Comanche: Maximum Overkill

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
      Place the install disk in drive A: or B:, change to that drive
   and type INSTALL.  Follow the directions.  The program will require
   12 Megs of free hard drive space to install, and about 8 Megs after
   installation.

GETTING THE PROGRAM TO RUN

      This Game Requires a 386/486 computer with at least 4 megabytes
   of RAM.  In general, 500K of conventional memory and 3 Megabytes
   of XMS memory.  This Game will not work with EMS emulators such as
   386MAX, QEMM386 and EMM386.  These drivers must be removed from your
   CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, or you should re-boot from a normal
   boot disk.  To make a boot disk, place a blank disk in drive a: and type
   FORMAT A:/S.  Then type BOOTXMS from the COMANCHE sub directory to copy
   standard boot files to the floppy.

      If you have QEMM386 installed, you may temporally disable it by
   pressing ALT during boot up.  Try running the game with QEMM disabled.
   If the game does not run, you will need to install HIMEM.SYS.

      If the game runs out of memory, check your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
   for SMARTDRV.  Try reducing the size of the SMARTDRV disk cache or
   removing it entirely.  If you are using DOS 5 with HIMEM.SYS, make sure
   the CONFIG.SYS file contains DOS=HIGH.

      If the game will not work, verify that your CONFIG.SYS file
   contains the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS.  The HIMEM.SYS file
   comes with both DOS 5 and WINDOWS.

      WARNING: Always have a working boot disk before modifying the
   CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files on your hard drive.

HARDWARE PROBLEMS

      Comanche utilizes your computer hardware to the fullest, and may show
   hardware problems that standard DOS programs miss.

   HORIZONTAL LINES
      Comanche requires a 100% VGA hardware compatible video card.  The
   Headland Video 7 VRAM cards will display horizontal lines during the
   game if it is not set to VGA PURE mode.  Run the V7VGA program that
   came with the VRAM board and select VGA PURE.  If you have a Radius
   VRAM card (which uses the Headland Chipset), you must run the RADIUS
   program and turn on PURE MODE.

   IMMEDIATE GAME LOCKUP
      Check for HIMEM.SYS in your startup config.sys file.  Type MEM and
   verify that you have XMS memory and no EMS memory.

   DELAYED GAME LOCKUP WITH DIGITAL SOUND
      Check for a conflict between the sound card and another card.  Run
   SOUNDSET and disable digital sounds.  Consult the sound card manual for
   information on resolving IRQ, I/O, and DMA conflicts with other cards
   in your system.
