-
- What is it?
-
- This computer-based "magazine" is aimed at anyone with any interest
- at all in developing games, animation, music, or in fact any form of
- entertainment software for IBM and compatible computers.
-
- This magazine can be run from floppy disk, space permitting, or from
- your hard disk. It can exist in any directory, however as this is a
- regular publication, keeping each issue in a seperate directory is
- highly recommended.
-
- If installing on a hard disk, the following directory structure is
- suggested:
-
- \MAGAZINE - base level directory, empty for now
- \00000001 - issue 1 files
- \00000002 - issue 2 files
- .. etc ..
-
- To view the magazine, change to the drive and/or directory in which
- you have installed the files, and execute the batch file 'RUNME'.
-
-
- Hardware Requirements:
-
- From GDM 5 onwards, VGA and a mouse are required. For best results,
- a 512k VGA or SVGA card or better are required. For sound effects,
- a Sound Blaster or compatible card is required. A fast machine
- is also recommended.
-
- It is also recommended that you run GDM 5 onwards from a hard disk.
- (It will run from floppy, but the performance is poor).
-
- Issues 1 to 4 should execute faultlessly on just about any machine in
- existence. Please let me know if you have any problems. Programs
- bundled with the magazine may have specific hardware requirements
- and these will be mentioned within the magazine and/or documentation
- contained in those programs.
-
-
