- INSTALLING THE DEMO ON A HARD DISK
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You can install this demo to a hard disk by creating a directory for it,
- then copying all the files from this disk to that directory. For example:
-
- MD C:\DEMO ...make the directory "DEMO" on drive C
- COPY A:*.* C:\DEMO ...copy all files to it
- C: ...select C: as the current drive

- SELECTING THE VIDEO MODE AND SOUND DEVICE
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

- When the demo runs, it automatically chooses the best video mode and
- sound output device. If you want to override its choices, you can use the
- parameters below. If you have a COVOX or CMS sound board, you must use
