                       Copyright 1991 by Dynamix, Inc.

Minimum System Requirements to play Willy CD.

* 80386 based PC
* 2 megabytes of RAM
* 4-bit VGA graphics adapter/VGA monitor
* Serial/parallel/joystick ports
* 30MB hard disk
* CD-ROM with CD-DA (Compact Disk Digital Audio) outputs
* 101-key keyboard
* 2-button, Microsoft-compatible mouse
* MS-DOS 5.0
* Pro-Audio Spectrum, Soundblaster, Soundblaster Pro, or compatibles.

NEW FEATURES:

* [Alt] or [Ctrl] [T] toggles voice on/off.
* [Alt] or [Ctrl] [B] toggles text on/off.

SOLUTIONS TO POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:

* Willy Beamish requires 560,000 bytes of free memory to run. You must
  also have expanded memory. Both SoundBlaster (including SoundBlaster
  Pro and SoundBlaster compatibles) and ProAudio Spectrum cards are
  supported. 

* SoundBlaster Pro users: if the music plays somewhat oddly, try to free
  up additional conventional memory. While this should not be a problem,
  it is a possible solution in case it does occur.

* If you experience any lockups when playing the game on a fast machine 
  (such as a 33Mhz 80486), we recommend that you turn the Turbo mode off.

* If you get the message "Unable to initialize hds!" when trying to run
  Willy Beamish, then the program is not able to detect your sound card.
  Be sure that you have the necessary sound card drivers installed on 
  your system.


THE INSTALL PROGRAM:

* The Install program supplied on the Willy Beamish disc will create a
  directory on your boot drive called DYNAMIX. Within this directory,
  a batch file will be created which will permit you to run Willy 
  Beamish. The directory DYNAMIX\WCD contains configuration information
  specific to your system. Do not disturb or erase this directory unless
  you intend to re-run the Install program at a later time.


USING THE BOOT DISK:

* If you find yourself short on memory, first try using a memory manager.
  If this fails to free up additional memory on your system, then use the
  Install program on the Willy Beamish CD to create a boot disk. Booting 
  off this disk will provide you with a basic system with additional 
  memory free. Note that you will have to copy the CD-ROM drivers from 
  your hard disk's AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files into the 
  corresponding files on your boot disk. (You will also probably need to 
  supply the SETVER and LASTDRIVE commands in your boot disk's CONFIG.SYS
  file).

GAME HINTS:

* Should you discover that the game doesn't continue playing at a certain
  point (such as when a bit of dialog has just finished playing), simply 
  press your left mouse button or press the space bar.

* Don't forget about the built-in "Online Help" in Willy Beamish. It will
  explain many facets of game-play which you may have questions about. 
  The front cover of your manual will explain how to access Online Help 
  from within the game.
