-
- After using PKUNZIP, the names of the new files will be shown on the
- screen. When they are ready, the DOS prompt will appear again:
-
- ▐ C:\PHYSICS\PERIDEMO
-
- By this time the system becomes usable. You will be told now, how to
- use it: You can start the program by typing its name. If the current
- directory is which the PERIDEMO.EXE and the other necessary files are in,
- you can simply type
-
- ▐ PERIDEMO Enter
-
- After starting you can control the program by a menu system: Pressing
-

-
- This is only a demonstartion of PERIYODA, so most of the menu points
- are out of use. When choosing them, a HELP text will appear on the middle of
- the screen. You can force this HELP for the other points by pressing F1 .
- The working points are the following:
-
- ▐ - FILE SERVICES\LOAD MOVIE: for loading a movie file into memory
- ▐ - FILE SERVICES\DIRECTORY: for searching the films
- ▐ - FILE SERVICES\QUIT: for quiting the program
- ▐ - PLAY MOVIE\FROM MEMORY: for playing a film that has been loaded
- ▐ - PLAY MOVIE\FROM FILE: for loading a film and playing it at once
-
- All the films given with these programs have been created for EGA (VGA)
- graphics card, so you will get an error message when playing them on an
- other one. To be able to play them, they must be converted. The MOVCONV.EXE
- program will help you, just type the name after the DOS prompt:
-
- ▐ MOVCONV Enter
-
- You will be asked some questions:
-
- ▐ Input file: the to be converted file
- ▐ Output file: the to be created file (must be different from
- ▐ the previous one)
- ▐ Target graphics card: the type of your graphics card
