. The Comercial Version of Comptons is nice, but then again Encartia is a good product too. I would suggest you go to B.Dalton Books (they will show you the software) or Computer City, or some other Large chain. They usually have at least one MM-Encyclopedia on demo.

The best advice I can give you , if you are going to be playing games or using Multinedia Programs, is to go with one of the SoundBlaster MultiMedia kits. They are compatible with everything and they are reliable. I purchased a MediaVision MultiMedia kit about 4 months ago, and have had nothing but problems. Even the CD-Rom drive went bad, and when I had to send it to California for "warranty", I didn't hear back from them. When I finally called them, I was told, because of Chapter 11, they didn't carry many replacements and my CD-Rom drive was out of stock. I had to pull the Sound card out of my computer and sent them back along with my speakers and all the rest of my kit. I am now waiting on a kit kit to come!

All help will be useful, I'm on a It should work, though multimedia on PCs is never a sure thing. When you set up your titles though do it through the windows program manager. Many titles do not setup properly under the PCTOOLS desktop and some absolutely will not run unless program manager is the shell. I got around the problem by having two windows boot modes, one for every day the other for multimedia. I bit of a pain but better than having to reboot ever 20 mins. Also I usually prefer to work in 800x600 and most multimedia stuff is set for 640x480 in 256 colours. Having a batch file that just copies over different versions of the system.ini and win.ini prior to windows launch solved many of the problems I was having. As for the DLC chip I don't know. I had one machine using a Cyrix DX clone and I couldn't get any windows CD-ROM titles to work no matter what I tried. I definately recommend buying a kit from a store that has a good return policy so if it proves too frustrating you can just haul it back. ___ X RM 1.2 01400 X RoboMail -- The next generation QWK compatible reader! --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: Pandora's Box * Eugene OR * (503)343-4520 * HST/DS * (1:152/6) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DANE BEKO Number: 9401 To: HENRY COLVIN Date: 11/25/94 8:38a Subj: Sound Blaster Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No HC> With reading some of the messages on this board it sounds like HC> you Know what your talking about.

I have a Panasonic 563 and have had no such problems but a customer with a Phillips 506 and another with a Sony (not sure which model # but comes in the new Creative Labs Discovery kit) have both experienced skipping and changing tracks when playing certain audio CD's. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot all aspects of this problem yet but when talking to an audio technician was informed that a company named "CINRAM" developed a cheaper way to press audio CD's. He assures me that this is the cause of the problem. On the inner circle of your CD is the name of the manufacturer. I have tested an audio CD manufactured by 3M in the Sony drive with no skipping and as soon as I get the Phillips player into our shop I'm going to collect a variety of audio CD's to test out this theory.

I was interested in the Sony CDU-33A CD-ROM drive, but I went to the store today and tried to eject that drive on two computers and the tray stopped halfway, and never made it out of the drive. This made me sort-of uneasy about this drive. I know that the CR-563 has the same specs as that Sony, except it has a nicer interface on the outside and it slides in and out of the drive with ease and craftsmanship, I tried EVERY Packard Bell with that drive and it worked perfectly EVERYtime!

I have seen so many different things about the Pentiums and the DX/2s that my head is spinning in circles. I am mainly going to buy a new computer right at Christmas so that I can blast off into MULTIMEDIA, or so they say. I have heard that the 486DX/2-80 is a strong chip, that it even outperforms the 486DX/4-100s and the P5-66s, but is this even close to true? After I start to settle in on the AMD 486DX/2-80, I am told that AMD has quit selling this chip and only sold a few in the first place, is this true? I personally can't afford anything MORE than a Pentium 60MHz computer, but will I be totally happy with this processor? With the P5-60, is it a fast CPU? Also, should I buy it with PCI Local BUS or VESA Local BUS, most I see at this level come with PCI, is this good? I see in the iCOMP benchmark by Intel that the P5-60 is twice as powerful as the DX/2-50, is this true? If you can help me in ANY way, please reply, thanks!

