- Deluxe PhotoLab Demo V3.1
-
- Created by Gene Brawn for Electronic Arts
-
-
- PhotoLabDemo is distributed on 2 floppy disks: PLdemoI and PLdemoII.
- You can run the demo from the floppies ( if you have 2 drives ) or from a
- hard drive ( after proper installation.) See below for instructions.
-
-
- Warm booting
-
- If you do a warm boot, be sure that PLDemoI is the boot disk and PLdemoII
- is in any other drive.
-
- When you make backup copies, be sure to rename the copies with the same
- names as the originals.
-
- Installing on a RAM drive
-
- The demo can be automatically installed on a RAM drive by double-clicking
- the InstallRAM icon or by "executing" the file from CLI. This will transfer
- to you RAM drive all of the files you'll need in order to tun the demo. You
- need at least 2 megabytes of RAM to use this RAM drive feature. If the
- demo crashes while running from the RAM drive, then you probably don't have
- enough memory.
-
- Installing on a hard drive
-
- The demo can be automatically installed on a hard drive by double-clicking
- the InstallHD icon or by "executing" the file from CLI. This will transfer
- to your HD all of the files you'll need in order to run the demo. If you
- wish to change any of the parameters, use an ASCII text editor (ED, EMACS,
- etc) to change the directory or file names.
-
- The HD install program comes with a batch file and an icon (ICONX must be
- present in your c: dir or on the demo disk in order to run it from the WB.
- "InstallHD" handles this automatically.) "InstallHD" simply "assigns" the
- floppy disk device names to the name of the sub-directory containing the
- PhotoLab demo files. You may edit this batch file (PhotoLabDemoHD) with any
- ASCII text editor, i.e ED or EMACS, if you don't like the setup.
-
- Be sure to change the "default tool" box in the icon's ".info" file (via
- the "info" selection in the WB menu) to reflect any changes in location of
- program "x." See the current setting for an example.
-
-
- Running from the CLI
-
- a. When :c is assigned to a hard drive, insert the "PLdemo" disks
- in any 2 drives. <CD> to PLdemoI: and type <PhotoLabDemo>.
-
- b. Without a hard drive - Not recommended. But if you must...
-
- Put PLdemoI in your 2nd drive. <CD> to PLdemoI:.
- Type <PhotoLabDemo>...wait
-
- When the black & white "Electronic Arts presents" screen appears,
- put the PLdemoII disk in the internal drive; the demo will run
- normally from here on.
-
- If you forget to put the second disk in the drive, the demo will
- halt the first time it needs something from this disk (about 3/4
- of the way through the demo) and prompt you with a system
- requester. This doesn't hurt anything...the demo will continue
- running normally as soon as both disks are present.
-
- Memory
-
- You'll need about 350K of "chip" memory and about 350K of "fast" memory
- in order to run the demo. If you don't have enough memory you'll get an
- error message before the program begins to run. Free up as much as you can
- and try again.
-
- On the whole, it's probably better not to multi-task while running the
- PhotoLab demo.
-
-
-
- Enjoy.
