Return to Zork CD-ROM version 1.1
-----------------------------------
All company or product names are trademarks or registered trademarks
or service marks of their respective owners.
1. ADLIB USERS
Return to Zork CD-ROM requires a sound card that supports digital
audio as well as music. As the AdLib card only supports music,
you will need to add a digital audio card or device to your
computer system. We offer the low-cost LifeSize Sound Enhancer,
which attaches to your printer port for digital audio. Please
contact the customer service number found in your manual for more
information.
2. ADLIB GOLD USERS
You may experience clicking or popping sounds while playing
Return to Zork CD-ROM with this audio card. Return to Zork
CD-ROM supports the DigPak sound system which is supported by
AdLib products. Please contact the manufacturer of your card to
determine the availability of updated DigPak drivers. When you
receive a new DigPak driver, copy it into the DRIVERS
subdirectory.
3. INSTALLING UNDER 386MAX
If the 386MAX memory manager is active, the installer may run
very slowly. You might want to disable 386MAX before running
INSTALL.
4. ADDITIONAL MADECD.EXE COMMAND-LINE SWITCHES
-L Move video buffers into XMS or EMS memory. Using this is
highly recommended, as it reduces the amount of conventional
memory required by about 64K bytes. Using this switch may
result in slightly decreased performance.
5. RUNNING UNDER QEMM 7.0
a. Do not use the "UMB" option in the "DOS=" line in CONFIG.SYS.
b. Change "LOADHIGH" to "LOADHI" wherever it occurs in RTZ.BAT.
c. Adding the "RH:N" option to the "QEMM386.SYS" line in
CONFIG.SYS may prevent memory problems while playing the game.
6. CD SPEED TEST
For Return to Zork CD-ROM to operate properly, your CD-ROM drive
must be able to maintain a minimum level of data throughput. To
verify CD-ROM drive performance, a utility called TESTCD has been
provided.
To invoke the utility, insert the Return to Zork CD-ROM disc and
type:
TESTCD x:
where "x" is the letter of the CD-ROM drive. TESTCD will
determine the speed of the drive and report it to you.
If the reported speed is below 150 kilobytes per second, the
quality of the walk through movies in the game may be affected.
In this case, you may prefer to disable these movies. See your
Return to Zork CD-ROM user's manual for instructions.
If the reported speed is below 100 kilobytes per second, the
quality of the character conversations in the game may be
affected.
7. OPENING MOVIE SOUNDTRACK SELECTION
On certain systems, such as those with poor CD-ROM throughput,
low processor speed, or slow VGA adapters, you may detect jumps
in the soundtrack during the opening and final movies.
To eliminate this problem, run the Return to Zork CD-ROM
installer and answer "NO" to the question, "Do you want to play a
digital soundtrack during the opening movie?" This will cause a
MIDI soundtrack to be played instead.
8. ADVANCED GRAVIS ULTRASOUND USERS
Do not use the Sound Blaster emulation driver: SBOS. The
drivers supplied with Return to Zork CD-ROM will use your
equipment directly.
If you are experiencing DIVIDE ERRORS, please look for the file
VOICEOOH.PAT in the ULTRASND\MIDI subdirectory. If this file is
not available, please contact Gravis for a patch update.
9. DISK COMPRESSION UTILITIES
You may experience difficulty installing or running Return to
Zork CD-ROM if you use any disk compression utilities such as
DoubleDisk, Stacker, DoubleSpace, etc. If you experience such
a problem, try deleting all the files in the new Return to Zork
CD-ROM subdirectory (often called \RTZ-CD). Then run a
defragmentation program and try installing again.
10. LIST OF FILES
Following is a description of all files distributed with or
