- GETTING STARTED WITH VBLASTER
- (C) 1991 Copyright by Mark E Cowan
- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- ■ Introduction
-
- Thank you for acquiring this product. VBLASTER.EXE is a quality
- program that provides an easy to use 'Windows' like operator interface.
- Being nearly CUA (Common User Access) compliant, this program was
- intended to provide you with the capabilities to create SoundBlaster
- voice files, and to Play both SoundBlaster voice and CMF music files.
- With List boxes, radio buttons, and scroll bars, even the novice with
- no knowledge of DOS can run this program.
-
- On-line help is provided to accelerate learning the various menues and
- dialog boxes. Press F1 anytime to receive help.
-
- ■ Installation
-
- Simply copy the following files into the same directory:
-
- VBLASTER.EXE The main program
- BLASTM.HLP Help file for the main program functions
- BLASTR.HLP Help file for the Record dialog box
- BLASTP.HLP Help file for the Play dialog box
- REGISTER.TXT Text file describing how to register this product
-
- The directory you chose can be any directory. If you chose a current
- directory that is on the DOS path, then you can then run VBLASTER from
- any directory without having to type the full path name.
-
- You can also create a new directory for the new files and launch this
- program from other applications such as Pctools or Windows.
-
- For those of you not familiar with DOS, here is an example for setting
- up VBLASTER.EXE to run after downloading this program into the
- directory c:\pcplus\dwn
-
- c:
- md c:\blast
- cd \blast
- copy c:\pcplus\dwn\vblaster.exe
- copy c:\pcplus\dwn\*.hlp
- copy c:\pcplus\dwn register.txt
-
- ■ Running
-
- To run this program, simply type VBLASTER anytime at the DOS prompt if
- the files were copied into a directory which was on the path.
- Otherwise, type the full path name such as \blast\VBLASTER to run.
-
- You can also create a batch file which would call this program with the
- path if the directory used is not on the DOS path.
-
- ■ Registering
-
- Please send in your registration if you decide you like VBLASTER. It
- will enable me to continue to upgrade and enhance the program with new
- functions and to support bug fixes. Also, you will receive notices of
- new program releases I am currently working on that use the
- SoundBlaster card.
-
- Read the file Register.txt to find out how to register this product,
- and how to contact the author.
