The IBM-compatible version of GEnie LiveWire features both key and mouse
selection. To choose an article from the Table of Contents, click on the
icon to the left of the article or press the associated alpha/numeric key.
Once an article is displayed, use the controls at the bottom of the
screen to move through the text. Alternately, press the Space Bar to
display the next screen, and Enter or Return to move to the next article.
To exit LiveWire, press the X key or click on the Exit switch.
The default is for Music On. If you wish to view LiveWire with no music
or sound you may press the "U" key or click on Music Off. You may, later,
press the "M" key or click on Music On to turn the sound back on. Music
On will also re-start the opening theme music.
Memory Requirements: A minimum of 475K available conventional DOS memory
is required to view GEnie LiveWire. To be able to view the animation
effects in this issue, your system may need at least 1 megabyte of
expanded or extended memory available. If you don't, you will still be
able to view everything but most of the animation effects.

There are four options to start GEnie LiveWire:
1. For systems with NO sound card, type LW1 at the prompt and press
enter.
2. For those with a standard Sound Blaster card 1.5/2.0 type LW2 at
the prompt and press enter.
3. For those with Sound Blaster Pro 2.0, SB16 or SB Pro 2 MCV, type
LW3 at the prompt and press enter.
4. LiveWire is MS Windows compatible. Tips for installing it are
available in the Easy Step-by-Step Instructions file for this
issue, found in the LiveWire Library on GEnie Page 20.
The batch files will load the applicable sound drivers where appropriate
and start this issue of LiveWire. Upon exiting LiveWire, sound drivers
(if loaded) will be removed.
For those without a sound card, we have included music files that will
play through your PC speaker. These PC speaker files will not play if you
have installed the Sound Blaster drivers.

Sound Card Information: The sound driver installation assumes you have set
the sound drive/path information. This is normally done in your
autoexec.bat file with a command that looks like this:
SET SOUND=[drive:\path]
You may also issue this command from the DOS command line. This tells
the batch file where the appropriate drivers are located.

If you are using MS Windows to view LiveWire, the sound may be very slow
depending on your configuration. You have two choices in this event.
Leave Windows and run from a DOS prompt or remove the sound drivers.