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No I purchased a Reveal double CD rom drive and installed it into my comptuer. It came with "The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia". The installation process went well and it gave me great multi media movie clips and the sound was outstanding. We have a new computer store in Houston and while shopping at the store they had "The Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia Version 1.0. By the way the Grolier version was release 6 version 6.01. After installing the Software Toolworks and tryed it out I decided to stay with the Grolier Multimedia one. I went into the movie clips and the sounds had a real bad reverb to it. It sounded as if you were in a small echo chamber talking. It seems that the Software Toolworks encyclopedia over wrote something and trashed the Grolier Encycloped. I called Reveal as they requesed in the manual and the was on hold for about 45 minutes (thank goodness It was a 800#) The tech worked with me for about 40 minutes checking the .ini files and the windows system files out trying to get the thing from echoing. The video came out ok, but the sound was messed up. Finally the man at Reveal told me to call Groler Co. I did and that was when the trouble started. I talked to "Joe" at Grolier and he told me I needed to call Reveal. I told him that I did and they could not help me. Joe at Grolier told me that he could not help me. I told him that the encyclopedia had his company name on it and I was talking to him, he represented the company. He again argued with me telling me that was tough. He said I need to upgrade to the $ 150.00 version and he could not help me. Only when I upgraded could he hlep me. I told him if buy an apple and it was bad do you think I would purchase any more? Joe then handed me to his supervisor by the name of Scott. He told me the same thing. "Purchase a $ 150." version and we can help. I could not get any support from Groler. They just flat told me I am SCREWED! If you own the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia and try to install the one from Software Toolworks, Be careful it will trash the Grolier. In fact Joe told me they sell the encyclopedia to Software Tool Works to be re-packaged under their name and use a different format. Just as soon as I get off this board I am going to log into the Houston Public Library's "Dial Cat" and log on to the library and get into company profiles and have it search these two companies and write the CEO and VP and raise HELL on the attitude of their employees who don't give a damm about their customers.

DS>What a fake out, shouldn't that have made it something like v 1.5 or DS>something? This version was originally slated for U.K. distribution. In my personal opinion, it should of had no version numbers as it was pressed in limited quantities (750) and was going to a specific geographical region. Keep in mind as well, that before version 2 was sold to any dealer, they were informed of the fact that the only difference between 1 & 2 was the lack of Sick and Twisted on the second version. In the past, I had sold version 2 in this and other Fidonet echoes, but had made the distinction between the discs. I feel that anyone selling this disc was obligated to do the same. Version 3 is the true updated version of Forbidden Subjects. It is now being put into the distribution channels (Call a Dealer near you!). It is the ONLY Hacker related CD that comes with a hyper text engine that will read text files inside compressed archives and comes with a custom written BBS door program.

So stay away from MediaVision at all costs. Greg, Sorry to hear that you got a lemon when you bought your kit. But before you go blasting Media Vision in a wholesale manner, perhaps you should check into why they went into Chapter 11. To make it short, they experienced a short term cashflow problem cause they put so much into producing product and further research, and didn't get what they expected in accounts receivable. All of their creditors agreed to wait for their cashflow to regulate, except for two entities, both BANKS. That is what happened. Unfortunately, chapter 11 requires certain actions be taken to 'reorganize', one of which is liquidation of stocks on hand. That is why you wound up in the situation you did with your drive. I personally have several MV hardware products and have had no trouble with them at all... All the information regarding the Chapter 11 is on their BBS for download, if you are interested. That is where I found my info.

Thanks for the reply, Dan. After a bit more pondering, I figured it out. In my case the CD-ROM drive is "E:" ... the problem was I was putting "E+" in the command line. It is supposed to be "E" _without_ the "+". The "+" indicates you want Smartdrive to write back to the drive, which obviously in the case of a CD-ROM drive you can not do. Seems like most of the time it's the little things we at first miss. The caching on the CD-ROM drive now works just fine with only the "E" added. Although I must admit, I have not noticed much of a performance increase adding the caching. Perhaps with the built-in cache of the CD-ROM drive, it was performing at close to optimum already. Once again, thanks for the reply and the advice. -Ken- * OLX 2.1 TD * Is Shelley Long? --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.10 * Origin: EMERALD * (503)343-1712 * 10GB * 7 NODES (1:152/22.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BRENNAN CHILDS Number: 9599 To: STEPHEN LOWERY Date: 11/21/94 1:31p Subj: Front Page Football on CD Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ╒══════════════════════════════╕ Stephen Lowery softly whispered... │Quoting the inspirational words of BRENNAN CHILDS... │ │Thanks, BTW what are you running Front Page on?

