* In the beginning, VOCPLAY.EXE, the program used to play the .VOC files in 
Trekma, is a copy of PLAYER.COM, which is slow but doesn't use drivers so
it works with most SoundBlaster-compatible sound cards.  If you have a 
SoundBlaster/Pro/16, then you can use VPLAY221.EXE for "old" SB cards and 
VPLAY310.EXE for "new" SB cards.  Also, you can use PLANY.EXE, which works 
without drivers, but you must SET the BLASTER environment variable to the 
right settings for your sound card, or else the VOCs might be cut off and 
you'll have to press a key after each one.

To use one of the other .VOC players for Trekma:

COPY [filename] VOCPLAY.EXE

where [filename] is VPLAY310.EXE, VPLAY221.EXE, or PLANY.EXE

Instead of starting by typing TREKMA, type PATCH. Whenever you are using a
.VOC player other than PLAYER.COM, you gotta type PATCH.  When you're sure
everything works, you can rename PATCH.EXE to TREKMA.EXE because typing PATCH
is lame.

To change it back to using PLAYER.COM, type COPY PLAYER.COM VOCPLAY.EXE and
use the original TREKMA.EXE file.

If you use PLANY.EXE, you can boot-up without AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS, and
just type

SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1          (substitute your sound card's values for
                                 the port, IRQ, and DMA)

before running Trekma.

To skip the intro and go right to the game, type TREKMA POWER.
