- Wireplay Quick Start Guide.
-
- THIS SOFTWARE IS FOR NEW WIREPLAY USERS ONLY.
-
- Beware, If you already have Wireplay installed on your PC, running this
- software will overwrite your existing Wireplay software and any saved
- settings.
-
- You may wish to print this file before starting Wireplay.
-
- All operations should now be carried out running under DOS. If you are in
- Windows please shut down and restart in DOS mode. When running Wireplay
- it is best to run in DOS mode and not a DOS box within Windows. (Most
- games run under DOS).
-
- If you have downloaded this software from the internet, you need to run
- certain files to setup the Wireplay software correctly.
-
- Alternatively if you received this software on a magazine cover disk, you
- need to copy all the files to your hard disk first before continuing.
-
- Now all you have to do is move these files to the area on your hard disk
- where you want the Wireplay directory to be created. (e.g. at root level
- C:\ or under another directory such as GAMES). Then type 'wp15h4.exe' in
- the area in which you placed the files. This is a self-extracting utility
- which will set up a Wireplay directory and create all the files needed
- within it.
-
-
-
-
- Starting & Setting Up Wireplay

- games that you have on your system by clicking on the game name and then

- Check that the paths of the games you have selected are correct. If not,
- alter the path but do not change the file and its parameters.
-

- appear, select the nearest type by the same manufacturer or use the
- Generic Modem or Hayes Compatible modem type.
-

- mouse locks up when you later try to connect, select a different com
- setting.
-
- Choose your connection speed. We generally recommend 19200 although some
- games require a specific speed.
