- INSTALLATION:
-
- You do not need to install this program on your hard drive to run
- it--it runs directly from the CD-ROM.
-
- You can get up and running fast by simply changing to your CD-ROM drive,
- changing to this directory (\PROGRAM), and running the ALLNIGHT program. For
- example, if your CD-ROM is installed on your D: drive, you would use the
- following commands:
-
- D:
- CD \PROGRAM
- ALLNIGHT
-
- Be sure to press ENTER or RETURN after each line, use spaces
- only where shown, and to use the correct "\" key.
-
- That's it! -- Enjoy!
-
- However, if you want to install it on your hard disk, you can run
- the INSTALL batch file. Do this by running the INSTALL batch file
- in the root directory of the CD and using the CD drive name as the
- first argument and the drive you want to install to as the second
- argument. For instance, if your CD-ROM drive is D: and you want to
- install to your C: drive, you would type:
-
- D:\INSTALL D: C:
-
- and press RETURN or ENTER. From then on, following this example,
- you would run the program by going to your C: drive, changing to the
- ALLNIGHT directory, and typing ALLNIGHT and pressing RETURN or ENTER.
-
- Installing to your hard drive may speed up the program slightly.

- USING THE PROGRAM:
-
- This program is easy to use. You are first asked if you are 18 years
- old or older. Move the selection rectangle with the arrow keys to
- the appropriate response and press RETURN or ENTER (or press "Y" for
- "Yes" or "N" for "No"). You are then presented with the title
- screen which will disappear after several seconds, or you may press
- the Escape (ESC) key to shorten the delay.
-
- Next you are presented with the main screen which consists of 9 series.
- You may press Escape (ESC) to quit the program at this point, or
- you may move the red selection rectangle (using the arrow keys) to
- the series you want to see and press the ENTER or RETURN key.
-
- Upon selecting a series, you will be shown the first thumbnail screen for
- the series selected. Additional thumbnails can be viewed by pressing
- the Page Up (PgUp) or Page Down (PgDn) keys. From this point, you may press
- Escape (ESC) to return to the main screen, press the F1 key to view a slide
- show of all of the images for the current series, or you may select a single
- picture to view by moving the red selection rectangle to the desired picture
- and pressing RETURN or ENTER.
-
- If you chose the slide show, you will be shown each picture of the series,
- one after the other, with a pause between each picture. You may press
- the space bar during this slide show to skip from a picture to the next
- without waiting for the delay, and you may abort the slide show at any
- time by pressing the Escape (ESC) key. Once each picture of the set has
- been shown, the program repeat the slide show until the Escape (ESC) key
- is pressed.
-
- If you chose to display a single image (by moving the rectangle and
- ENTER or RETURN), then the picture you choose will be displayed full-size.
- After the image is displayed, the following key commands are available:
-
- + or = Zoom-in (magnify view). The equals (=) key is allowed
- so that you don't have to press shift to zoom in.
-
- - or _ Zoom-out (shrink view). The underscore (_) key is
- allowed so that it will work even if you have the shift
- key pressed.
-
- [Up Arrow] Move (pan) up the image (same scale).
-
- [Down Arrow] Move (pan) down the image (same scale).
-
- [Left Arrow] Move (pan) left on the image (same scale).
-
- [Right Arrow] Move (pan) right on the image (same scale).
-
- [SPACEBAR] Go back to a full-screen view of the image. This is
- the view which the image is first displayed in.
-
- [ESC] Stop viewing the image and return to the thumbnail
- screen.
-
- Note: To perform the scrolling and panning operations, the program will
- try to use a buffer in conventional RAM. If there is not enough free
- conventional RAM, then the image will be reloaded from the CD after
- a zoom or pan key is pressed. This will result in a slower response
- time. To improve your speed, be sure to have as much free RAM as
- possible before starting this program.

-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
-
- To use this program with DOS, you should have a VGA or Super VGA
- compatible video card which can display 8-bit color (256 colors).
- This program relies on VESA Video BIOS Extension (VBE) Version 1.0 (or
- better) support from your video card. Most cards have this capability
- built in and some provide it through a TSR which you must install.
-
- If you experience color display problems, Please contact your video board
- manufacturer to see if newer TSR software is available.
-
- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-
- TECHNICAL SUPPORT
-
- The most common problem is the video card does not fully support VESA.
- The sub-directory DRIVERS has some drivers for common cards. If the program
- does not display the images correctly, you should run the driver for your
- video card before running the program. If that still does not work, the
- driver UNIVBE.EXE should.
