ATTENTION:

When running this demo, you should avoid using screen resolutions which 
utilize Large Fonts. Although the demonstration will run on Large Font 
resolutions, the accuracy of its automated mouse movements may be adversely 
affected. This is because for Large Font screen resolutions, application 
windows are proportioned differently. The SuperJAM! demo relies on fixed 
window coordinates to orchestrate its mouse movements, and these coordinates 
become altered in Large Font resolutions. For best results, use a standard 
resolution.

1.0 - If You Encounter Sound Problems
-------------------------------------

The SuperJAM! Demo Setup program tests your current sound configuration to 
insure compatibility with the SuperJAM! Demo. If this test yields poor sound 
results you can reconfigure your setup using the Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test. 
Most sound problems which occur while running the SuperJAM! Demo can be 
easily solved by running this test. It automatically configures the SuperJAM!
Demo with the proper settings for your sound device. 


------------------------------------
1.1 - The Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test
------------------------------------

The Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test is a quick and easy way to make sure the 
SuperJAM! Demo is configured properly for use with your system. To run the 
Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test, do the following:

1. Start the SuperJAM! Demo by double-clicking on its icon in the SuperJAM!
Demo Program Group.

2. From any dialog box, click on the Stop button to halt the demonstration
script.

3. From the SuperJAM! Demo Help menu, select Test my sound card or MIDI 
setup...  

4. The test will ask you a series of questions which help to determine the 
best sound configuration for use with the SuperJAM! demo.

When you have completed the Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test, close the SuperJAM! 
Demo and then run it again. The SuperJAM! Demo should now perform properly,
playing a variety of different musical instruments throughout the course of 
the demonstration. If you run the Sound Card/MIDI Setup Test and still do not 
hear any sound, you may not have the proper driver(s) installed for use with 
your sound device. See section 3.0, "Installing Drivers," for more 
information.


---------------------
2.0 - The MIDI Mapper
---------------------

SuperJAM!, by default, adheres to the General MIDI standard. In order to 
insure sound device compatibility, SuperJAM! can be set to use the Windows 
3.1 MIDI Mapper to address your sound card or MIDI interface.  The MIDI 
Mapper basically acts as a mediator between SuperJAM! and your sound device.

NOTE: For best results, you should use the MIDI Mapper. However, you can 
enable/disable SuperJAM!'s use of the MIDI Mapper by doing the following:

1. From the SuperJAM! main window, open the Options menu.

2. Select Global... ; the Global Options dialog box opens.

3. You can enable/disable the MIDI Mapper by clicking in the Use MIDI Mapper
checkbox.


---------------------------------
2.1 - Configuring the MIDI Mapper
---------------------------------

In order to set up the MIDI Mapper for use with SuperJAM! and your sound 
device, do the following:
	
1. Open up the Control Panel by double-clicking on the Control Panel icon 
located in the Main program group in Windows.

2. Open up the MIDI Mapper by double-clicking on the MIDI Mapper icon in the 
Control Panel.  (If you do not see a MIDI Mapper icon in your Control Panel,
you probably don't have the necessary driver(s) for your sound device 
installed on your system. Refer to section 3.0 of this document titled, 
"INSTALLING DRIVERS".)

3. Inside the MIDI Mapper dialog box, make sure the "Show" area has "Setups"
selected, and then click on the New... button.

4. Inside the New MIDI Setup dialog box, name the setup "SuperJAM! Setup" 
and give it a short description, if you like.  Click on OK.

5. Inside the MIDI Setup dialog box, go to the Port Name column and select 
your sound device driver for all 16 of the boxes.  (Clicking in each of the
boxes opens up a list of available output choices.)  This will direct all of
SuperJAM!'s selected instruments to your sound device. If you do not see 
your sound device driver listed in the available output choices, you 
probably don't have the necessary driver(s) installed on your system. Refer 
to section 3.0, "INSTALLING DRIVERS".

6. When you have finished choosing output for all 16 Port Name boxes, click
on OK and save the new setup when prompted to.

