The following information is for those who would like to play Sierra's
"Jones In The Fast Lane" directly from the CD-ROM drive without installing
it to a hard drive or a floppy drive. These are here for quick start
purposes and contain only some common configurations. For complete
installation options, use the Install program.

To use: 
	First: Make sure that your CD-Rom drive is your current drive (e.g. D:)
	Then:  Enter 1 of the following commands:

  COMMANDS         AUDIO-OUT (SPEECH)        MUSIC-OUT (BACKGROUND)

               Installation procedure for Multimedia Windows (MPC)
               ---------------------------------------------------


From the CD (if no setup floppy is supplied with the game)
----------------------------------------------------------

   1. Insert the game CD into the CD-ROM drive.

   2. Invoke Windows.

   3. Select "Run..." from the "File" menu.

   4. Type "x:\setup" where "x" is the drive letter of your CD-ROM 
      drive.  Press Return or click "OK".

   5. The setup program will now run automatically.  It will ask
      whether you wish to output background music for a base-level
      or for an extended synthesizer (see below).  It will then
      set up a program group and program icon so that you may play
      the game. 



From the setup floppy (if it is supplied with the game)
-------------------------------------------------------

   1. Insert the game CD into the CD-ROM drive.

   2. Insert the Setup diskette into the A: drive (or B: drive).

   3. Invoke Windows.

   4. Select "Run..." from the "File" menu.

   5. Type "a:\setup" (or "b:\setup") and press Return or click "OK".

   6. The setup program will now run automatically.  It will suggest
      a directory for installation but allow you to change it if you
      wish.  It will ask you to enter the drive letter of your CD-ROM
      drive.  It will ask whether you wish to output background music
      for a base-level or for an extended synthesizer (see below).  
      It will then copy the required files to your hard disk and set
      up a program group and program icon so that you may play the game. 



                                To run the game

         Notes on system configuration
         -----------------------------

Video display drivers
---------------------
     Under the Multimedia extensions to Windows, there are a
number of video display drivers which may be used.  These may
be examined and changed by selecting the "Display" icon in the
control panel.  Sierra games require a driver which is capable
of displaying 256 colors at a resolution of 640x480 pixels.
For example, the Video 7 board with 512K memory has this capability.
Boards supplied by other manufacturers will have their own
drivers.  When a Sierra game starts up, it examines the capabilities
of the video driver you are using.  If it is not 640x480 256-color,
it displays a box with the following message:
     "Your current display driver is not a 640-by-480 256-color driver.
     Do you wish to continue?"

The title to the box will display the name of the driver you are
using.  If you choose to continue at this point, the graphics
will not be correctly displayed, and in some cases, the game may abort.


MIDI synthesizers
-----------------
     Multimedia Windows defines two types of synthesizers; 
"base-level" which includes three melodic channels and one
percussive channel, and "extended" which includes nine melodic
channels and one percussive channel.  The channel assignments
are 13 thru 16 for the former and 1 thru 10 for the latter.
You may configure the system depending upon the type of sound
equipment installed by using the MIDI Mapper in the control 
panel. Sierra's games can play music for either of these
configurations. The installation procedure allows you to
choose which is appropriate for your system. If you don't
know what type of synthesizer you have, just click on "OK"
to select the base-level synthesizer.  
     If you wish to change the synthesizer, you must re-install
the game and use the MIDI Mapper to change the channel assignments.


Memory usage
------------
     Your Windows installation guide contains suggestions for
optimizing memory usage.  Sierra has found that using non-Windows
memory managers such as QEMM may cause unpredictable results
including system crashes.
     A base-level MPC machine has sufficient memory to play
Sierra games. However, as additional applications are invoked,
less memory is available. At some point, one of the applications
will report an out-of-memory condition.  If a Sierra game runs
out of memory, you may see a message such as: "Out of hunk space",
after which the game will terminate.  To avoid this situation,
do not run numerous other applications concurrent with the game.


Windows modes
-------------
     Windows can be run in one of three modes: Real, Standard,
and Enhanced.  Sierra games will run in either Standard or Enhanced
mode, but not in Real mode.  Also, if a game is saved under one
mode, it cannot be restored under a different mode.


Color rendering
---------------
     Because of certain limitations of the Windows environment,
Sierra games run under Windows do not have the full range of
colors available that they do when run under DOS.  The difference
is usually not noticeable, but you may occasionally see parts
of some pictures which are not true colors.  If you wish to
see the true colors, then play the game under DOS.


Screen savers
-------------
     The use of screen savers which use color (such as "Mystify"
which comes with the Multimedia extensions) will cause the game
colors to be inaccurate.
