- Quick Start Instructions for Game Hints:
-
- Find a UHS hint file -- the place where you found this reader can tell you how
- to get one (see UHS.TXT if you're on a commercial on-line service such as
- CompuServe for instructions). Copy the files UHS.EXE, UHSTSR.EXE,
- UHSTSRB.EXE, and your hint file into the same directory. Enter the following
- DOS commands, hitting ENTER after each line, to do so.
-
- MD C:\UHS
- COPY UHS*.EXE C:\UHS
- COPY *.UHS C:\UHS
- C:
- CD\UHS
-
- The instructions above assume that you already have a .UHS hint file and that
- it's in the same directory that you're currently using. Normally, when you
- download files, the program that you use will place all downloads in the same
- directory. If you can't find a .UHS hint file in the current directory, look
- in your download directory, type the letter of its drive, use the CD command
- to move to that directory, and then copy the hint file to your UHS directory,
- as follows. Change the first two lines to match the download directory for
- your communications software.
-
- C:
- CD\TAPCIS\DL
- COPY *.UHS C:\UHS
-
- Some hint files may be compressed when you receive them; if so you will need
- to uncompress them and repeat the previous instructions. The place where you
- found your hint files should be able to tell you how to uncompress them.
-
- Now you should be ready to start the UHS reader. If you want to get hints
- while you're playing a game, use the following commands. Text in square
- brackets should not be typed in, but you should follow the instructions given
- in the comments.
-
- C:
- CD\UHS
- UHSTSR KQ6 [replace "KQ6" with the name of the .UHS file you're using]
- [start your game as described in its manual and wait until you need hints]
- [then hit the ALT and ? keys at the same time for hints]
-
- If you don't get hints when you hit ALT-?, change the third line of the above
- commands to
-
- UHSTSRB KQ6
-
- and repeat the same five steps. If that doesn't work, you should try the DOS
- prompt UHS reader. Enter these commands:
-
- [start your game as described in its manual and wait until you need hints]
- [exit the game once you need help]
- C:
- CD\UHS
- UHS KQ6 [replace "KQ6" with the name of the .UHS file that you're using]
- [get your hints, start the game again, and keep playing]
-
- See UHS.TXT and UHSTSR.TXT for more detailed instructions on how to use these
- programs.
