===GETTING STARTED======================================================
This section covers everything you need to know to set up and start 3-D
Body Adventure on your computer.
What do I need?
To run 3-D Body Adventure, you will need the following:
- An IBM(r) or compatible computer. A 386 processor is required, but
a 486 processor is recommended.
- A color VGA or SVGA monitor.
- A CD-ROM drive that supports ISO 9660.
- A hard disk with at least four megabytes of available disk space.
- Approximately 520 kilobytes of available RAM.
- A mouse (recommended); the software can also be run using the
keyboard alone.
- A sound device is required so that you can hear high-quality digitized
sounds.
- A printer (optional) so that you can print 3-D Body Adventure text
files; any printer that can accept ASCII text directly from your
computer port will work.
- The original 3-D Body Adventure compact disk.
How do I install the program?
Follow these steps to install 3-D Body Adventure on your system:
1. Insert the 3-D Body Adventure compact disc into your CD-ROM drive
and switch to that drive. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is F,
type:
F: and press <Enter>
2. Type:
INSTALL and press <Enter>
3. Follow the messages on the screen until the installation is complete.
The Install program will ask you where on your hard drive you'd like to
store the appropriate 3-D Body Adventure files, what sound device
you have, and whether or not you'd like to run under Microsoft
Windows(r). If necessary, your CONFIG.SYS file will be altered so that
FILES=20 or greater and your original CONFIG.SYS file will be saved to
CONFIG.BKA. You will also be asked to decide how much disk space 3-D
Body Adventure will take up on your hard drive. The more 3-D
Body Adventure files you store on your hard drive, the faster the
program will run.
NOTE: If you have difficulty installing 3-D Body Adventure, turn to
"About installation."
Running under Windows
If you answered YES to the question about running under Microsoft
Windows(r) when you installed 3-D Body Adventure, a new program
group called Knowledge Adventure has been created for your system. It
contains 3-D Body Adventure, Read Me, and 3-D Body Adventure
Config icons. Double-click on the 3-D Body Adventure icon to start
the program. Double-click on the Read Me icon to see the latest
information about 3-D Body Adventure. Double-click on the 3-D
Body Adventure Config icon to edit the configuration file. See
"About program defaults" for more information about the 3-D Body
Adventure configuration.
NOTE: You'll find that the following statement has been added to the
[386ENH] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:
DMABUFFERSIZE=150
Your original SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files are saved to the files
SYSTEM.BKA and WIN.BKA. (If WIN.BKA already exists, the old WIN.BKA is
renamed to WIN.BKB.)
How do I begin?
To start 3-D Body Adventure, follow these steps:
1. Change to the directory on your hard drive containing the 3-D Body
Adventure files. For example, to switch to the C:\3DBODY directory,
type:
C: and press <Enter>
CD\3DBODY and press <Enter>
2. Then, to start the program, type:
3DBODY and press <Enter>
NOTE: If you have difficulty starting 3-D Body Adventure, turn to
"About startup."
