- Notes for the DOS Abuse version :
-
-
- To get the most current version of this file point to
- http://www.crack.com
-
- You must have a mouse driver loaded to play Abuse. This will be the
- one that came with your mouse or c:\dos\mouse.sys
-
- You must have a VESA driver loaded in order to play hi-res. Most
- new cards have drivers built-in, but older card folks will need to use
- one supplied by their card dealer, or get univbe or univesa from any
- simtel mirror ftp site such as wuarchive.wustl.edu.
-
- It is recommend that you beat Abuse at 320x200 before playing
- hi-res, because you can see more than you are supposed to. This is
- basically cheating and unless you are not a gamer, you may spoil some
- of the puzzles. All the levels were designed with the 320x200 player
- in mind and hi-rez was added to assist level designers, not level
- players.
-
- That said, you can get a list of video modes that your video card
- supports by typing : "abuse -size ?" If you already know this
- information, you can type : "abuse -size 640 480" for example.
-
- When abuse first starts up it will automatically run setup.exe to
- configure your sound card. You may run setup.exe at any time and
- reconfigure your card. If you try to detect a sound card when you
- don't have one or you try to detect a card multiple times it will lock
- up and you must reboot. If setup somehow detects the wrong card, try
- to detect again and alternate detection mechanisms will be used. It's
- important that the IRQ and base port address are correct or there's
- an off chance you'll damage your hard drive.
-
- If your sound card does not work properly on the test, check to
- see that all nessasary drivers for your card are loaded and configured
- correctly. For example ProAudio Spectrum's require a driver to be
- loaded in your config.sys.
-
- If you have over 4MB it, it is recommend you run smartdrv.
-
- Note : version 0.32 & 0.33 have a problem with saving levels, to
- fix until 0.34 delete the line (setq keep_back T) from
- lisp/startup.lsp.
