Welcome! Welcome, once again, to another release of Twilight! As more and more software (games in particular) is getting Windows only and to celebrate our 10th release we felt it was time for a change. So it's "Twilight goes Windows" from now. Of course everything you liked about Twilight like easy installation, 100% virus free, screen shots, the famous various section etc. is still here. There are two versions of the Windows menu, a 32-bit version for Windows 95/NT and a 16-bit version for Windows 3.x. The 16-bit version is menu311.exe in the root directory of the CD. As less and less software these days will run on Windows 3.x we strongly recommend that Windows 3.x users upgrade to Windows 95 or NT. Windows 95 can be found on Twilight 7, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation on Twilight 5. In the future we will not continue to support Windows 3.x (even Microsoft doesn't) and any enhancements to the menu will only be implemented in the 32-bit version. If you want just a quick peek at the list of programs and don't bother about the screenshots, then you can also start the Windows 3.x version (menu311.exe) from Windows 95, as we left the screenshots out of that version. We hope you'll all enjoy this great collection of software! The Wares To be able to fit as many games as possible on one CD, we have compressed nearly all games; Most of them are already big enough! Fortunately, uncompressing these games is extremely easy from the Twilight menu. Just select the drive where you want it to go and click Install. And the game of your choice is uncompressed, and you're ready to go. As for applications, 95% is left uncompressed for easy installation. However, sometimes it's better to compress an application; But this is an exception and is done with about 5% of all programs! Practically every application has its own setup/installation-utility, in contrast to our previous DOS menu installation can now be performed directly from CD menu. You can directly start an applications setup/installation-utility from the menu by clicking the Install button. Betas?! A beta-version of a game or application is a rare thing on Twilight. However, sometimes we decide to put one on; We keep the following rules in mind deciding whether to do so or not: - The program should have an extreme appeal to a lot of people, i.e. newsgroups are already being created on the Internet; - It's stable (we test it as accurately as possible); - The full version is scheduled for release sometime near the End Of Time. The \VARIOUS-Directory When compiling this CD, we came across a lot of files which were not suitable for inclusion in the main list. However, we figured that these files might be of interest to many people since these usually include trainers, cracks, solves, docs, utilities and usefull things. We selected the most interesting files and put them together in the \VARIOUS-directory of the CD. Please note though, that we did NOT check any of these files! A list of all files in the \VARIOUS-directory with a short description (in most cases just the full name of the program) can be viewed by selecting the various tab in the menu. You can extract the file to a directory of your choice by clicking the install button. The Twilight Installer/Menu The Twilight Installer enables you to easily select and unpack a program. Some of its features are: - Online Help-Service (you're reading it); - Screenshot-viewing; - Simultaneous viewing of the menu and installing - Simultaneous installing of multiple programs to different destinations - Auto-checking for free diskspace; - Paste&Copy serial numbers When you have selected a program you want to install click on the install button. If it is program that is packed it will be extracted to drive you selected using the drive selector which will also indicate if you have enough free space on that drive. When you selected a program that is not packed on the CD then the apropriate setup program will be launched. In some cases you have to extract to a directory that is specific to your system, you then will be prompted with a directory selector. When you browse through the list the screenshots will automatically appear. If a title has more than one screenshot you can view them using the [<<] and [>>] buttons. When you've selected a title and launched it's installation process by clicking the install button, you can continue browsing through the menu and install other titles as you wish. Some (mostly windows applications) require you to fill in a serial number during or after installation. If so then the serial number is included in the description of the program. Use you're mouse to select it and then press Ctrl-C to copy it into the clipboard buffer. When prompted for the serial number make sure the cursor is active in the right box and press Ctrl-V to paste the number from the clipboard. This will save you remembering or writing down the serial number. Not Enough Free Diskspace? The installer will automatically check if there's enough free diskspace on the selected harddisk. If a program that is unzipped needs additional installation then the required size that is indicated is that of the -final- installation, not the intermediate files. Programs that have to be installed using their custom installation-program quite often offer a variety of different installation-options the size that is indicated