Requirements
------------
Any AGA Amiga with 2meg chip, and a hard disk. Fast ram is taken
advantage of, but isn't required.
Installation
------------
Pretty simple this one.. copy all the files to one directory and execute
the file called "Dreams". A HD is required - of course you could *try*
running it from a floppy disk, but I don't envy your chances of succeeding.
In any case, the program will first look in PROGDIR: followed by Dreams:
If this is to run on 2 meg machine, first hold down both mouse buttons
on startup, disable all unnecessary disk drives and partitions, and
boot with no startup sequence.
CLI Options
-----------
SystemInts Uses system interrupts (AddIntServer, SetIntVector)
instead of hardware hitting interrupts
Multitask Enables multitasking, and blitter queueing. From the
main menu use Left-Alt+Control, or Left-Amiga+Control
to switch back to the system (to return to the slideshow,
press the same key combination a second time). This option
automatically selects 'SystemInts'
HWBlit Cancels blitter queueing (this is usually set by default,
but can be used in combination with 'Multitask')
Quiet Skips all all sound output. Along with 'SystemInts' or
'Multitask' this allows you to play some different music
in the background
SkipIntro Skips the introduction sequence
MultiLoad Forces pictures to be loaded as they are seen, even if
there's enough memory to load everything at once.
SkipLoadView0 Skips LoadView(0), WaitTOF, WaitTOF (for those of us that
actually notice a two frame delay on startup.. :) )
Music
-----
If you like, different music can be loaded by specifying the path/filename
of a P61 module (better known as "The Player 6.1a" which is available
through Aminet) in parentheses.
For example: Dreams (RAM:SpaceDebris) Multiload
would read a P61 module called "SpaceDebris" from RAM: before starting.
The intro timing changes slightly if external music is read. The original
music's memory is purged in this case (as it is with 'Quiet'), so if you're
short on memory, smaller music could help.
