[Remove]

The Opus 'n Bill Sampler does not make changes to any of 
your .INI files or to your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files.  
It should be very easy to cleanly remove the sampler 
when you upgrade to the full-featured screen saver.

To remove the Opus 'n Bill Sampler:
a.      Ensure that the Opus 'n Bill Sampler is not running.  
	(You can do this by removing the sampler from the 
	Startup Group & restarting Windows, or by exiting 
	from Windows to DOS.)
b.      From Windows File Manager (or from DOS),
	delete the directory containing OBSAMPLE.EXE.
c.      From Windows File Manager (or from DOS),
	delete OBSAMPLE.INI from the Windows directory.


=================================================================
[NOTES]


1.      The Opus 'n Bill Screen Saver is a sound-capable 
multimedia product.  Sound will run through an installed 
sound card or through the internal speakers of your computer 
if either driver has been installed.

You can check to see if either driver has been installed by 
looking in the Control Panel in the Main Group of your 
Windows Program Manager.  

If you don't have a sound driver installed, the internal 
speaker driver can be downloaded from the Delrina forum 
under the Consumer Software Division section on Compuserve. 

From America Online, you can download the speaker 
driver file from the PC Forum, Sound & Music library.  
The filename is SPEAK.EXE. 


2.      The Opus 'n Bill Sampler is not designed to run 
while other screen savers are running.  This includes 
Intermission 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 and Screenpeace.  The sampler 
will not run modules from other screen saver products, 
although the sampler modules can be added to 
Intermission 4.0 (see instructions below).


3.      The following features have been disabled or removed 
from the full-featured Opus 'n Bill Screen Saver to create 
this sampler:

All "Start-up" Options:
	Auto-load
	Auto Blank, Using Password
All "DOS Saving" Options:
	Save DOS
	Re-Maximize 386 Enhanced DOS Session
	Blank Exclusive DOS Box
"Novell Password" Option:
	Use Novell Password
"Add" Option:
	No modules can be added to the Opus 'n Bill Sampler
"Remove" Option:
	No Modules can be removed from the Opus 'n Bill Sampler


4.      The Opus 'n Bill Sampler ships with the same Help 
as Intermission 4.0.  So, don't be alarmed if you find Help 
documented for features which don't exist in the Sampler 
(such as the disabled functions -- DOS options, Novell 
Password, etc.). 


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

Because the Opus 'n Bill Sampler does not have an Install 
program, automatic recognition of the Winfax Pro comm port 
is not supported by the sampler.  
 

		**************************

Intermission 4.0 and the full-featured Opus 'n Bill ARE able 
to recognize and intelligently monitor the comm port that 
WinFax Pro is using to enable error free faxing!

If you have been avoiding screen savers until now because 
they tend to bounce your incoming faxes, check out Delrina's 
full-featured screen savers!

		**************************


WinFax Pro owners:  If you also own Intermission 4.0 and are 
used to getting port-monitoring functionality when WinFax 
is set to receive faxes, we offer the following solution...

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

Owners of Intermission 4.0 can add the two modules 
that are included in this Opus 'n Bill Sampler!

[Adding Opus 'n Bill Sampler modules to Intermission 4.0]
a.      Unzip the OPUSNB.EXE file as instructed above.
b.      Run Intermission 4.0.
 
***The following must be done from Intermission 4.0, 
NOT the sampler!***

c.      Select the ADD button.
d.      Change to the directory containing the unzipped files.
e.      Highlight BUNGEE2.ASA and SWINGER.ASA
f.      Select the ADD button.
g.      The modules should appear in your Installed Saver list.

Known Opus 'n Bill Sampler Caveats:
*************************************

[Cirrus Logic video cards]
Users of Cirrus Logic video cards, running the Cirrus Logic 
drivers, could experience problems with the Opus 'n Bill 
Sampler. You can check to see whether you are running the 
Cirrus Logic drivers by checking the Windows Setup area in 
the Main Group.  If the Display reads "CL <code number>",  
then you are running the Cirrus Logic drivers.  You can 
avoid driver-related errors you may be having by changing 
to the Windows VGA or Super VGA driver.


[No modules installed]
If no modules are listed in the Installed Saver area of the 
Opus 'n Bill Sampler, when the time has come to "save" the 
screen you will experience a GPF (General Protection Fault).  
Reinstall the sampler, according to the Install instructions 
listed above.


[Black screen]
If the Opus 'n Bill Sampler turns the screen black instead 
of running a module, remove the "Enable Sysmonitor (CPU Activity 
Monitor)" check mark from the "Preferences" group.  
This should provide a work-around for the problem.

 
[Random screen trails during animation]
If the characters leave black lines or traces of themselves 
during the animation process, place a check mark in the 
"Optimize for 16 Color" checkbox.  This checkbox is located 
in the "Configure" dialog.


[Odd Colors]
If the characters seem to be the wrong color, place a check 
mark in the "Optimize for 16 Color" checkbox, and one in the 
"Use RealColors if Available" checkbox.  Both checkboxes are 
located in the "Configure" dialog.