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No DB| to stay with sound blaster becuase it will be most compatible with all | programs but most sound blaster drive are propriety(spelled wrong) | drives, and I also heard that I should go with SCSI, which is better? I If your budget allows it, I'd go for SCSI, because it allows you more flexibility in upgrading. With SCSI, you can upgrade your drive without having to upgrade your host adapter (or host adapter on a sound card), and vice versa. Also, a SCSI adapter will handle 7 devices (not just CD-ROMs but also hard drives or any SCSI device), so you're set for future expansion. The only down side to SCSI is it costs more. DB| saw a Sound Blaster SCSI card and CD-ROM drive. Is this a good package? I use the Sound Blaster SCSI with a Toshiba 3401 drive, and like it very much.

First thing to do is delete the old drivers and config stuff and re-install them from the original disks. I'd say a good 70% of the time, this will fix things up when tweaking has caused strange behavior. If that does not improve the problem, see if you can take the drive down to a local computer shop. Most of the time, a piece of dirt or dust in the drive unit will account for intermittant read errors. If the problems persist, a new drive may be in order. Sony makes a good doublespped that isn't to expensive, and of course, you could buy a new Panasonic (though I personally have seen a terrible track record with those units).

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No DH>I purchased a Reveal double CD rom drive and installed it into my comptuer. It DH>came with "The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia". Doyle, sorry to hear all your woes with Grolier and Software Toolworks (now called MindScape). I am not an employee of any of those companies or Reveal nor am I an appologist for them. But may I make a suggestion then some comments? Suggestion. The Grolier employee was right. Grolier does the encyclopedia, STW/Mindscape does the OEM and distribution. So essentially they are identical encyclopedias in terms of content. That being the case and with Grolier 6.0 being the latest to my knowledge, try reinstalling the Grolier disc. You can do that one of two ways, just run it over the STW installation (easiest) or delete all the STW/Grolier files on your hd now and then reinstall Grolier. That is a bit more time and effort but is the best way to go. And after all should work for you. Now the comments. You were caught in the OEM bind. You did everything right from the consumer's point of view. And you got frustrated and mad as hell and now want to write the CEO's of the various companies. I would suggest adding Reveal to the list as they are very much a player in all of this. And don't think you are alone. This or a variation of this has happened to hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps millions over the years. And if they had all written to the CEO's or to computer networks, maybe this wouldn't have happened to you. So go to it. But something of an explanation here. I won't say it is absolutely correct, because these things get intertwined, I'm not a lawyer, and time changes all -- even established names like Software Toolworks. Grolier does the encyclopedia. Grolier looks after support for its own, boxed, version of the encyclopedia. Grolier lets Software Toolworks (Mindscape) look after OEM, the STW brand and distribution of the Grolier boxed version. Remember, Grolier only supports its own version. STW makes its own brands (though the firm dropped the STW title a year or so ago and since just put out Grolier, including OEM). What is OEM? It means Original Equipment Manufacturer, usually someone like Reveal who have a drive they want to bundle with some discs. Now, that leaves STW with its own discs sold under its own label (which it doesn't use any more) and OEM. In this case OEM is Reveal. STW sells the OEM disc (without box and dox and such) to Reveal which shoves them in the drive cartons and packs them off to stores. You get it. And everything gets screwed up. You do everything you should, and no one seems to know what to do. If that scenario is as I've found it to be over the years, then I think one major and a bunch of little mistakes were made -- all of them easy to see in hindsight from here. I think the Reveal person should have told you to call STW rather than Grolier. In this case the line for the disc is Grolier-to-STW-to-Reveal-to-you. It should have gone back in exactly the same direction. If STW couldn't fix things then they, as Grolier customers, could call Grolier and try there too. All very complicated? Of course it is. The small errors. I would have thought someone would have thought of suggesting that you wipe the files and start again. It is the simplest way to do things as far as I can tell. I hope everything works out for you and that you let us all know what happens. Cheers from Canada! Oh yes, and enjoy the encyclopedia when you finally can. It really is very good. --- * DeLuxe* 1.12 #4703 * --- QScan v1.131b / 01-0348 * Origin: FidoNet: CRS Online, Toronto, Ontario (1:229/15) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SEAN SOARES Number: 9666 To: SULEYMAN GOKYIGIT Date: 11/30/94 8:02p Subj: Please Reply!!!

