- How to use Spectrum 2
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Click SELECT on iconbar icon to enter magazine.
-
- Once in the magazine follow the on screen instructions. Below is a brief
- description of the controls:
-
- Keyboard controls:
-
- 'Cursor ⇧' - This allows you to scroll the article up
- 'Cursor ⇩' - This allows you to scroll the article down
- 'Page up' - This scolls the article up a page at a time
- 'Page down' - This scolls the article down a page at a time
-
- Auto scroll:
-
- If you move the mouse pointer right to the bottom of the screen, the article
- will auto-scroll.
-
- Mouse Controls:
-
- 'Select' - This lets you select a menu item or icon
- 'Menu' - Click over an article or menu goes back to the main menu
- 'Adjust' - Click over an article or menu takes you back to the previous menu
-
- Icon Bars:
-
- The top bar serves as a Title bar and tells you which collection of articles
- you are presently reading. The bottom bar is the toolbar that contains a
- number of icons. These carry out a number of functions, and you can find
- out what these do by moving the mouse pointer over them and reading the
- interactive help in the top centre of the bar.
-
- RISC OS 2, 1Mb and 800K disc drive users
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- Spectrum 2 will NOT run under RISC OS 2 or on machines with 1Mb. All
- members of Sounds Riscy have 2Mb+ RISC OS 3 machines. We strongly suggest
- that you upgrade to RISC OS 3 and/or 2Mb of memory. Spectrum 2 can be run
- from the archive on 800K floppy drive machines, but if you can use HD floppy
- discs then we recommend that you transfer the files from the "Spectrum2"
- archive to a blank 1.6Mb disc (or better still, a hard disc).
-
- Sounds Riscy are very sorry to announce that Spectrum 2 will not run on the
- RiscPC. This is due to the CoconizerPlayer module locking up, and memory
- management on the new machine. We are using legal Acorn calls to find the
- screen memory, but we have been informed that it just doesn't work! Next
- issue we hope to be able to bring Spectrum to owners of the RiscPC. Until
- then, we sincerely hope that most RiscPC owners have access to a lesser
- machine!
-
- Sounds Riscy need you!
