- Instructions
- ============
- To use the patch, copy the OctaMED executable file from
- the CD (or Floppy) to a hard disk or a floppy.
-
- To make things easier, temporarily rename the executable
- file to just OctaMED.
-
- Then copy the file of your choice (CD or Floppy) along with the
- spatch program to the same directory as the renamed file (OctaMED).
-
- From the Shell prompt, cd to that directory and type:
-
- spatch -pCD-Eng.pch OctaMED
-
- The patch will be applied, and after it's complete, you can do
- the following steps:
-
- * delete CD-English.pch
- * delete the old renamed file called OctaMED
- * rename OctaMED_Soundstudio
-
- Now you have V1.03c of the executable file.
-
- The good news is that this patch will also run on your hard drive
- without the need to have your CD-ROM or floppy in the drive!!!!
-
- (should make some very happy)
-
-
- Please remember that if you do run the prog from the hard drive
- that you should edit your Soundstudio.config file to look for
- the paths on your hard drive instead of the CD-ROM
-
- For instance: IF using the CD and you place the prog into a drawer
- named OctaMED on your sys: (or DH1: etc), you will need to
- edit the following lines in the config...
-
- (These are only examples)
-
- HelpFile = OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:Help/OctaMED.Guide
-
- to:
-
- HelpFile = sys:OctaMED/Help/OctaMED.Guide
-
-
- Directory_Songs = "OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:Soundstudio V1/MODULES"
-
- to:
-
- Directory_Songs = Modules
-
-
- Directory_Instr = "OctaMED_Soundstudio_CD:Soundstudio V1/Samples"
-
- to:
-
- Directory_Instr = sys:OctaMED/Samples
-
-
-