Most hidden tracks on music CD's nowdays are put before track '1'. What you have to do to hear them, is start to play the first track, and fast scan back before it. I think Tool did this on a disc. Some pressings of Nirvana's "Nevermind" disc had an unlisted song about 20 minutes after the end of the last song, within the same track (this was done by The Lemonheads as well). -William --- * UniQWK v3.0 * The Windows Mail Reader --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.00 * Origin: The Night Creature BBS (1:215/60.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: WILLIAM SCHNEIDER JR.

Any type of motion video that you may try to watch will be a lot better. I made the jump from an ISA card with 1 meg of speedy VRAM, to a VESA card with twice as much slugish DRAM, and found a major improvement in working with CD-ROM's. I don't know how well the card you want to buy is, but you'll see a big difference with local-bus anyway. My advice, put off the video card purchase till you can afford a 2 meg board, or at least buy one that can be upgraded to 2 megs. The card that I bought is an Orchid Kelvin 64, which locally sells for $130 for the 1 meg, or $175 for the 2 meg (the Speedstar Pro sells for about $105). -William --- * UniQWK v3.0 * The Windows Mail Reader --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.00 * Origin: The Night Creature BBS (1:215/60.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: RANDY ROSENBERG Number: 9703 To: BRUCE MEYER Date: 12/02/94 8:30a Subj: General Protection Fault Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No One other thing I had discovered as a cause of GFP.

The problem is that, on about one-third of the discs I have, I got SOFT read errors. These errors go away on retry. Sometimes, these errors occur at random spots; other times, there are specific spots on specific discs that always go through this error/error/error/.../ok cycle. So I don't think the CD Drive is ready for use as a boat anchor quite yet; but I'm still puzzled about what the problem is. > Do you use windows or dos ? Both; depends on what I'm doing.

Yes, with proper drivers. I did mine the other way around - I bought an external SCSI from a Mac dealer, and then drivers for my PC because at the time Mac external SCSI drives were available for lower prices than PC external SCSI drives. It's funny how that works - like right now I can get better prices from Mac dealers on less than 1 gig SCSI hard disks than from PC dealers, while for > 1 gig, the opposite situation exists. > I need to buy one for my classroom and the Mac drives seem to be a > little too expensive.

Look in the back of MacUser or MacWeek. The only real advantage with buying an external CD-ROM drive from a Mac oriented dealer is that you get the driver bundled in, while if you buy it from a PC dealer you have to buy the driver seperately - so you need to factor driver cost into the equation. --- * Origin: Shockwave Rider, USR V.Everything +1(908)294-0659 (1:107/407) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ED NOPPEN Number: 9733 To: RANDALL BRULE Date: 12/01/94 6:37p Subj: RE: THE INCREDIBLE MACHIN Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Ed is replying to Randall who replied to All on 25 Nov 94 12:00am RB> Hi everyone.

It's the perfect solution for adding multiple CDROMs to your BBS. Pioneer has stopped production of the DRM-602X and is focusing exclusively on quad speed drives. Once the supply in the distribution pipeline sells out, this drive will no longer be available for purchase. The alternative, Pioneer's DRM-604X, still costs about $1000... The DRM-602X has the following features: -- Double speed, 307 k/sec transfer rate. Disk change time, less than 5 seconds. Access time, 300 msec. -- Bare drive includes cartridge, audio cables, and power cord. -- DOS SCSI drivers supplied for ASPI compliant adaptors, Future Domain adaptors, and the IBM PS/2 adaptor. The price of $449 is for a factory new bare drive. If you don't already have a SCSI interface and cable, I can also supply them. Shipping and Florida sales tax, if applicable, is extra. Visa and Mastercard are accepted. I have several drives in stock ready for shipment.

