Deluxe PhotoLab Demo V3.1

      Created by Gene Brawn for Electronic Arts


PhotoLabDemo is distributed on 2 floppy disks: PLdemoI and PLdemoII. 
You can run the demo from the floppies ( if you have 2 drives ) or from a
hard drive ( after proper installation.)  See below for instructions.


Warm booting
  
If you do a warm boot, be sure that PLDemoI is the boot disk and PLdemoII
is in any other drive.

When you make backup copies, be sure to rename the copies with the same
names as the originals.

Installing on a RAM drive

The demo can be automatically installed on a RAM drive by double-clicking
the InstallRAM icon or by "executing" the file from CLI. This will transfer
to you RAM drive all of the files you'll need in order to tun the demo. You
need at least 2 megabytes of RAM to use this RAM drive feature. If the
demo crashes while running from the RAM drive, then you probably don't have
enough memory.

Installing on a hard drive

The demo can be automatically installed on a hard drive by double-clicking
the InstallHD icon or by "executing" the file from CLI.  This will transfer
to your HD all of the files you'll need in order to run the demo. If you
wish to change any of the parameters, use an ASCII text editor (ED, EMACS,
etc) to change the directory or file names.

The HD install program comes with a batch file and an icon (ICONX must be
present in your c: dir or on the demo disk in order to run it from the WB. 
"InstallHD" handles this automatically.)   "InstallHD" simply "assigns" the
floppy disk device names to the name of the sub-directory containing the
PhotoLab demo files.  You may edit this batch file (PhotoLabDemoHD) with any
ASCII text editor, i.e ED or EMACS, if you don't like the setup.

Be sure to change the "default tool" box in the icon's ".info" file (via
the "info" selection in the WB menu) to reflect any changes in location of
program "x."  See the current setting for an example.


Running from the CLI

   a. When :c is assigned to a hard drive, insert the "PLdemo" disks
      in any 2 drives.  <CD> to PLdemoI: and type <PhotoLabDemo>.

   b. Without a hard drive - Not recommended.  But if you must...

      Put PLdemoI in your 2nd drive.  <CD> to PLdemoI:.
      Type <PhotoLabDemo>...wait 

      When the black & white "Electronic Arts presents" screen appears, 
           put the PLdemoII disk in the internal drive; the demo will run 
      normally from here on.  

      If you forget to put the second disk in the drive, the demo will
      halt the first time it needs something from this disk (about 3/4
      of the way through the demo) and prompt you with a system 
      requester.   This doesn't hurt anything...the demo will continue
           running normally as soon as both disks are present.

Memory

You'll need about 350K of "chip" memory and about 350K of "fast" memory
in order to run the demo.  If you don't have enough memory you'll get an
error message before the program begins to run.  Free up as much as you can
and try again.

On the whole, it's probably better not to multi-task while running the
PhotoLab demo.


  
Enjoy.
