- CHRISTMAS TREE PROGRAM FOR THE IBM-PC.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- --------------------
- 1. IBM-PC or compatible with at least 64k of memory
- 2. A color graphics monitor
- 3. PC-DOS (version 1.0 or higher) and the BASICA interpreter
-
- INSTALLATION AND OPERATION:
- ---------------------------
- 1. Copy both TREE.BAS and TREE3.BAS program files onto a disk(ette)
- containing DOS and the BASICA interpreter.
-
- 2. Start the program from DOS by typing: BASICA TREE
-
- 3. While the program is running:
- The F10 key toggles music on/off.
- The F9 key exits to DOS.
-
- NOTES:
- ------
- 1. The software is actually 2 BASIC programs. TREE.BAS runs
- first and then CHAINS to TREE3.BAS. They Need each other!
-
- 2. On an IBM PC/XT/AT, you should have no difficulty with the
- programs. However, you should note that the ticking sound
- of the grandfather clock is created by turning the cassette
- port on and off. XT's and AT's don't have this port and so
- no sound is produced.
- On some compatibles, the ticking feature has caused problems.
- If this is the case with your machine, try changing lines
- 1401 and 22130 in TREE3.BAS to REMARK statements and run
- again.
-
- 3. The Hercules monochrome graphics board has been shown to work.
