User Guide

In addition, you may copy two more sets of files from the CD to your hard drive.

Generally, the more files you can store on your hard drive, the faster the game will run.

The drawback is that you use more space on your hard drive. Select the installation

method that works best for you. The two sets of additional files, along with how much

space they would occupy on your hard drive and which systems we recommend them for

are:

OPTION HARD DRIVE SPACE OPTIMAL FOR

COPY ADDITIONAL EXECUTABLES 2 MEGS SINGLE SPEED CD DRIVES

COPY TREE 9 MEGS 4 MEGS RAM

Players using double speed CD drives and who have at least 8 megs of RAM might

notice slight improvement in performance by copying these additional files to their hard

drives.

Of course, it is possible to transfer both sets of additional files. This combination

(including basic files) occupies less than 12 megs on your hard drive and is

recommended for players with single speed CD drives and only 4 megs of RAM.

Note: It is possible to transfer all files from the CD to your hard drive, but this is not

given as an option because doing so fills over 150 megs on your hard drive. If that is

really how you want to play the game, install the basic executables using any option

given above. Then go to you CD drive prompt, and type:

XCOPY *.* C:\(Strike directory)

This will take quite a while, and we definitely do not recommend it.

10. The install program copies files to your hard drive.

11. When the installation is complete and you are ready to play, go to the Strike

directory on your hard drive. (If you accepted our default suggestion, this directory is

SC.) Type

SCCD to get a menu of games, and select the game you want to play (STRIKE

COMMANDER

or TACTICAL OPERATIONS) from this menu.

CHANGING YOUR CONFIGURATION

If you ever add a sound card or change from one card to another, simply re-run the

installation program from your hard drive. (You would re-run the install program from

the CD only if you were totally replacing the game.)

RE-INSTALLING

Should you find it necessary to re-install Strike Commander, we recommend that you

first delete all the files in the Strike Commander directory except any files with the .SAV

or .TO1 extensions (these are your Strike Commander and Tactical Operations saved

games, respectively). The install process will not write over them.
