fast as it should be. If you have the disk space, we recommend installing the
programs on your hard drive to use them. You can install any of the programs
or demos at any time by repeating the installation instructions below. All
programs and demos install to default directories. If you don't have
enough disk space, the install program aborts.

Access program, or the MADEMO or USERDEMO sequences, follow these instruc-
tions:

TEMPRA VISION
Welcome to TEMPRA Vision -- the multimedia product that will take you into
the 21st Century!
Installing Special Edition in the TEMPRA Vision Package
The Special Edition of TEMPRA GIF that comes in TEMPRA Vision is 8-bit,
which uses up to 256 colors. To install the complete TEMPRA Vision program,
including the Special Edition TEMPRA GIF and TEMPRA SHOW and the story
module, follow these instructions:
1. Put the TEMPRA MEDIA CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Put the TEMPRA Special Edition disk that came with TEMPRA Vision in the
floppy disk drive and type A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL and press [Enter].
Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
3. The default drive for installing TEMPRA Vision is drive C. If you want
to install TEMPRA Vision on a hard drive other than drive C, use your
cursor keys to move the flashing cursor to select the drive you want,
then press the [Enter] key.
TEMPRA Vision installs into the C:\VISION directory without giving you
an option to change it.
4. The installation program checks to see if you have enough space on your
hard drive to install TEMPRA Vision (TEMPRA Vision requires about 35Mb).
If the space is available, all TEMPRA Vision files are installed on your
hard drive in the directory C:\VISION. If you don't have enough disk
space, you need to select a story from the story module to be copied
onto your hard drive.
5. Use the cursor keys to move the flashing bar to highlight the story you
want to install and then press the [Enter] key. The files for the story
you select are copied to the hard drive into the C:\VISION directory.
6. To start the stories from the C:\VISION> prompt, type the appropriate
command shown below:
VISDEMO (a self-running version of the entire story module)
STORY (an interactive version of the entire story module)
DAYFARM (A Day on the Farm)
UGBUZZ (Ugh and Buzz)
BUZZVAC (Buzz Takes a Vacation)
PPLAY (Paint and Play)
Installing TEMPRA Special Edition from the Book "Multimedia: Making It Work"
If you have the book "Multimedia: Making It Work," it includes a 24-bit
TEMPRA Special Edition that allows you to edit images in up to 16.7 million
colors. If you want to use the TEMPRA Special Edition that came with the
book, follow these instructions:
1. Put the TEMPRA MEDIA CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Put the TEMPRA Special Edition disk that came in the TEMPRA Vision box
in the floppy disk drive and type A:INSTALL2 or B:INSTALL2 and press
[Enter]. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
3. The default drive is drive C. If you want to install TEMPRA Vision on
a hard drive other than drive C, use your cursor keys to move the
flashing cursor to select the drive you want, then press the [Enter]
key.
4. The default directory is C:\TEMPRA. When the program asks if you want
to change the directory, use your backspace key to erase \TEMPRA and
then type \VISION and press the [Enter] key.
5. After you install the TEMPRA Special Edition from the book, you need to
copy some files from the CD-ROM into the C:\VISION directory for the
story module to work properly. To make sure you are in the right
directory, type CD\VISION and press the [Enter] key. Make sure that the
TEMPRA MEDIA CD is still in the CD-ROM drive.
Type COPY D:\VISION\*.RDS and press the [Enter] key.
Type COPY D:\VISION\*.INF and press the [Enter] key.
Type COPY D:\VISION\*.CFG and press the [Enter] key.
Type COPY D:\VISION\*.PTH and press the [Enter] key.
TEMPRA ACCESS
If you want to use a Kodak Photo CD to make stories using pictures of
your family that are stored on CD-ROM you will definitely want TEMPRA
Access on your computer. This CD contains 24 Kodak Photo CD images you
can load using TEMPRA Access. You can then save the images to hard disk
in any file format available to use in stories and graphics. TEMPRA Access
is a 24-bit program that takes advantage of the photographic quality of
the images stored on the CD-ROM. If you are using the 8-bit TEMPRA Special
Edition, the Photo CD images won't look as good as they will on a hi-color
VGA bard. If 24-bit capability is important to you, we recommend you use
the 24-bit Special Edition that came with the book "Multimedia: Making It
Work" or that you upgrade to TEMPRA PRO.
To load images from Photo CD:
1. In TEMPRA Access, move the cursor to the DSK menu and press the left
mouse button
2. Select Photo CD from the drop-down menu.
3. A contact sheet appears on the screen showing miniatures of all the
images on the CD.
4. Select an image to load.
5. A menu appears for you to select the size you want the image to be.
Select the size you want and press the left mouse button.
6. The image loads onto the screen in the selected size.
To save images onto disk:
1. Once the image is loaded on the screen, you can save it in any of the
available file formats.
2. Move the cursor to the DSK menu and press the left mouse button.
3. Select Files from the drop-down menu.
4. Make sure the Images button is highlighted and that you are in the
C:\VISION\PIC directory (or another directory you want to save your
images in).
5. Select the file format you want to save the image as. If you are using
the 8-bit TEMPRA GIF, you will want to save your image in 8-bit so
you can edit it later. If you have a 24-bit TEMPRA GIF, you can save
the image in either 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit and edit it later in
TEMPRA GIF.
If you know you will use the image in TEMPRA SHOW for a story or
presentation, make sure you save the file as either 8-bit PCX or
16-bit TGA.
6. Move the cursor to the box above the list of files in the directory
and press the left mouse button. The box changes color.
7. Type the name you want to give the picture.
8. Move the cursor to the Save button and press the left mouse button.
The menus disappear while the image is being saved. When the menus
come back, you image has been saved on the disk in the new file format.
