/*----------------------- Complete Installation ------------------------*/
HelpComplete:
The "Complete Installation" will copy over all DOS and Windows
applications to your system. It will also modify the SYSTEM.INI and
PROGMAN.INI files in your \WINDOWS subdirectory and the file SETUP.INF
in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. Backup copies of the files,
SYSTEM.SP1, PROGMAN.SP1, and SETUP.SP1, will be created on your system.
One main directory and seven subdirectories will be created on your
hard drive. Please refer to your Sound Producer Manual or the
Information and Help section of this diskette for more information
about each of the programs being loaded. The full installation will
take 3.5MB of hard drive space. Here is a representation of the
new structure.

Installation will only modify your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files
if you have a CD-ROM drive attached to the AT-Bus connector. The
installer will copy a DEVICE statement into your CONFIG.SYS file and
make a backup file, CONFIG.SP1. The installer will then copy an
executable statement into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and make a backup
file, AUTOEXEC.SP1.

/*-------------------- Question the user about Windows on system ----*/
HelpWinqus:
This question is asked to determine if Microsoft Windows 3.1 is
installed on your system.
If Microsoft Windows is installed, answer "YES" and the SINSTALL will
automatically modify Windows 3.1 adding the drivers and programs
directly into Windows.
If Microsoft Windows is not installed, answer "NO" and the SINSTALL
will not modify Windows 3.1. Note: The sound drivers could be
installed manually by running the OEMSETUP in the \PRODUCER\WINDOWS
subdirectory. To do that, Enter Windows and double click on the
Control Panel icon under the Main group. Double click on the Drivers
icon and click on the ADD button. From the list of options, select
Unlisted or Updated Drivers. When prompted for the location, type:
<Driver>:\PRODUCER\WINDOWS and add all three Sound Producer options.

/*------------------- Question the user about AT-Bus CD-ROM ---*/
HelpCDqus:
The question is asked to determine whether the Sound Producer Pro's AT-Bus
Connector is connected to a CD-ROM Drive. The drivers, SPCDU.SYS and
MSCDEX.EXE, must be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file
respectively on your system in order for the CD-ROM drive to work correctly.
If YES, statements will be added to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
If NO, the installer will continue.
HelpCDcomplete:
The device statement for the CONFIG.SYS is:
Device=<DRIVE>:\Producer\Utility\SPCDU.SYS /D:de-name
The /D parameter in the above statement is used to specify a device
name for the CD-ROM (de-name). You have the option to type in the
device name you want.
In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, this statement is needed execute the Microsoft
CD-ROM Extension file driver when you startup your computer:
C:\PRODUCER\DRIVERS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:de-name [/M:n][/E][/V][/L:dr-ltr]
The parameters of the above statement are defined as follows:
Parameter Description
========= ===========
/D:de-name This parameter specifies the name of the device.
This name MUST be identical to the device name
used in the CONFIG.SYS statement.
/M:n This parameter specifies the number of sector
buffers used to cache the path table of a CD-ROM
disc. Each drive should have a minimum of 4 to 5
buffers. The larger this number, the less your
PC has to read directly from the CD-ROM drive.
/E This parameter lets MSCDEX.EXE use expanded
memory if it is available.
/V This parameter displays memory usage when
starting your PC.
/L:dr-ltr This parameter is used to assign a drive letter
to the first CD-ROM drive.

/*---------------- Help for the the Windows Installation ---------*/
HelpUseWin:
Before you start any applications, we recommend that you run our
diagnostic program to verify that all the Sound Producer Pro settings
are correct (i.e. Address, Interrupt, and DMA Settings). Using the
DOS CD\ (change directory) command, change to the \PRODUCER\UTILITY
subdirectory and type the following:
<DRIVE>:\PRODUCER\UTILITY\SPSETUP <ENTER>
If you require more information, please refer to Chapter 2 of the Sound
Producer Pro User's Manual.
To run the applications, start Windows 3.1 by typing: "WIN" from your
\WINDOWS subdirectory. There will be a window called "Sound Producer
Pro". Drag the Voice Notes icon from the Sound Producer Pro window to
the Startup Group window and restart Microsoft Windows.
ALL DRIVERS WILL BE LOADED UNDER WINDOWS 3.1. If a problem occurs, you
may need to reload the sound drivers for the Sound Producer Pro. Using
your mouse, double click on the Main Group window. Double click on the
Control Panel icon. Double click on the Drivers icon. Click on the ADD

ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE LOADED UNDER WINDOWS 3.1 IN A WINDOW CALLED
"SOUND PRODUCER PRO". If a problem occurs and you need to reload
the program icons, follow the Microsoft Windows 3.1 Manual for
selecting applications and dragging them to a window.
Norton Desktop for Windows Users:

configuration, you will have to load the Windows applications
manually. Use the File Manager and drag the following EXE file
into a Window Group:
C:\PRODUCER\UTILITY\WIN-MIX.EXE
C:\PRODUCER\VOYETRA\JUKEBOX\WJUKE.EXE
C:\PRODUCER\VOYETRA\WINDAT\WINDAT.EXE
And drag the following EXE into your Start-up Group:
