-
- 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.
