- ****************** A NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS ******************
-
- The Multimedia Workshop is Windows-friendly! To install The
- Multimedia Workshop in Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or 3.1:
-
- 1. Copy the files from this disk to a sub-directory of your
- choice on your hard disk.
-
- 2. Start Windows and click the top of the main window
- (program group) in which you want to include The Multimedia
- Workshop, to activate the group.
-
- 3. Select NEW from the FILE menu. For Program Description
- type: TMW. For Command Line type: C:\YOURDIRECTORY\TMW.EXE,
- where C: is your hard disk, and YOURDIRECTORY is the
- subdirectory in which you have copied The Multimedia Workshop
- files. Then click on CHANGE ICON. In the ICON file box type
- C:\YOURDIRECTORY\TMW.ICO. And that's it. If you are not
- experienced with Windows, you may have to try it a couple of
- times to get everything right. After installation you can
- simply double click on the The Multimedia Workshop icon to
- start the program.
-
- 4. You can use this same procedure to install MSHOW, with the
- provided icon MSHOW.ICO.
-
- NOTE: When WINDOWS is juggling several programs, the sound
- effects may be distorted. If so, adjust 100% processing time
- (use the number 10000 in your .PIF) to The Multimedia
- Workshop, or multi-task less programs.
-
-
- *********************** MULTI-TASKING ***********************
-
- If you are using MS-WINDOWS or other multi-tasking software,
- you may notice that the sound effects and animations
- occasionally get screwy if you are multitasking several
- programs. This is because multitasking is done by quickly
- switching one program and then another to the attention of
- the CPU. Sound effects get chopped up in all programs. In
- other words, It's them, not us! In WINDOWS and perhaps in
- the other multi-tasking programs, it is possible to
- reproportion the amount of time allowed to each program.
- Anything that runs sound, like The Multimedia Workshop,
- should get 100% CPU attention when running in the foreground.
- In Windows, this is the second window under PROPERTIES, set
- the number to 10000 for 100%.
