THE RISC DISC
Before running the Risc Disc you may need to update your System with the
Sysmerge utility which is in the Install directory.
If you intend to run the EMPIRE demonstration you will also need to copy the
!ARWork application out onto your hard disc. (Your hard disc needs to have
approximately 6MB free).
To run this CD click on the !RiscDisc icon and you will be presented
with an interactive guide to the contents of the CD.
This CD is designed to run under Risc OS 3.5 on a Risc PC with 4MB DRAM and at
least 1MB VRAM.
The main exception to this is the Risc PC demo from Acorn which requires at
least 8MB DRAM and 2MB VRAM. Some applications are also designed to run under
Risc OS 3.1.
Some contents of the disc are designed to be copied onto hard-disc before
use. But the primary aim is that the CD should avoid the need for you to hold
demos and utilities etc on your hard disc.
The contents of this disc have been scanned using !Killer Version 1.800 from
Pineapple Software for all currently known viruses.
Where possible we have tried to ensure that all programs use common resources
but you may find that if you are running a number of different demo's
successively that conflicting versions of some modules are loaded by different
applications. All applications have been tested to run individually but it is
impossible to check every possible combination of applications.
To avoid problems with filenames not conforming to ISO formatting on the CD you
will notice that some applications are in ArcFS archives rather than normal
directories. These are uncompressed Archives which may be opened as normal by
double-clicking. All the software on this disc may be run either using the
front end pages in the !RiscDisc application or directly from the CD. You may
even find hidden applications which we have forgetten to include on the
!RiscDisc pages!! Sorry, no prizes if you do find any we've missed off.
