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

This README file contains information about the sound card
drivers currently available with WordPerfect. You must have a
sound card and select a sound card driver in order to use
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 that you select inside WordPerfect. For example, if you
have a Sound Blaster Pro, you would need TAPISB.COM, VMP.COM, and
SB.ARS.

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

You can delete any .ARS and .COM files that do not pertain to
your hardware to free up disk space. 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.

The following sound drivers ship with WordPerfect. For a list of
additional .ARS files, call Customer Support.

*Due to memory restrictions associated with the Compaq Business
Audio card, it is recommended that you load this sound card
driver externally (outside of WordPerfect). Please see LOADING A
SOUND DRIVER EXTERNALLY below for more information.

LOADING SOUND DRIVERS INTO HIGH MEMORY
=================================================================
If you need more memory to run WordPerfect, you can load sound
drivers into high memory using a memory manager. These drivers
must be loaded into high memory before starting 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
WordPerfect), if necessary. To load sound drivers externally,

1 Change to the directory containing WordPerfect by
typing CD C:\WP61 (or the correct name of the directory
where you installed 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 WordPerfect.

After you have loaded the sound driver externally, be sure to
select the corresponding driver from within WordPerfect.
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 WordPerfect to match. You will
receive a hardware error if your 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.
