- Welcome to the Z demo from The Bitmap Brothers
- Z (c) The Bitmap Brothers 1996
-
- Installation Instructions
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Extract the files from the self extracting executable by typing
-
- c:\> Z_DEMO.EXE -d
-
- at the DOS prompt. The -d will properly create and copy files
- and subdirectories.
-
-
-
- DOS USERS
-
- To set up your sound card, type SETSOUND from the DOS prompt in the directory
- where you installed the demo. We strongly recommend that you use the
- menu items within SETSOUND to test your choices.
-
- Z incorporates a system called UniVBE which makes video cards compatible with
- VESA Video BIOS Extensions. This can solve display problems in SVGA mode
- and can provide performance improvements on many cards. However UniVBE can
- cause instability with some cards.
- Its installation defaults to AUTOMATIC which means it will only
- install on cards with a VESA standard of less than 1.2 If you wish to
- change your settings type SETVIDEO from the DOS prompt in the directory
- where you installed the demo.
-
- WINDOWS 95 USERS
-
- Run the SETUP program that is in the directory where you installed the
- demo. This will set up icons for the actual demo of Z and for SETSOUND
- and SETVIDEO, as detailed above.
-
- After you have done this please run the SETSOUND program to configure your
- sound card.
-
- Please note that the demo will not run under Windows 3.x Please quit
- to DOS to install and run the demo.
-
- IMPORTANT
- ---------
-
- If, after trying to run the Z demo, you get an error message
- informing you of a CRITICAL FILE MISSING, the chances are you
- have unzipped the game without recreating the correct directory
- structure.
-
- YOU MUST USE THE -d OPTION WHEN EXECUTING THE SELF EXTRACTION
-
- e.g.
-
- c:\> Z_DEMO.EXE -d
-
- Once correctly extracted, run SETSOUND to configure your sound card.
-
- If you have problems with video modes, especially in SVGA, try
- running SETVIDEO.
