- Installation:
-
- To install Igo from this disk to another, type:
-
- INSTALL SRC DST
-
- Where SRC is the source disk (for example A:) and DST is the
- destination disk (for example C:). If you just type INSTALL,
- the program will be copied from the A: disk to the C: disk.
- Install makes a directory called IGO on the destination disk
- and copies all files from the source disk to the IGO directory
- on the destination disk.
-
-
- Copying and Distribution:
-
- Igo is copyright 1991 David Fotland. The go tutorial is
- Copyright 1991 Roger White. The purpose of Igo is to
- help as many people as possible learn how to play Go,
- so we encourage you to make and distribute an unlimited
- number of copies of this program, provided you include all
- the files from the original disk without altering them
- in any way.
-
- If your disk is missing any of the following files you can
- get a new master disk from Ishi Press International for just
- a shipping and handling charge.
-
- The following files are included on the distribution disk:
-
- egab19.bmp grain.bmp install2.bat tanb9.bmp vgaface.bmp
- egab9.bmp igo.exe msherc.com tanw19.bmp vgago.bmp
- egago.bmp igo.ico patterns.dat tanw9.bmp vgasmgo.bmp
- egaw19.bmp igoherc.bat readme vgab19.bmp vgaw19.bmp
- egaw9.bmp install.bat tanb19.bmp vgab9.bmp vgaw9.bmp
- go.rul
-
-
- On Line Help:
-
- Each menu option is explained in a help screen. You can get
- help by pressing F1 at any time except during the go tutorial.
- On the main playing screen, press any key to make the menu
- appear (it is under the Japanese character for go).
-
-
- Hercules users:
-
- You must run the driver program "msherc.com" before running
- Igo. Due to a Microsoft bug, if you do not do so your
- machine may crash when you run Igo. You have 3 options:
-
- 1) Run Igo by typing "igoherc" instead of "igo".
- Igoherc is a DOS batch file that runs msherc, then Igo.
-
- 2) Type the command "msherc" yourself before the first time
- you run Igo (but you must then run msherc again each time you
- boot your machine).
-
- 3) If you have installed Igo on your hard disk you can add
- the line "\igo\msherc" to your autoexec.bat file. This will
- install the hercules driver every time your machine boots up.
- Note that this will leave less memory available for other
- applications. Msherc uses about 6 Kbytes of memory.
-
- Memory Usage:
-
- Igo requires 423 Kbytes of memory to run at all. The pattern
- database requires another 21 Kbytes (444 Kb total). Additional
- memory is used for the graphic bitmaps, but these are not
- required for proper program operation. You can use the "chkdsk"
- or "mem" (DOS 5.0) command to see how much available memory you
- have on your machine. If you don't have enough memory available
- check your autoexec.bat file and config.sys file for drivers and
- TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs that you don't need.
- Be sure to back up your autoexec.bat and config.sys files before
- you make any changes.
-
-
- Microsoft Windows 3.0:
-
- A graphic icon is provided for Windows 3.0 users called igo.ico.
- To install the program for operation under Windows: from program
- manager select File, New. Select "Program Item" and push
- the OK button. Enter the name of the program "Igo", and the path
- name "c:\igo\igo.exe" then select "Change Icon". Enter the file
- name "c:\igo\igo.ico" as the icon file name. Push the OK
- buttons. The program icon now appears as a small go board in the
- program group that was selected.
-
- If you have VGA graphics and are an advanced user you can
- improve the graphic performance by creating a pif and turning
- off "monitor ports" in the advanced screen. (See the "More About
- Applications" chapter in the Windows manual for details.) Igo does
- not use EMS, XMS, or HMA, and does not require "Retain video memory".
-
- Disk usage:
-
- If you are short on disk space you might be able to delete some
- files to save space. If you will not be using VGA mode you can
- delete the VGA graphic files (GRAIN.BMP and VGA*.BMP). If you
- will not be using EGA you can delete the EGA graphic files
- (EGA*.BMP). If you will not be using Tandy graphics you can
- delete the tandy graphic files (TAN*.BMP). If you will not be
- using Hercules graphics you can delete MSHERC.COM. If you do not need
- the go rules tutorial you can delete the file GO.RUL.
-
- If you delete files off your hard disk be sure you save the
- original disk since you must copy all the files if you make
- copies for other people.
