****************** A NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS ******************
The Multimedia Workshop is now Windows-friendly! To install
The Multimedia Workshop in Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or
3.1:
1. Copy the files from this disk to a sub-directory of your
choice on your hard disk.
2. Start Windows and click the top of the main window
(program group) in which you want to include The Multimedia
Workshop, to activate the group.
3. Select NEW from the FILE menu. For Program Description
type: MW. For Command Line type: C:\YOURDIRECTORY\MW.EXE,
where C: is your hard disk, and YOURDIRECTORY is the
subdirectory in which you have copied The Multimedia Workshop
files. Then click on CHANGE ICON. In the ICON file box type
C:\YOURDIRECTORY\MW.ICO. And that's it. If you are not
experienced with Windows, you may have to try it a couple of
times to get everything right. After installation you can
simply double click on the The Multimedia Workshop icon to
start the program.
4. You can use this same procedure to install MSHOW, with the
provided icon MSHOW.ICO.
NOTE: When WINDOWS is juggling several programs, the sound
effects may be distorted. If so, adjust 100% processing time
to The Multimedia Workshop, or multi-task less programs.
*********************** MULTI-TASKING ***********************
If you are using MS-WINDOWS or other multi-tasking software,
you may notice that the sound effects and animations
occasionally get screwy if you are multitasking several
programs. This is because multitasking is done by quickly
switching one program and then another to the attention of
the CPU. Sound effects get chopped up in all programs. In
other words, It's them, not us! In WINDOWS and perhaps in
the other multi-tasking programs, it is possible to
reproportion the amount of time allowed to each program.
Anything that runs sound, like The Multimedia Workshop,
should get 100% CPU attention when running in the foreground.
In Windows, this is the second window under PROPERTIES.
