/*-------------------- Question the user about Windows on system ----*/

HelpWinqus:

 This question is asked to determine if Microsoft Windows 3.1 is 
 installed on your system.  
 
 If Microsoft Windows is installed, answer "YES" and the SINSTALL will 
 automatically modify Windows 3.1 adding the drivers and programs 
 directly into Windows.  
 
 If Microsoft Windows is not installed, answer "NO" and the SINSTALL 
 will not modify Windows 3.1.  Note: The sound drivers could be 
 installed manually by running the OEMSETUP in the \PRODUCER\WINDOWS 
 subdirectory. To do that, Enter Windows and double click on the 
 Control Panel icon under the Main group.  Double click on the Drivers 
 icon and click on the ADD button.  From the list of options, select 
 Unlisted or Updated Drivers.  When prompted for the location, type: 
 <Driver>:\PRODUCER\WINDOWS and add all three Sound Producer options.

/*------------------- Question the user about AT-Bus CD-ROM ---*/

HelpCDqus:

 The question is asked to determine whether the Sound Producer Pro's AT-Bus 
 Connector is connected to a CD-ROM Drive.  The drivers, SPCDU.SYS and
 MSCDEX.EXE, must be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file 
 respectively on your system in order for the CD-ROM drive to work correctly. 

 If YES, statements will be added to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
 If NO, the installer will continue.

HelpCDcomplete:
 The device statement for the CONFIG.SYS is: 
 
	  Device=<DRIVE>:\Producer\Utility\SPCDU.SYS /D:de-name

     The /D parameter in the above statement is used to specify a device 
     name for the CD-ROM (de-name).  You have the option to type in the 
     device name you want. 

 In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, this statement is needed execute the Microsoft 
 CD-ROM Extension file driver when you startup your computer:

	  C:\PRODUCER\DRIVERS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:de-name [/M:n][/E][/V][/L:dr-ltr]

     The parameters of the above statement are defined as follows:

     Parameter          Description
     =========          ===========

     /D:de-name         This parameter specifies the name of the device.  
			This name MUST be identical to the device name
			used in the CONFIG.SYS statement.

     /M:n               This parameter specifies the number of sector 
			buffers used to cache the path table of a CD-ROM 
			disc.  Each drive should have a minimum of 4 to 5 
			buffers.  The larger this number, the less your 
			PC has to read directly from the CD-ROM drive.

     /E                 This parameter lets MSCDEX.EXE use expanded 
			memory if it is available.

     /V                 This parameter displays memory usage when 
			starting your PC.

     /L:dr-ltr          This parameter is used to assign a drive letter 
			to the first CD-ROM drive.

/*---------------- Help for the the Windows Installation ---------*/ 

HelpUseWin:

 Before you start any applications, we recommend that you run our 
 diagnostic program to verify that all the Sound Producer Pro settings 
 are correct (i.e. Address, Interrupt, and DMA Settings).  Using the 
 DOS CD\ (change directory) command, change to the \PRODUCER\UTILITY 
 subdirectory and type the following:

 <DRIVE>:\PRODUCER\UTILITY\SPSETUP  <ENTER>

 If you require more information, please refer to Chapter 2 of the Sound 
 Producer Pro User's Manual.

 To run the applications, start Windows 3.1 by typing: "WIN" from your 
 \WINDOWS subdirectory.  There will be a window called "Sound Producer 
 Pro".  Drag the Voice Notes icon from the Sound Producer Pro window to 
 the Startup Group window and restart Microsoft Windows.

 ALL DRIVERS WILL BE LOADED UNDER WINDOWS 3.1.  If a problem occurs, you 
 may need to reload the sound drivers for the Sound Producer Pro.  Using 
 your mouse, double click on the Main Group window.  Double click on the 
 Control Panel icon. Double click on the Drivers icon.  Click on the ADD 
 button.  You will see a list of driver options.  Select the Sound Producer 
 Pro WAVE & MIDI option and click on the OK button.  All sound drivers 
 required for the Sound Producer Pro to function correctly under Windows
 will now be loaded.  Note: If you do not use the default address 
 (220 Hex, IRQ 7, DMA Channel 1), you must run the above commands and 
 select the new addresses that were configured with "SPCONFIG".

 ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE LOADED UNDER WINDOWS 3.1 IN A WINDOW CALLED 
 "SOUND PRODUCER PRO".  If a problem occurs and you need to reload 
 the program icons, follow the Microsoft Windows 3.1 Manual for 
 selecting applications and dragging them to a window.
  
 Norton Desktop for Windows Users:
 ---------------------------------
 Due to the way Norton Desktop for Windows modifies the GRP 
 configuration, you will have to load the Windows applications 
 manually.  Use the File Manager and drag the following EXE file 
 into a Window Group:

 C:\PRODUCER\UTILITY\WIN-MIX.EXE
 C:\PRODUCER\VOYETRA\JUKEBOX\WJUKE.EXE
 C:\PRODUCER\VOYETRA\WINDAT\WINDAT.EXE
 
 And drag the following EXE into your Start-up Group:

/*-------------- Help for the Player diskette build ----------------*/

HelpCopy:

   This option will create a diskette with a Playback Only version of 
   VOICE NOTES, a Windows sound driver that does not require a sound card, 
   and an installer for both of these.  You may give this diskette to 
   your associates, so that they can play Voice Notes embedded 
   in documents you send them.  The sound driver will be installed only 
   if there is no hardware already installed that can play PCM format 
   sound.

   The diskette has an installer program called INSTALL.EXE.  Insert the 
   diskette in a floppy drive and type "INSTALL".  The program will copy 
   the drivers and applications into your \Windows subdirectory.

   The Windows SYSTEM.INI file will be updated and the WAVE= statement 
   will be modified.  If the system already has a sound card installed, 
   there is no need to install this driver.
