iNSTALLATION STEPS

1. iNSTALLATIN OF AN OPEN BOOK WITHOUT A SYNTHESIZER

Frist you have to install your Scanner (hardware), Windows and
finally the Open Book software. When you are prompted for a
synthesizer to install you answer "no synthesizer" for the moment.
Use if ever possible the default directory-names \WINDOWS, \CALERA
und \OPENBOOK. The driver software for HP scanners is normally
added automatically by the installation program in your
CONFIG.SYS.

If you are not visual handicapped you can now test if An Open Book
is principially working. To do so, type ob return at the DOS
prompt. Open Book should start up an work (without synthesizer
output). Do not forget to plug the copy protection into a paralell
port.

2. INSTALLATION OF THE SYNTHESIZER
A) VOXBOX / MINIVOXBOX / INFOVOX 600/700

Add the folloing line to your autoexec.bat

[DRIVE:][PATH]VOXDRV.COM /#1 /Pn /Tm

n=Number of com port [1 or 2]
m=Baudrate [normally 48]

B) README BOARD / VOX PC BOARDS / MASTERVOX / INFOVOX 500

For Infovox-cards with firmware versions lower than 3.5 install
appropriate Infovox devicee-driver [PCVOX.SYS oder MSTVOX.SYS] in
your config.sys. It is very important, to choose communication
channel 1. A /Tn value may be required on some computers:

DEVICE=[DRIVE][PATH]VOXPC.SYS /#1 (/T800)

for all other infovox cards add the folloing line to your
autoexec.bat:

[PFAD][LAUFWERK]VOXDRV.COM /#1

After re-booting you can check the communication between computer
and synthesizer. To do so you can copy an ASCII text-file to
SPEECH1. The File should end with a period. If everything is ok,
you will hear the text beeing spoken.


3. ADAPTATION OF OPEN BOOK'S CONFIGURATION

In the directory \OPENBOOK you can find the file OPENBOOK.INI.
In side of this ASCII-file there is a section starting with the
statement [FILES]. Change inside of this section the line SPEECH
from \WINDOWS into \OPENBOOK. Inside the section [SPEECH] you
enter the name of the appropriate SSIL driver [MSTV34
or INFO36FR] onto the Line DRIVER=. There should not be entered an
extension here.

Now  copy the SSIL Driver from this diskette into your directory
\OPENBOOK.


Open Book is now ready to use with Infovox Synthesizer. Start it
with ob [enter] at the DOS prompt.



Die SSIL Drivers [MSTV34.DLL und INFO36XX.DLL] are writen by me
and copyrighted. They must not be sold or given to anybody else.
May be you can obtain an offical version from Arkenstone directly.
Improovments and an simplified installation will follow.

Have fun with you Open book.

PS. The last two characters of the root of SSIL driver
Info36XX.DLL select the system's default-language. FR stands for
French. Official Infovox abreviations are used [GE = Deutsch]. If
you want to change the driver to German default language for
example, you rename it to INFO36GE.DLL.
