DeluxePaint III Demo

                    Created by Gene Brawn for Electronic Arts


The DeluxePaint III Demo is distributed on 2 floppy disks: DPaintIII_demo1
and DPaintIII_demo2.  You can run the demo from the floppies (if you have 2 
drives) or from a hard drive (after proper installation.)  1 megabyte of 
memory is required.

ALWAYS run the demo from the workbench.

This demo is BIG and requires all of the memory on a 1 megabyte system.  If
you can't seem to get it to run, close all of the windows and background
tasks and try again.  If this fails, reboot your machine to clear out the
memory (sometimes other processes can fragment memory and this may be enough
to prevent the demo from running.)  

Installing on a hard drive

The demo can be automatically installed on a hard drive by double-clicking
the InstallHD icon on the Workbench or by typing in the file name from the
CLI.  This will create a new directory named DPaint_demo on your drive and
then transfer all of the files you'll need for the demo to this drawer.  

The player program looks for a Hard Disk device named FAST: with a drawer
named DPaintIII_demo.  You must put an additional statement in your
harddrive startup sequence for the demo to run.  Here's how you do it:

       1. Load your file "startup-sequence" into a text editor.
       2. Add ASSIGN FAST: <your hardrive's name>, i.e. HD1:, FS0:, etc.
          to the list of "assign" staements already there.
       3. Save it and run the demo.

If you don't want to make this change permanently, simply click on the 
"Shell" or "CLI" icon in the Workbench and type the same "assign" sequence
and press return.  Close the CLI and run the demo.  Unless you reboot your
machine, you won't have to do this again and you can run the demo as many
times as you wish.  

DON'T change the file or directory names, the demo will not run if you do! 

Enjoy
