- THE OS/2 GAMER'S GUIDE - January 1995 Edition
- =====================================================
-
- PLEASE READ THIS TEXT IN ITS ENTIRETY AS IT CONTAINS
- IMPROTANT INFORMATION ON PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND ON
- INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
-
- To install:
- ^^^^^^^^^^^
- Make sure you have placed a copy of VROBJ.DLL in
- a directory in your DLL path. This DLL must be for
- VX-REXX version 2.0c or better.
- Run the install.exe program. It will prompt you for
- which drive to install to and will then proceed to
- unarchive the program files and then create the
- required desktop objects for you.
-
-
-
- Thank-you for taking a look at the first edition of
- "The OS/2 Gamer's Guide". This program is meant to
- be an easy to use tool in getting your DOS games
- working their best under OS/2.
-
- The program is very straight forward in it's design
- and therefore should be extremely easy to use.
-
- This first edition is obviously, and intentionally,
- fairly limited in the quantity of games included. The
- reasons for this are as follows:
-
- (1) I want some feedback from users concerning the
- design, layout, features, and scope of the guide.
- If you feel something more should be added,
- something should be changed or deleted, please
- let me know.
- (2) I have only a limited number of games myself and
- therefore will need users to send me settings
- for games that they have successfully managed to
- get running under OS/2.
-
- I hope to be able to release updates at regular
- intervals in order to keep the contents of the guide
- as up-to-date as possible and thereby support the
- newest games. My initial idea is to do this on a
- bi-monthly basis, but please comment if you think
- otherwise.
-
- Finally, this program is freeware but I would
- appreciate a comment if you use the software. The
- program, and the installation routine, were both
- written entirely using VX-REXX v2.0c from Watcom. As
- a result it requires you to have a copy of the VX-REXX
- runtime library, VROBJ.DLL. This can be found on
- numerous OS/2 FTP sites including ftp-os2.cdrom.com,
- ftp.nmsu.edu and rexx.uwaterloo.ca.
-
- Please send any comments, suggestions, game settings
- or anything else to me at black2@server.uwindsor.ca.
-
- Thanks,
- Kevin James Black
