The minimum software requirement for SCHOOL-MOM PLUS is DOS 2.1
or higher. The minimum hardware requirements are 640K of RAM, a
hard drive and VGA graphics. This software may not run on the
PCjr or with some graphics cards that are not 100% IBM PC
compatible.
To install the program on a hard drive type INSTALL then press
ENTER. Choose the INSTALL ON HARD DISK option and follow the
instructions. This version must be installed on a hard drive to
operate correctly.
If you have a soundblaster card this program should talk with
real human voice (only if you have the voice turned on in School-Mom).
If you're running this program under Windows you'll find that
the voice is garbled or varies in speed. This is a DOS program.
To run it properly you need to exit Windows then run the program.
Remember, just going to the DOS prompt in Windows isn't exiting
Windows. Windows is still running in the background, using up
CPU time and making your DOS programs run sluggishly.
If you have a Soundblaster (tm) card this program requires that
the DMA settings in your autoexec.bat file be:
A220 D1 I7 T1
The command in your autoexec.bat may look like this:
SET BLASTER=A220 D1 I7 T1
The program may lockup your computer if these settings are different.
To escape you'll have to reboot your computer. If this happens, and
you are, for some reason, unable to change the settings shown above,
the next time you run School-Mom press the F2 key during the first
opening screen. This will disable the Soundblaster support. You'll
have to do this each time you run the program.
If you find that the mouse doesn't work while in School-Mom and
it does under Windows, you haven't installed a mouse driver for
your DOS programs.
Enjoy!
