Loading Software And Games - AMSTRAD cpc 6128 User Instruction

Part 5: Loading Software and
games ....
Welcome to those of you who skipped here from the beginning of the previous section!
As a quick demonstration ofthe speed ofloading disc software, switch on the system,
then insert Side 4 of your master
CP/M
discs package into the drive (i.e. the label 'Side
4' should be uppermost).
Type in:
run
11
r
0
i n t i me. de m
11
[RETURN]
After a few seconds the program will have loaded into the memory. Answer the
question on the screen as to whether you are using a green monitor; (Type Y for Yes,
or N for No), and you will then see a continuous demonstration of the game 'Roland in
Time' on the screen.
It
may even persuade you to go out and buy a copy ofthe game!
When you have finished watching the demonstration, you may 'escape' from the
program by simultaneously holding downthe [CONTROL] and [SHIFT] keys then
pressing the [ESC] key. This has the effect of completely resetting the computer, and
may be used whenever you wish to start afresh. (You do not need to remove any disc
from the drive when resetting the computer in this way).
If the program hasn't loaded, study any error message on the screen to see where you
went wrong:
Drive A: disc missing
Retry, Ignore or Cancel?
.... means that you have either not inserted your disc correctly, or, if you have a
2-drive system, that you have inserted it into Drive B.
ROINTIME.DEM not found
.... means that you have either inserted the wrong disc, (or the wrong side of the disc),
or you have not carefully and precisely typed in the name, R 0 I N T I ME. DE M
Bad command
.... means that you have probably mis-typed R 0 I N T I ME. DE M by introducing an
unwanted space or punctuation mark.
