- INTRODUCTION
- This universal tool was designed to play all the most common sound files
- and to show all the most common graphic and animation files. We believe
- you'll find that it's very easy to use.
-
- INSTALLATION
- You must install all the files found on this disk to a directory that is
- in your path statement. You'll find this path statement in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If this directory isn't already in the path statement
- add it to the end. Don't forget to place a semicolon between it and the
- previous path statement. For example:
-
- Previous path statement:
-
- PATH C:\DOS
-
- New path statement:
-
- PATH C:\DOS;C:\CINEMA
-
- You may copy these files to an existing directory that is already in your
- path statement.
-
- SELECTING OPTIONS
- Select options using the mouse or keyboard. You may use the arrow keys
- to highlight the option you desire then press ENTER. Or, you may use the
- mouse to highlight an option by placing the mouse cursor on it and pressing
- the left mouse button once. Press the left mouse button again to execute
- the option.
-
- CHANGE DIRECTORY
- You may choose this option from the main menu to change your current
- directory without exiting the program. Your current directory will
- be constantly displayed at the bottom of the screen.
-
- SHOW GRAPHICS FILE
- This option allows you to show PCX, GIF, FLI, and GRASP files. Suppose
- you choose the option LIST PCX FILES. You'll be shown a list of all the
- PCX files found in your current directory (which is shown at the bottom
- of the screen). If you see one on the list you'd like to see just select
- it using the mouse or keyboard.
-
- While a graphic file is being displayed, press any key to return to the
- previous menu.
-
- You may also select a special effect for displaying PCX or GIF files. For
- example you may choose SPIRAL. This will cause the graphics to be displayed
- from the center in a spiral fashion. There are 11 different special effects
- to choose from.
-
- PLAY SOUND FILE
- Use this option to play VOC, WAV, CMF, or MID sound files. After you choose
- one of these first four options you'll see a list of the files found on your
- current directory. Just select the one you want to hear.
-
- The next four options under PLAY SOUND FILES allow you to play all the sound
- files found that are recorded using a particular format. The last option
- allows you to play all the sound files that are found on your current
- directory.
-
- You'll need a sound card installed before you can hear these sound files.
