- THE RISC DISC VOLUME TWO
- ========================
-
- Welcome to The Risc Disc Volume 2
-
- Before running The Risc Disc you may need to update your System with the
- Sysmerge utility which is in the Install directory. If you have a Risc PC
- then double-click on your !Boot directory and then click on the System option
- and then drag the System Directory from the CD onto the System update window.
-
- If you intend to run the EMPIRE demonstration you will also need to copy the
- !ARWork application out onto your hard disc. (Your hard disc needs to have
- approximately 6MB free).
-
- To run this CD click on the !RiscDisc2 icon and you will be presented
- with an interactive guide to the contents of the CD.
-
- This CD is designed to run under Risc OS 3.5 on a Risc PC with 4MB DRAM and at
- least 1MB VRAM. Some applications are also designed to run under Risc OS 3.1.
-
- MPEG
- ----
- The MPEG clips on this disc are designed to be played back using the Computer
- Concepts/Wild Vision Movie Magic card. Some of the clips with an extension
- /mpg will also play back using the PD software MPEG players by Paul LeBeau
- and Henrik Bjerregaard Pedersen.
-
- Some contents of the disc are designed to be copied onto hard-disc before
- use. But the primary aim is that the CD should avoid the need for you to hold
- demos and utilities etc on your hard disc.
-
- The contents of this disc have been scanned using !Killer Version 2.101 from
- Pineapple Software for all currently known viruses.
-
- RESOURCES
- ---------
- Where possible we have tried to ensure that all programs use common resources
- but you may find that if you are running a number of different demo's
- successively that conflicting versions of some modules are loaded by different
- applications. All applications have been tested to run individually but it is
- impossible to check every possible combination of applications.
-
- To avoid problems with filenames not conforming to ISO formatting on the CD
- you will notice that most applications are in ArcFS archives rather than
- normal directories. As long as ArcFS is loaded then these archives may be
- opened as normal by double-clicking. All the software on this disc may be run
- either using the front end pages in the !RiscDisc2 application or directly
- from the CD.
-
- THE WEB
- -------
- Due to the fact that most Web sites are run on Unix systems the filenames in
- that section are often longer than standard RISC OS filenames. This is not a
- problem on the CD but if you copy the files off onto disc then they will be
- truncated and may overwrite each other.
