Putt-Putt Joins the Parade(TM)
IBM(R) Reference Card

This reference card contains information specific to running 
Putt-Putt Joins the Parade on your IBM system.  For more details 
on the game itself, please see the inside front cover of the 
Junior Adventure's Handbook(TM).

How to Install

Putt-Putt Joins the Parade requires just under 10M of free hard 
drive space and 550K of free conventional RAM to run.

Place Disk 1 in your A: or B: drive, and type A:INSTALL or 
B:INSTALL respectively.  After a few seconds, you are given an 
option of choosing which drive and directory to install the game 
into (this document assumes your are using the default directory 
of PUTTPUTT).  After selecting the directory, the installation 
will begin.  Switch disks according to the on-screen prompts.

Sound Support

When the installation is complete, you will be asked to select a 
sound device. Putt-Putt Joins the Parade supports a wide variety 
of sound cards and add-on devices for speech and music.  The 
quality of the speech and music can vary significantly depending 
on both the device you have and your computer.  When selecting a 
sound configuration, please keep the following things in minde:

Running on slower machines
A loss of speech quality may result when using the internal PC 
speaker, AdLib, Disney Sound Source, or Covox Speech Thing on a 
machine with a clock rate of less than 25MHz.  If this happens, 
select a sound configuration that does not include music.

Launching from Windows
We don't recommend launching Putt-Putt Joins the Parade from 
Windows unless you are using eiher a SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster 
Pro, ProAudio Spectrum or other supported cards that use DMA.  
Any other cards or add-on devices may experience significant 
sound quality loss if launched from Windows.

Windows may not allow Putt-Putt Joins the Parade access to the 
selected sound card if a Windows driver for that sound card has 
been installed from the Windows control panel.  If this happens, 
either de-install the Windows sound card driver or run 
"Putt-Putt" from outside Windows.

When you start up the game be sure to use our supplied PIF file.  
Failure to use the PIF file may result in a loss of music, sound 
effects, and/or the game failing to run properly.  The PIF file 
assumes that the game was installed in the directory PUTTPUTT: if 
you choose a different directory you will need to edit the PIF 
file.

Changing sound cards
You may change the sound card configuration at any time.  To do 
so, type INSTALL from your PUTTPUTT directory.  You will be 
prompted with a choice to "Change Sound Card".  Select this 
option and choose a different sound card.
