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

This README file contains information about sound card drivers
currently available with Corel WordPerfect. You must have a
sound card and select a sound card driver in order to use
Corel WordPerfect's sound capabilities.

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 a sound driver (a .COM file written
specifically for that card) and VMP.COM, in addition to the .ARS
file you select within Corel WordPerfect. For example, if you
have a Sound Blaster Pro, you would need TAPISB.COM, VMP.COM,
and SB.ARS.

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

To free up disk space, you can delete any .ARS and .COM files
that do not pertain to your hardware. However, do not delete
VMP.COM, since it is necessary for the other .COM files to run.

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

1. Choose Sound Clip from the Tools menu, then choose Sound
   Setup.

2. Choose Type.

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

4. Choose Hardware Setup and change any settings as necessary.
   Choose OK when finished.

5. Choose Close until you return to the main screen.

*Due to memory restrictions associated with the Compaq Business
Audio card, it is recommended that you load this sound card
driver externally (outside of Corel WordPerfect). See "Loading A
Sound Driver Externally" below for more information.

LOADING SOUND DRIVERS INTO HIGH MEMORY
======================================
If you need more memory to run Corel WordPerfect, you can load
sound drivers into high memory using a memory manager. These
drivers must be loaded into high memory before starting Corel
WordPerfect. You can automatically load sound drivers each time
you turn on your computer by placing the commands for loading a
sound driver externally in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (see "Loading A
Sound Driver Externally" below).

For more information on loading your sound drivers into high
memory, see your memory manager manual. For more information on
editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, see your DOS manual.

LOADING A SOUND DRIVER EXTERNALLY
=================================
All sound drivers can be loaded externally (outside of Corel
WordPerfect), if necessary. To load sound drivers externally;

1. Change to the directory containing Corel WordPerfect by
   typing "CD C:\COREL\WP62" (or the correct name of the
   directory where you installed Corel WordPerfect), then
   press Enter.

2. If using an AAPI driver, type VAPINUL, then press Enter.

3. Type the name of the .COM file that corresponds with your
   sound card, followed by /IRQ:x /ADDR:x (where x is the
   Interrupt Request Level first and the Base Address
   (Hexadecimal) second), then press Enter.

   For example, if you have the Sound Blaster card, type
   TAPISB.COM /IRQ:7 /ADDR:220, then press Enter.

4. Type VMP, then press Enter.

5. Type WP and press Enter to start Corel WordPerfect.

After you have loaded the sound driver externally, be sure to
select the corresponding driver from within Corel WordPerfect.
Corel WordPerfect will recognize that the drivers have been
loaded and will not try to load them again. See steps under
"Selecting A Sound Card" above for details.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
=========================
If you've changed the factory default settings of your sound
card, change the settings in Corel WordPerfect to match. You
will receive a hardware error if your Corel WordPerfect settings
don't match your sound card settings.

When listening to a sound clip, you must have a card that
supports the sample rate of the recorded clip. For example, if a
sound clip was recorded at a sample rate of 44.1kHz, it cannot be
played with a card that only supports up to 11kHz.
