it has circulated through. These files will do no harm to Fire in the
Soul and will not inhibit it from running properly.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3 - Fire in the Soul's System Requirements
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
To run Fire in the Soul you will need the following hardware:
A 386SX or above processor
A VGA or above monitor
A Gravis Ultrasound, Sound Blaster or 100% compatible audio card.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4 - How to Setup Fire in the Soul
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Setting up Fire in the Soul is easy. Simply expand the distribution archive
to any directory and type FITS from the DOS prompt to run it. Please take
note of two things though:
1. The name of the distribution archive should be FITS12.ZIP. However, some
bulletin boards have their software setup to convert archives to a different
type after they are uploaded. In this case, the distribution archive may be
called something like FITS12.ARJ or FITS12.LZH, but the letters before the
extension should never change from FITS12. If this is the case, please
contact Immortal Software Productions by using one of the methods detailed in
the ISPINF??.TXT file which should have been included with Fire in the Soul.
Remember that there will have been no distribution archive if you received
Fire in the Soul on a disk.
2. MusicDiscPlayer (MDP) will NOT run under Microsoft Windows. If you
attempt to run it under this environment, it will say that no sound card was
detected. We have also not tested MDP with the OS/2 operating system so it
may or may not work under that environment.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
5 - Using the MusicDiscPlayer (MDP) Menu/Player System
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The MusicDiscPlayer (MDP) system is an easy to use interface for music disks
that was designed and programmed by Future Crew. Using it is easy:
1. Press the up and down arrow keys to select the song that you wish to play
and press Enter on that song to play it.
2. Press ESC to switch between the menu and the player.
3. Press F7 to shell to DOS. *
4. Press F10 to quit MDP.
5. Press + or - to increase or decrease the player volume. *
6. Press S to switch between mono and stereo playing mode. *
7. Use the left and right arrow keys to move forwards or backwards through
a song's patterns.
Note: Items marked with a * can only be performed from within the player.
