                    GENERIC-MOD INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Before using GMOD, follow these important steps:

GMOD CONFIGURATION: (Performed only once)

Using  GMOD is a straight forward intuitive process.   However,   prior  to
using the program, YOU MUST RUN THE CONFIG PROGRAM (only once) so that GMOD
will recognize and use your sound card properly.   Follow these easy steps:

Copy (or unZIP)  all of the program files into an empty directory.   At the
DOS prompt, type "CONFIG" and press ENTER. Step through each menu selection
until all choices are completed,  i.e.   identify your sound card from  the
available  choices.    Most compatible sound cards will emulate  the  Sound
Blaster  Pro.   If you are not sure,  make your selection and use the  TEST
option  to determine success or failure.   Once your have made all of  your
selections,  select "SAVE..." and  press  ENTER.  A configuration file will
be created in the current directory.   This configuration file,  along with
one  of  the included ".MSE"  files are  BOTH required in order for GMOD to
run.

GMOD  will  only  play music files that have been  converted  to  the  .GDM
format.    Some preconverted files are included so that you make play  them
immediately after creating your configuration file.  If you have any of the
supported module music files (MED, STM, ULT, S3M,  MOD,  MTM,  FAR or 669),
you may convert them with the 2GDM.EXE conversion program.   Conversion  is
simple.   Make sure that the file to be converted is in the same  directory
with  2GDM.EXE and then type "2GDM filename"  (filename is the name of  the
music  file to be converted.   The extension is not required),  then  press
ENTER.    2GDM will create a new file with the .GDM extension.    This  new
music  file  may  then  be  used by  GMOD  without  any  loss  of  quality.
2GDM creates a NEW file so your original file remains unaltered.

To start GMOD,  simply type "GMOD"  and press ENTER.   After GMOD has found
and used the information contained in the Configuration File,  it is  ready
for  any of the following commands (press the first letter of the  command,
or click on the highlighted letter of the command).
