- MORPHICS
- MORPHICS COPYRIGHT 1994 THORWARE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
-
- morphic (mor' fik) adj. Pertaining to form; morphological.
-
-
- MORPHICS is a full screen 3-D screen saver which plays any 320 x 200
- or 640 x 480 FLI animation files in either a random or routine order.
- MORPHICS can be run both from the CONTROL PANEL / DESKTOP window AND
- the MORPHICS icon in Windows. MORPHICS also allows you to display
- still pictures in a RLE, DIB, or BMP format.
-
- MORPHICS also makes a nice FLI/FLC (or RLE, DIB, or BMP) viewer
- because of it's PREVIEW option as well as it's ability to be ran
- directly from Program Manager.
-
- T H O R W A R E recommends that MORPHICS is ran on a 386 or better
- processor with at least 2Mb of RAM.
-
-
- LOADING MORPHICS:
-
- Decompress mrphss.zip, run setup.exe, and respond to the prompt for the
- appropriate source directory! (Morphics MUST be copied to the \windows
- directory in order to run correctly.)
-
- All needed files are copied to the appropriate \windows and
- \windows\system directories!
-
- NOTE: Animations will not run in full screen mode until Windows has been
- rebooted. This will allow Windows to configure itself according to the new
- information Morphics placed in the Windows' *.ini files.
-
- If you are getting the message "Unable to copy 'THREED.VBX' to the \windows
- or \windows\system directories" or similar message...try closing all other
- applications that are running. The other applications may be trying to
- use one of the files Morphics is updating.
-
- Closing all applications may not resolve the problem. If this is the case
- then you should rename the file that is experiencing the conflict to
- something like "<filename>.BAK" (i.e. THREED.BAK) and then try running
- setup again. This should resolve the problem with Morphics.
-
-
- RUNNING MORPHICS:
-
- Morphics can most easily be ran from the Morphics icon within the Morphics
- window in Program Manager. Once ran AND <OK> is pressed, the application
- automatically configures Windows to use Morphics as the default screen saver.
- HOWEVER, to remove Morphics or to replace it with another screen saver,
- you must use the Control Panel's Desktop function to assign Windows another
- screen saver.
-
- (If you experience problems running Morphics...please see "TROUBLESHOOTING
- MORPHICS:" below!)
-

- TROUBLESHOOTING MORPHICS:
-
- If you are having any problems at all with Morphics, first verify the
- following files have been copied to your \WINDOWS directory:
-
- morphics.scr
- logo.fli
- morphics.txt
-
- and these files have been copied to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:
-
- aaplay.dll
- aavga.dll
- vbplay.vbx
- threed.vbx
- vbrun300.dll
-
- If any of the above files are missing, please contact T H O R W A R E
- for a complete version of Morphics.
-
- If you are having problems displaying the animation files full screen,
- first verify that the line "FullScreen=AAVGA.DLL" has been written to
- section [AAPlay Animation] in the win.ini file.
-
- Next, verify that you are not running a multimedia device, such as
- CD-Player or AVI-Player. There are inherent conflicts while running
- these multimedia players with Morphics.
-
- Some systems require the full screen animations to use interrupt 2f
- to switch between Windows and full screen mode. In order to have
- Morphics use this interrupt, add the following line to section
- [AAPlay Animation] of the \windows\win.ini file: Int2fSwitch=yes
- (The default setting is "no".)
-
- The above notes should solve most any problems you may be experiencing
- with Morphics. If you are still having problems, please report them
- to T H O R W A R E.