Right now I am sitting on the P5-60, for now. Hehehe... Well for the most value of a computer go for a DX2-66 by either Intel or AMD. I see no way of a DX2-80 by AMD to go much faster than an Intel DX4-100. Yes the Dx2-80 is a strong chip but in the early stages and it is being sold. They are producing enough of them and they are readily available if you can find a company who sells them. Don't listen to the people who tells you that, because it is wrong. The P5-60's performance is just about a DX4-100 although the chip is a bit faster but the way the P5-60's are structured, they virtually run at the same speed. The iCOMP benchmark does not show the type of video, ram, motherboard, cashe, ect.... Would you say a DX2-50 with 128 megs of RAM runs slower than a P5-60 with only 4 or 8 megs of ram? Granted 128 meg systems are hard to find, you must approach the processors in a differant angle. What I've discovered is that a P5-75 (yes these are out now) runs at a very fast speed and very cool unlike the P5-60, 66 and posibily the 90's which run on a 5v power outage unlike 3.3v on the P5-75. If you can afford a P5-60 you can afford a P5-75. If you can, go for a P5-75 with an upgradable motherboard (switchable jumpers and voltage ratings....) so you can go upto 90 or even a 100. I would recommend a 486DX2-66 or 80 as a base, and a triple speed CD-ROM 8 megs of ram, a PCI or VESA video card (about 2 megs...), a nice size HD (around 500 megs is good...) and a 15 inch SVGA monitor. I've talked enough but if you are sort of money, shop around, and maybe even wait a few more months where you can afford a high end Pentium..... Good Luck. ... Go straight to the docs.

This is a bare bones walk through of the start of Myst, and includes informatio on the Library and Tower. Not all details are covered, but the main points required for discovering the clues to the Myst books on the island are included You arrive on the island at the dock. Follow the dock to the end by the switch go up the stairs and turn left. Follow the path to the stairs at the end. Turn right and go up the stairs. You will find a note on the grass in front of the round granite building. The note tells you about a chamber near the dock and what to do there. You need to know how many marker switches are on the island. The switch at the end of the dock was a marker switch and they all loo the same. Explore the island and count the switches, turning them "on" as you go. You should be able to turn on all but one of the switches. One is located in a place you cannot get to yet, but you can see it. Return to the dock and look for a small door near where you first entered Myst. Clicking on the door will open it. Follow the corridor to a chamber. In the chamber is a large round device with a button on it. Turn until you are facing back toward the stairs and notice the small panel to the left of the stairway. Click on it to move closer. There is a list of settings on the panel, and a small button in the top left corner. Pressing the button causes the panel to open, revealing two numbers in windows and two sets of small up and down arrow buttons. Clicking on the arrow buttons allows you to set the two digit number in the windows. Set the two digit number to the number of marker switches on th island, then press the button in the lower right hand corner to close the panel Go to the large round device and press the button on it. The message will then play, giving you part of the story. Exit the chamber the way you entered and make your way to the Library, the square, granite building next to the round granite building in front of which you found the note. Inside the library you will find a red book and red page, blue book and blue page, three paintings, a bookcase and a fireplace. Take the red page and put it on the red book. Reading the book will give you part of th story. Do the same with the blue book and blue page. Examine the painting of the island. There is an outline of the major structures and features of the island on the painting (if you turned on the marker switches) and a flashing circle. Click and hold on the flashing circle and a line will begin to rotate around the circle. The line will turn red and pause at these points: the larg gears on top of the hill near the dock, the sunken boat's crow's nest, the larg tree, and the rocket ship. Stop the red line on the large gears. You will hea the sound of the tower rotating. Go to the painting that shows stairs leading to a corridor and click on it. The painting will swirl and the bookcase will open to reveal a secret passage. Follow the secret passage to an elevator and take the elevator to the tower. In the tower you will find two ladders. One leads to a narrow window that shows you what you have aimed at. The other, located behind the elevator, leads to a clue, bolted to the wall, that is neede to access the Myst book at the location the tower is aimed at. Return to the library, rotate the tower to the next spot where the line goes re and pauses, return to the tower through the secret passage, and get the clue fo this Myst book location. Repeat this process until you have all four clues. Once you have all the clues and are back in the library, click on the painting that shows an open doorway. This closes the secret passage and reopens the library exit. Before leaving, examine all the books in the bookshelf. While most are burned, some are not. The ones which can be read contain valuable clues and some actual maps which you will need during the various Ages. One book contains hundreds of drawings of squares in patterns. Leave this book alone for the moment. The last item in the library, the fireplace, comes into play later during the endgame. Myst is a trademark of Cyan, Inc.

