                               Mouse Information

         Please read the enclosed Mouse information card for information
         on mouse support for 'The Magic Candle II'.

                            Sound Card Information:

         The MC2INST program automatically detects machine hardware but
         some Sound Blaster and Adlib compatible cards may show as 'no
         sound board' but you will be allowed to override that and choose
         the board that your card is compatible to. The program does not
         automatically detect a Roland sound card, but will allow you to
         choose Roland for music (you can also choose Adlib or Sound Blaster 
         for sound effects if you have that board also installed).

         Optionally, Sound Blaster owners may wish to try both Adlib and 
         Sound Blaster settings for sound effects and then choose the one 
         that you like best.

                                IBM DEMO NOTE:

           As a special feature, players playing the IBM Playable Demo 
         may transfer all their save games from the demo into this game by 
         installing this complete version into the same directory in which the
         Demo is currently installed on the hard drive (do not delete your 
         existing files in that directory). 

                           SPECIAL GAME INFORMATION:

           During the course of your hero's adventures in 'Magic Candle II', 
         your characters will have a chance to learn special "songs" that will
         enable them to both entertain the party as well as magically effect
         certain monsters. It is up to the characters to find out which songs 
         exist, who can teach that song (to those with musical ability), what 
         instrument is used to play the song, and what special effects (if any) 
         that song will produce when played. A song which produces special
         effects will sound like just another tune unless played in the 
         correct situation.

          As described in the game manual, hero profile E starts the game
         with several musical instruments as well as several songs known.
         To learn which songs known can produce magical effects, he must
         still uncover clues throughout his adventures or by experimentation.

         HINT: Using the Lyre when encountering slimes will play the song 
               "Mage's Joy" and lull the slimes to sleep.
