- DeluxePaint III Demo
-
- Created by Gene Brawn for Electronic Arts
-
-
- The DeluxePaint III Demo is distributed on 2 floppy disks: DPaintIII_demo1
- and DPaintIII_demo2. You can run the demo from the floppies (if you have 2
- drives) or from a hard drive (after proper installation.) 1 megabyte of
- memory is required.
-
- ALWAYS run the demo from the workbench.
-
- This demo is BIG and requires all of the memory on a 1 megabyte system. If
- you can't seem to get it to run, close all of the windows and background
- tasks and try again. If this fails, reboot your machine to clear out the
- memory (sometimes other processes can fragment memory and this may be enough
- to prevent the demo from running.)
-
- Installing on a hard drive
-
- The demo can be automatically installed on a hard drive by double-clicking
- the InstallHD icon on the Workbench or by typing in the file name from the
- CLI. This will create a new directory named DPaint_demo on your drive and
- then transfer all of the files you'll need for the demo to this drawer.
-
- The player program looks for a Hard Disk device named FAST: with a drawer
- named DPaintIII_demo. You must put an additional statement in your
- harddrive startup sequence for the demo to run. Here's how you do it:
-
- 1. Load your file "startup-sequence" into a text editor.
- 2. Add ASSIGN FAST: <your hardrive's name>, i.e. HD1:, FS0:, etc.
- to the list of "assign" staements already there.
- 3. Save it and run the demo.
-
- If you don't want to make this change permanently, simply click on the
- "Shell" or "CLI" icon in the Workbench and type the same "assign" sequence
- and press return. Close the CLI and run the demo. Unless you reboot your
- machine, you won't have to do this again and you can run the demo as many
- times as you wish.
-
- DON'T change the file or directory names, the demo will not run if you do!
-
- Enjoy
