CHRISTMAS TREE PROGRAM FOR THE IBM-PC. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: -------------------- 1. IBM-PC or compatible with at least 64k of memory 2. A color graphics monitor 3. PC-DOS (version 1.0 or higher) and the BASICA interpreter INSTALLATION AND OPERATION: --------------------------- 1. Copy both TREE.BAS and TREE3.BAS program files onto a disk(ette) containing DOS and the BASICA interpreter. 2. Start the program from DOS by typing: BASICA TREE 3. While the program is running: The F10 key toggles music on/off. The F9 key exits to DOS. NOTES: ------ 1. The software is actually 2 BASIC programs. TREE.BAS runs first and then CHAINS to TREE3.BAS. They Need each other! 2. On an IBM PC/XT/AT, you should have no difficulty with the programs. However, you should note that the ticking sound of the grandfather clock is created by turning the cassette port on and off. XT's and AT's don't have this port and so no sound is produced. On some compatibles, the ticking feature has caused problems. If this is the case with your machine, try changing lines 1401 and 22130 in TREE3.BAS to REMARK statements and run again. 3. The Hercules monochrome graphics board has been shown to work. ------------------------------------------------ Merry Christmas from Gregory & Cathleen Horne!!! ------------------------------------------------
