INITIALIZING THE PROGRAM
If installing from a floppy disk with the
auto-install files:
Insert disk in drive A: (or B:)
Type A: Enter
Type INSTALL Enter
To run storybook:
Type CD \[NAME OF BOOK] Enter
Type BILLY Enter
TO HEAR THE .CMF MUSIC
To run .CMF music, a Sound Blaster
sound card - driver SBFMDRV.COM
must be in resident before running
the storybook.
Check your Sound Blaster directory
[example used - SB], to see if there
is SBFMDRV.COM listed. To check the
directory do the following - If your
Sound Blaster [SB] is in the C: drive
Type C: Enter
Type CD\SB Enter
Type DIR Enter
Now look for SBFMDRV.COM
If you see this listed, go back to the
storybook directory. We have made a
BB.BAT file which will install the
sound driver and also run the
storybook:
Type C: Enter
Type CD\[NAME OF BOOK] Enter
Type BB Enter
Now when you open the storybook, you
should hear .CMF music.
If you don't hear the .CMF music, the
drive and/or directory information may
need to be changed. You need a text
editor utility to edit the file (later
versions of DOS have the EDIT utility,
or if you have Windows, use the Notepad.)
For example, if you have EDIT:
Type C: Enter
Type CD\[NAME OF BOOK] Enter
Type EDIT BB.BAT Enter
The DOS editor will now come on your screen.
The BB.BAT is set to find the SB\SBFMDRV
on the C: drive, if your Sound Blaster [SB]
is on another drive, change the C: to that
drive.
Example: BB.BAT as distributed reads:
C:\SB\SBFMDRV
BILLY
C:\SB\SBFMDRV /U
My second drive is D:, so I would change it to:
D:\SB\SBFMDRV
BILLY
D:\SB\SBFMDRV /U
Click on SAVE to save your changes.
Read your Sound Blaster book for more
information if you still can not hear
the .CMF music in the storybook.