I didn't know they grew 'em that big! InfoMagic produces CD-ROMs for the UNIX (TM) and LINUX (TM) freaks among us and for most everyone else. I don't know where these folks get their energy but I want a share. 626,547,450 bytes (according to dir/s, anyway. That's huge in anybody's book. It includes a large collection of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) files from the UseNet News, masses of scripts and source files from those news groups that cater to programmers and/or system administrators, game sources, and on and on and on. All the files I looked at viewed easily using DOS' "edit" program or "type <filename> | more." This would be the disc for a BBS operator wanting to decide which newsgroups to subscribe or for the UNIX system administrator looking for handy items to compile and stash in the usr/bin directory or for the PC user looking for a lot of reading material. I won't even try to tell you I looked at everything. (Hey, I have a life! (I know I do, it's around here somewhere, I think. Isn't it?)) What to do with all that information is left as an exercise for the user. Compiling and running any of the scripts, etc.? Have a ball, friend! I didn't even try. This isn't any pansy, point and click, pushover. It runs straight out of DOS. You treat it like any other drive. You'll get _real_ familiar with the "cd\" command. The directory structure, though, is well laid-out and not at all difficult to use. Things are in logical groupings and you can find what you want with a little effort. There's (see number above) bytes here, y'know? There's an index to more or less help you find your way around the sources files but you are the search program. There's a directory of tools for handling UNIX-style files in DOS called, appropriately enough, DOSTOOLS that allows you to untar, unshar, UUdecode, and convert files from UNIX format to DOS format for printing, etc. or just for extracting the compressed ones. I didn't find any compressed files on this disc, but there might be some. So it's nice to have the tools at hand. What do I think of it? Well, there's a lot here, a _big_ lot! It's a data junkie's dream for 40 bucks, list. Just for fun; take a look at \sources\misc\volume2\c_puns. It reads fine with DOS' edit program and it's good for a chuckle or two. I'm going to try to hang on to this disc for a few weeks and really delve into it. This CD is so big there's got to be a ton more interesting stuff hiding among the branches of the directory tree. Who knows what _ lurks_ in the heart of InfoMagic? I'm willing to bet The Shadow works for 'em. *************************************************************** Who's the reviewer? John P.

Husvar jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu If you like coffee table books, you'll love this CD Set. If you like such images in readily usable formats, you'll like it even more. All around, Jets & Props is a mini-air show for the desktop, an impressive item for airplane fanciers of any age from the budding aeronautical engineer to the average Joe who occasionally looks up and wonders what that plane might look like close up. Jets & Props is a 2-disc collection of 200 airplane photos that, while it may not knock your socks off, will let you know what the most common modern (and some not-so-modern) aircraft look like. Jet aircraft are on one disc, propeller-driven on the other. The images are good quality, viewable in either 320 X 240 small format (about 2" X 2" on a 14" monitor) or large format 640 X 480. (about 6" X 6") There's detail enough for the aficionado and broad overview enough for the younger set. The kids will probably love the 25 PACO-format movies on each disc. Using the programs is straight GUI in Windows, point and click. The command bar is mostly intuitive and includes random access by thumbnail sketches or search string. while the thumbnails are small, after just one or two run-throughs, they are clear enough to allow you to pick out a desired image pretty easily. Switching images in the large-size display does require clicking the next image and enlarge buttons in sequence, but it soon becomes second nature. I would like it better if the "Notes of Interest" were a little more detailed. The short descriptions provided with each image are barely adequate to whet the information junkie's appetite. And, after all, isn't information what the typical CD buyer is after? That's not to say that there isn't a lot of data on the discs (Pictures and animated imagery just love memory.) but more textual information would add just a touch of education to the typical youngster (or even middle-aged youngster's) fascination with airplanes. Getting started, I found this set remarkably easy to install and use in my Windows (tm) environment. If I, who just installed a CD-ROM drive virtually yesterday, can handle it in 5 minutes, it's dummy proof! Pop in the disc, log in to your CD-ROM drive, and run SETUP. Answer a few questions to the effect of, "Where do you want to put the files?" and let it do its thing. The only change I made to Aris' preplanned installation was to put the "ARIS" directory under my "Windows" directory. Drag the icons to a convenient location on your desktop and you're ready to go. The instructions for MAC and DOS operation seem equally simple. Aris also takes care of the chance you might want to do more than just view the images. They supply all 100 files per disc in 8-bit 320 X 240 and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit TIFF for use in high-res paint programs, and their audio in both WAV and VOC formats. They also extend on-the-box permission to reproduce up to 20% of the images sounds or videos royalty-free in print or digital publications so long as the artists and Aris Entertainment's copyright are duly credited. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> APPENDUM NOTICE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This review was provided by the author along with authorization for redistribution by config.sys, Inc., in an unedited state above this appendum.

