STORYMAKER+ Shareware Program by Elson Embry
If you don't have the STORYMAKER+ shareware program you can obtain a
copy through your local shareware vendor, BBS, or include $2.00 to cover
shipping and handling and Billy Bear will send you the current version.
Please specify EGA or VGA version. (STORYMAKER* VGA 1.0 available soon!)
INITIALIZING THE PROGRAM
If installing from a floppy disk with the auto-install files:
Insert disk in drive A: (or B:)
Type A: Enter
Type GOBILLY Enter
To run storybook (if installed at subdirectory BBXMAS1):
Type CD \BBXMAS1 Enter
Type BBXMAS Enter
TO HEAR THE .CMF MUSIC
To run .CMF music, a Sound Blaster sound card - driver SBFMDRV.COM
must be in resident before running the storybook.
Check your Sound Blaster directory [example used - SB], to see if
there is SBFMDRV.COM listed. To check the directory do the
following - If your Sound Blaster [SB] is in the C: drive
Type C: Enter
Type CD\SB Enter
Type DIR Enter
Now look for SBFMDRV.COM
If you see this listed, go back to the storybook directory. We
have made a BB.BAT file which will install the sound driver for
and also run the storybook:
Type C: Enter
Type CD\BBXMAS1 Enter
Type BB Enter
Now when you open the storybook, you should hear .CMF music.
If you don't hear the .CMF music, the drive and/or directory
information may need to be changed. You need a text editor
utility to edit the file (later versions of DOS has the EDIT
utility, or if you have Windows, use its Notepad utility).
For example, if you have EDIT:
Type C: Enter
Type CD\BBXMAS1 Enter
Type EDIT BB.BAT Enter
The DOS editor will now come on your screen. The BB.BAT is set to
find the SB\SBFMDRV on the C: drive, if your Sound Blaster [SB]
is on another drive, change the C: to that drive.
Example: BB.BAT as distributed reads:
C:\SB\SBFMDRV
BBXMAS
C:\SB\SBFMDRV /U
My second drive is D:, so I would change it to:
D:\SB\SBFMDRV
BBXMAS
D:\SB\SBFMDRV /U
Make a similar change on the SB if your SBFMDRV.COM is located
than the SB directory.
Click on SAVE to save your changes.
Read your Sound Blaster book for more information if you still can not
hear the .CMF music in the storybook.
