- MORAY V2.0 4th January 1996
-
- Finally, here is Moray V2.0. Although it is a lot later than I first
- anticipated, I'm sure the wait has been worthwhile.
-
- There have been many changes from V1.53, one of which is that I have used
- a different approach to the documentation. It is now tutorial-based and
- all MORAY features are explained in an interactive way in tutorials.
- Following that is a reference section that explains every menu and button
- in the program. I think this approach is easier for the first-time user
- and for the experienced user who just wants to look up something.
-
- This Archive contains the following files:
-
- README - This file
- MORAY.DOC - The V2.0 Manual, Tutorials and Reference
- MORAY.EXE - The actual V2.0 executable
- REGISTER.TXT - Registration instructions
- REGISTER.FRM - Registration form
- SUPPORT.TXT - Instructions on how to reach us and get support
- MORAY.INI - The configuration file (see MORAY.DOC)
- MORAY.MNU - The menu file.
- MRYDEFLT.COL - The default color definition file
- MRYTXTR.LST - The texture list MORAY should know about
- MRYPOV.INC - The default include file for POV-Ray scene files.
- MRYPOLY.INC - The default include file for Polyray scene files.
- MRYTXTR.MDL - The MDL file containing predefined textures.
- CALLMRAY.BAT - A batch file for an external Model/Render loop
- FILE_ID.DIZ - A BBS description of Moray V2.0.
- SYSxxxxy.FNT - System Fonts for various resolutions
- MDL/*.MDL - Various scene files
- POVSCN/ - The default scene directory for POV files.
- POLYSCN/ - The default scene directory for PI files.
- MDL/ - The default scene directory for MDL files.
- UDO/ - The default directory for UDO files.
- UTILS/ - This directory contains two useful utilities and a VESA
- testing and (MORAY relevant) benchmarking program.
- RAW/ - The default directory for RAW files.

-
-
- To install, just copy the ZIP to your harddisk in a directory like \MORAY
- and unzip with the -d option (creating subdirectories).
-
- If you are updating from V1.5, it is suggested that you install to a new
- directory. Also, you may want to read the 'New Features in V2.0' section of
- the manual (page 96) and do the first tutorial which explains the new
- interface.
-
- After unzipping the files, please take a moment to read the Installation
- section of the Manual (page 11). Of interest is also the Configuration
- section (page 101).
-
- In order to get the highest speed out of you system, please read Section
- 7.4 (page 109) of the manual and try installing UniVBE V5.1 or higher on
- your system. I have attained a 20- to 40-fold (yes -FOLD!) speed increase
- on my system after installing UniVBE V5.1. See the file VESATST.TXT in the
- UTILS directory for details on the included VESA Test and Benchmark program.
-
- Enjoy working with MORAY V2.0! Suggestions, criticism (and bug reports)
- are always welcome, ways of reaching us are located in SUPPORT.TXT.