I solved all the puzzles except for the Microscope puzzle. I had to go to the Help Book three times to get past it. I have to say that this is one of the coolest game's I have EVEN seen. I really enjoyed the graphics, music (be sure to play the songs on CD 2 in your audio CD player, some great music!) and the puzzles. I enjoyed the ending though I thought it was a bit short. Be sure to read the credits at the end, if anyone gets through to the Best Girl I'd like to know how she was! See you at Stauf's house, Neil NOTE: Not all puzzles are solved in this text!!! If you can add any solutions I encourage you to do so. If you would like you can send your solutions to me and I'll roll them into this text giving you credit if you wish.

The SoundBlaster 16-SCSI2 uses an adaptec interface, which works very well. It comes with Adaptec's EZ-SCSI software, and I have had it running multiple CD-ROMs flawlessly... EZ-SCSI will run your NEC with the SB or other Adaptec interface.

There are several drives coming out now that use an 'IDE' interface. Sony, for example, makes a drive that actually plugs right in to the IDE cable that the hard disks are attached to. For a quad speed, I would recommend a Toshiba 3501. Though I am not familiar with the Mitsumi model of which you write, I will say that a Toshiba unit will always have a quality edge over a Mitsumi product. If you do not have a sound card, you may also consider using a SoundBlaster 16-SCSI2 card, which has a built in Adaptec SCSI interface. The combination works very well.

Right now I am sitting on the P5-60, for now. Although I'm not much of an expert on the differences between a P5-60 and a P5-66, I've noticed the price difference between the two of these to be almost insignificant in the scheme of things. If you're putting out the bucks for a pentium, I don't see how the 60 could be as much of a value as the 66. (I believe Kevin Guest wrote that quote, BTW....) -> processors in a differant angle. What I've discovered is that a P5-7 -> (yes these are out now) runs at a very fast speed and very cool unlik -> the P5-60, 66 and posibily the 90's which run on a 5v power outage un -> 3.3v on the P5-75. If you can afford a P5-60 you can afford a P5-75. But to you, Pete, I think you may have incorrect information.

Both are extremely entertaining. However MYST must be installed under Windows and is extremely taxing on the CPU and system resources (MEMORY, Partial HD Space) and 7th GUEST can be played in DOS with very little HD Space required. If you have a 486-33 and Double Spin with 4megs and Windows Virtual RAM of 20megs or less MYST well work, this is minimum requirements. MPC I CD-Rom and Sound Card needed for MYST Minimum (Better to have 8meg Ram and 20 to 30 Meg Windows Virtual Ram) 7th Guest is not as demanding, Have a Good Fast CD-Rom and Fast Video Display Card (VESA Compatible if Possible), there is a lot of Video Motion when moving around. A CD-Rom Cache has seemed to help. So if ya got one, use it.

Mike Shannon (Starvector) got his order shipped FedX and should be able to fill his orders by the end of this week. He is the ONLY dealer that advertises in the networks - in the USA that has acutally placed an order... so if you pre-ordered from anyone other than him or me you'll be waiting until they decide to place an order. Unfortunately many dealers will take your orders but then wait until they have a large number of confirmed sales before they call me and place their order. If you haven't ordered Cream 5 or B&E 92 from me or Mike please call your distributor and tell them to get moving so you can have your disc before the new year.

