MORAY V2.0 4th January 1996 Finally, here is Moray V2.0. Although it is a lot later than I first anticipated, I'm sure the wait has been worthwhile. There have been many changes from V1.53, one of which is that I have used a different approach to the documentation. It is now tutorial-based and all MORAY features are explained in an interactive way in tutorials. Following that is a reference section that explains every menu and button in the program. I think this approach is easier for the first-time user and for the experienced user who just wants to look up something. This Archive contains the following files: README - This file MORAY.DOC - The V2.0 Manual, Tutorials and Reference MORAY.EXE - The actual V2.0 executable REGISTER.TXT - Registration instructions REGISTER.FRM - Registration form SUPPORT.TXT - Instructions on how to reach us and get support MORAY.INI - The configuration file (see MORAY.DOC) MORAY.MNU - The menu file. MRYDEFLT.COL - The default color definition file MRYTXTR.LST - The texture list MORAY should know about MRYPOV.INC - The default include file for POV-Ray scene files. MRYPOLY.INC - The default include file for Polyray scene files. MRYTXTR.MDL - The MDL file containing predefined textures. CALLMRAY.BAT - A batch file for an external Model/Render loop FILE_ID.DIZ - A BBS description of Moray V2.0. SYSxxxxy.FNT - System Fonts for various resolutions MDL/*.MDL - Various scene files POVSCN/ - The default scene directory for POV files. POLYSCN/ - The default scene directory for PI files. MDL/ - The default scene directory for MDL files. UDO/ - The default directory for UDO files. UTILS/ - This directory contains two useful utilities and a VESA testing and (MORAY relevant) benchmarking program. RAW/ - The default directory for RAW files. MAPS/ - The default directory for imagemaps and bumpmaps. To install, just copy the ZIP to your harddisk in a directory like \MORAY and unzip with the -d option (creating subdirectories). If you are updating from V1.5, it is suggested that you install to a new directory. Also, you may want to read the 'New Features in V2.0' section of the manual (page 96) and do the first tutorial which explains the new interface. After unzipping the files, please take a moment to read the Installation section of the Manual (page 11). Of interest is also the Configuration section (page 101). In order to get the highest speed out of you system, please read Section 7.4 (page 109) of the manual and try installing UniVBE V5.1 or higher on your system. I have attained a 20- to 40-fold (yes -FOLD!) speed increase on my system after installing UniVBE V5.1. See the file VESATST.TXT in the UTILS directory for details on the included VESA Test and Benchmark program. Enjoy working with MORAY V2.0!