7. In the MIDI Mapper dialog box, you will see the new setup listed in the 
"Name:" combo box.  Close the MIDI Mapper and run SuperJAM!. If you now hear
sound, but do not hear any drums playing, see the following section 2.2, 
"REMAPPING DRUMS." 


---------------------
2.2 - Remapping Drums
---------------------

If you hear sound coming from your sound device, but notice that there are 
no drums playing, your sound device may transmit its drums on channel 
16 instead of 10.  (Channel 10 is the General MIDI standard channel for 
drums, and is used by SuperJAM! by default. However, many sound cards use 
channel 16, instead.)  You will need to account for this inside the MIDI 
Mapper: 

1. Go back into the Control Panel and double-click on the MIDI Mapper icon 
to open up the MIDI Mapper.

2. In the MIDI Mapper dialog box, make sure the "Show" area has "Setups" 
selected, and that "SuperJAM! Setup" is selected in the "Name:" combo box. 
(If you have not already created a setup for your sound device, you must 
first do so before continuing. Refer to the previous section 2.1, 
"Configuring The MIDI Mapper.")

3. Click on the "Edit..." button.

4. Inside the MIDI Setup dialog box, go to the Dest Chan column and change 
10 to 16.  This will remap the drum parts in SuperJAM! to channel 16 to 
accomodate your sound card.

5. Click OK, and then save the setup.

6. Close the MIDI Mapper and run SuperJAM! You should now hear drums when 
the music plays.

3.0 - Installing Drivers
------------------------

In order for your sound device to communicate with your computer, a device 
driver for the device must be installed on your system.

Most sound devices include a disk which contains their device drivers. 
Windows 3.1 also includes the most common device drivers, which may be 
compatible with your sound device. If you do not have a driver for your 
device or are not sure if the drivers you have are Windows compatible, 
please contact the sound device manufacturer to obtain the latest versions.

NOTE: If you are installing a new version of a device driver which currently
resides on your system, you must first remove the old version before 
installing the new one. Refer to section 3.2, "REMOVING DRIVERS" before 
continuing with the new driver's installation.

To install a device driver, do the following:

1. Go to the Control Panel and double-click on the Drivers icon. A list of 
installed drivers appears.  If you see your sound device driver listed, you 
do not need to install it. If you do not see your device driver listed, go 
to step 4.

2. To view a list of device drivers provided with Windows 3.1, click on 
Add... If you are using a Windows-supplied device driver, select the one you
want to install and click OK. If you are not, select Add Unlisted Or Updated
Driver and click OK. The Install driver dialog box appears. 

3.  Insert the disk the driver is located on and click OK. Follow the 
instructions to set up your device driver as needed, if applicable. Make 
sure that the settings you specify do not conflict with the settings used by
other drivers in your system.
 
For example, you may run into an interrupt conflict, where two or more 
devices use the same interrupt setting. An interrupt conflict causes your 
system to work improperly. Please check the documentation accompanying each 
device to assure that your device settings do not create any problems.


------------------------------
3.1 - Changing Driver Settings
------------------------------

If for some reason you need to alter your driver settings after you've 
installed the driver, do so by going to the Control Panel again. Then double-
click on the Drivers icon to view the list of installed drivers, and select 
the driver you want to reconfigure. Click on Setup... and select the options
as needed. Keep in mind the changes you make do not take effect until you 
restart Windows.


----------------------
3.2 - Removing Drivers
----------------------

You may wish to remove a device driver from the Installed Drivers list if
you are not using the device any longer. Removing a driver from the list 
does not remove the device driver file from your hard disk, so if you ever 
need to use the device later, you will not need to install the driver again.

You may not install an updated version of a driver that is already installed
on your system. You must first remove the old driver. If you do not do this,
you will receive an error message when trying to install the new one. 

To remove a driver, double-click on the Drivers icon in the Control Panel. A
list of the currently installed drivers appears. Select the driver you want
to remove and click Remove. Once again, you need to restart Windows for this
change to take effect immediately.
