COMPTON'S MME AND THE TANDY 2500XL/2

The Compton's Multimedia Encyclopedia is capable of playing digitized 
sounds through the internal speaker of the 2500XL/2, just like it does on 
the Tandy 2500XL.  Due to an installation anomaly, you will have to modify 
the batch file that runs the encyclopedia to make it work properly. You 
will have to do this in your stores and for your customers who complain of 
their sound not working on their Tandy 2500XL/2 until we can get the 
program modified by the publisher.

The fix is very simple and can be done from within DeskMate:

1. Go into DeskMate and load the text program.

2. Press the F2 file open box, and type, "C:\CME.BAT" in the file name box.
   You are now looking at the batch file.

3. Add the following line after the command line that begins with the word

   "Mark": IbmPlayt /d 004

4. The file should now look like this:

              C:
              CD C:\COMPTONS
              Mark > Nul
              IbmPlayt /d 004
              F:JOS_TSR0.EXE F: F: C:\COMPTONS -S -DI
              JMI.EXE
              Release > Nul

5. Press the <ESC> key to bring up the exit and save changes dialog box.
   You should say yes to save the changes you just made.

6. Reboot the machine and you are ready to enjoy digital sound with 
   Compton's MME and the Tandy 2500xl/2.