Just got 7th Guest and am having alot of difficulty getting the program to continue past the opening panel (Ouija Board)... Some specifics... Am running DRDOS 6.0 with Superstor compression, and 548kb conventional ram free. Proaudio Spectrum 16 soundboard (set for either adlib/soundblaster or PAS16 settings...works the same). Non-VESA video using Trident 8900HC. Program installs without problems. The demo won't load and run at all...get the error: "GJD File System Error" and then it exits back to dos. The regular program (tg7.bat) runs through the opening screen, with great sound and graphics (including music (midi?) and voice (PCM?)), and the hand moves fine to select the options. However, if selecting New Game, the screen goes black and new music plays, but with no video. Following approx. 30 secs. of music the system locks up. Version of the game is European Version 1.2 (OEM). Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks! Tom Hamp Calgary, Alberta Canada --- Blue Wave/Max v2.12 [NR] * Origin: TechTalk; Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

It's just too.. Well, I don't know how to say it. It's got REALLY nice SVGA graphics, but the interface is just kinda not well thought up, and you advance a screen at a time, so all you do is click where you wanna go, then it loads up a different screen of that clicked area. Not much. No DOOM engine, or any kind of transitions, exept for a fade in/out thingy. I really wasted good money on my copy of MYST. I would sell it, but I wouldn't get much for it, so why not just keep it.. Unless someone is willing to take it for $50 or trade me a copy of Sam & Max. But I've had a really bad experience with used CDs so I don't know. Oh well. Clem PS> NOBODY flame me for MY opinion. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, and in MY opinion, MYST BLOWS. ...

I found that my extended directory program would often not work, and the DIR command in DOS would work more reliably but not perfectly. In every case, File Manager in Win 3.1 would read the CD-ROM, but sometimes would take up to a minute to load and read all the subdirectories. It then dawned on me that the large number of subdirectories was the problem - everytime DOS commands failed, File Manager would take a long time to swallow everything. Apparently, the huge number of subdir's on many CD-ROM's is just too many for the DOS DIR command and other programs. The DOS manual says 512 files/directories are the most allowed in the root directory, but that more than about 150 slows DOS down. Maybe that slowdown can interfere with the CD-ROM driver. (CD-ROM makers take note: organize those discs better!). My solution was simple - CD to a lower level of subdirectory on the CD-ROM; then all the error msgs disappeared. --- OverMail v0.82b * Origin: Christian Computors - Orlando, Florida - (407)240-1460 (1:363/136) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JOE PATRICK Number: 9934 To: KLAUS BECKER Date: 12/07/94 7:02a Subj: Return to Zork, witch ith Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No KB>So how can I get the bats from the witch.

Both are extremely entertaining. However MYST must be installed under Windows and is extremely taxing on the CPU and system resources (MEMORY, Partial HD Space) and 7th GUEST can be played in DOS with very little HD Space required. If you have a 486-33 and Double Spin with 4megs and Windows Virtual RAM of 20megs or less MYST well work, this is minimum requirements. MPC I CD-Rom and Sound Card needed for MYST Minimum (Better to have 8meg Ram and 20 to 30 Meg Windows Virtual Ram) 7th Guest is not as demanding, Have a Good Fast CD-Rom and Fast Video Display Card (VESA Compatible if Possible), there is a lot of Video Motion when moving around. A CD-Rom Cache has seemed to help. So if ya got one, use it.

We both have somewhat simular systems, plus I have a network card, and QEMM free's up my system to 632k. I don't know if N-Cache is any better than Smartdrive, but at least it wouldn't cost you anything to give it a try. You might try to go into QEMM and move some stuff around and see if it frees up some more memory. Here's something that usually makes a BIG difference, move your mouse driver to the first line of your autoexec.bat. Mice use a lot of base memory, and if it's later in your autoexec.bat, it's less likely to get loaded high. By loading your mouse first, you're more likely to get that big chunk of base memory back (Example, my Logitech mouse could use up 66k, but I've loaded it first, and now it takes 18k). -William --- * UniQWK v3.0 * The Windows Mail Reader --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.00 * Origin: The Night Creature BBS (1:215/60.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: WILLIAM SCHNEIDER JR.
