|
||
DELETING A FILE. To delete a DL file without exiting to DOS you
|
||
can press DEL when this file is at the cursor.
|
||
The file won't be really deleted but just renamed to .BAK.
|
||
You can later delete *.BAK from you DOS Prompt or rename one
|
||
or more files back to .DL to restore them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
CONVERTING A FILE. DL VIEWER automatically converts old 2.0 DL
|
||
file format into the new 3.0. It will NOT convert from 1.0, so
|
||
if you still have these old animations please use DL-1TO2.EXE.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SOUND. With the 3.0 DL file format you can have music and sound
|
||
into a DL animation file. To hear it you can use your SOUNDBLASTER
|
||
if you have one or your poor SPEAKER. You can select your sound
|
||
device pressing [F2] in menu mode.
|
||
Using the SPEAKER might slow down your system if you're using a 286.
|
||
For now we're just supporting the default address 220H for the
|
||
SOUNDBLASTER card. There might be some problems if you're using
|
||
an old card version (before 2.0).
|
||
|
||
|
||
KEY SYSTEM. Some animations can be KEY PROTECTED from their author.
|
||
To view them you need to purcase their KEY. Usually you'll find
|
||
a registration form within the archive file containing the animation.
|
||
We give no warranty about these KEYs since they are created from
|
||
the DL MAKER users.
|
||
|
||
|
||
PASSWORDS. Some animation can be PASSWORD PROTECTED from their
|
||
author. Usually the PASSWORD is free and you can find it on some
|
||
Boards or from the author.