is the size that is required for a Typical,Default or common installation. TL.EXE: Twilight Easy Installation We included a small program called TL.EXE with most games that run in a DOS mode. It enables you to select common operations, such as Setup or Run Game from a menu. Make your choice using the cursor-keys and push Enter to select. Also available with some titles is Read Documentation; We included a small doc-file with some, giving you information on how to install, trouble shooting or anything else that might be of importance. So make sure you take a look at it! In some cases a TL.BAT is provided instead of a TL.EXE so just TL and you'll be OK. Please note that TL.EXE is never included with a Windows-only game. Software Testing We tested ALL programs on a couple of different systems with totally different configurations (CPU, Memory, Network, Harddisk, OS, etc.). We have found all programs to work perfectly, but it is possible that you run into trouble. If you do, please read the Troubleshooting-section later on. There are millions of different PCs out there... Some people told us that they couldn't get certain games to work. Once again we say that all games work on our machines. So if a game doesn't run, first read DOCS&NFO\TL.TXT to see if there are hints for installing and running a program. Sometimes you have to disable QEMM, for example. If the Troubleshooting-section didn't help either, then it's probably not our fault but the programmers of the game's problem! Some people are still forgetting to read TL.TXT; Please read it before you claim a game doesn't run. Virus Checking We have performed virus-checking with the latest versions of: - Thunderbyte Anti-Virus (TBAV); - McAfee Scan; - F-Prot; - Dr Solomon's Toolkit. This CD is 100% free of any known viruses; It's absolutely impossible for any known virus to make it through to the final version of the CD! As stated above, we scan with the latest versions of the best virus-scanners; Only if all scanners are unable to detect a certain virus, we're defenseless. Since we also use heuristic scanning, that's not very likely to happen. Got A Problem?! This section is intended as a trouble-shooting guide; It tries to give you some advice if you cannot get a program to work. - Your joystick can't be calibrated. A lot of windows games don't have the of calibrating your joystick. This has to be done from the Windows control panel. Select Setting->Control Panel from the Windows Start menu and double click Joystick and then calibrate it. - The game you're trying to run needs DirectX, it's on the CD install it. - Some games require "Z" technology, ie your Z drive has to be available for SUBSTing. Put LASTDRIVE=Z in your CONFIG.SYS to fix this. Formerly we would use the A drive for substing but this disables access to your floppy drive, so we changed it. Also make sure SUBST.EXE is in your path (eg. your DOS-directory). - If you're immediately getting a PKUNZIP returned an error while depacking error when trying to unZIP a program, you're probably low on memory. Try freeing up some more conventional memory (memory below the 640K border) before trying again. - Trying to run a program which requires 8 MB of memory when you've only got 4 doesn't make sense. - If you're low on diskspace, try removing some files. Some programs (especially under Windows!) require some free diskspace to fiddle around with. - Try increasing the FILES= statement in your CONFIG.SYS. - Remove SMARTDrive. Please! :) - If you're using Windows, put the Windows-directory in your path. - Try using many different startup-files (CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT)! Here are some suggestions: - Change memory-managers. Change QEMM to EMM386 and vice versa. - Use only HIMEM.SYS. - Try using no startup-files at all (clean boot). To do this, push Left-Shift at bootup. - Remove all TSRs from your startup-files (or at least the ones you don't really need). Quite often they take up a big chunk of vital memory, or they cause a conflict. - If a network is not required, disable it. - Remember to setup your soundcard properly! If you get it wrong, it might just crash your machine. Many sound-setup programs offer some sort of auto-detection; However, if this process crashes your machine you have to set the parameters manually. - If the program doesn't work under Windows, you're in for a heck of a time! ;) Some causes of problems are: - Device conflicts; - Low on memory (try increasing the swapfile-size); - Missing DLLs or incomplete installations. Also try tuning your .INI-files if you're using Win3.X. Next Release Of Twilight We're hoping to release The Eleventh One very soon. A lot of good programs are about to be released. You can be assured we're only releasing issue 11 when enough good programs have arrived. And also expect our new Windows menu to be fine-tuned as we did with the DOS menu. Also, be aware of cheap imitations! Only the real Twilight brings you the real quality you're used to get from us. If anybody copies our name, we will publish their full information on our next release. Thanks N' Greets We hope you enjoyed this release of Twilight. We think the step to a Windows based menu is a step formward in the continuing Twilight series. As stated before, lots of good programs/games will be released shortly so we'll see you very soon again on Release 11! Until then: Enjoy!
