=================================================================

This README file contains information about the sound card
drivers currently available with Corel Presentations. Sound
cards are listed below, along with the name of the .ARS file and
.COM file(s) that are designed to support them. Each sound card
requires an .ARS file and two or more .COM files. Each sound
card requires VMP.COM, in addition to the .COM file written
specifically for that card. For example, if you have a
SoundBlaster Pro, you would need TAPISB.COM, and VMP.COM.

Before selecting a sound card, make sure the .ARS and .COM files
have been installed into the same directory where you installed
Corel Presentations. The Corel Presentations program will find
the files and automatically display the menu choices associated
with the driver in the Sound Card Type dialog box.

Any .ARS and .COM files that do not pertain to your hardware can
be deleted to free up disk space. However, VMP.COM should not be
deleted, as it is necessary for the other .COM files to run.


LOADING SOUND DRIVERS INTO HIGH MEMORY
======================================
If you need more memory to run Corel Presentations, you can load
the sound drivers into high memory using a memory manager. These
drivers must be loaded into high memory before starting Corel
Presentations. For more information on loading sound drivers
into high memory, see your memory manager manual.

When loading, begin by loading the specific driver for your card,
then load VMP.COM. For example, if you have a SoundBlaster Pro
card, you would first load TAPISB.COM, then VMP.COM. Note: If
you are using the Adlib PC Game Card, you must load the following
drivers in this order: VAPINUL.COM, SAPIFM1.COM, VMP.COM.

Corel Presentations will recognize that the drivers have been
loaded and will not try to load them again.


SELECTING A SOUND CARD
======================
To select a sound card,

1. Choose Setup from the file menu, then choose Slide Show.

2. Choose Sound Card Type.

3. Highlight the correct sound device, then choose Select.
