 HOOK - PC README FILE
 =====================

 Welcome to Hook on the PC

 The following information is in addition to the information contained in
 your manual.  Please read it carefully.  You may print this file from any
 Word Processor. You may also print the file from DOS while in the HOOK
 directory by typing the following line & pressing return -
                       
                        COPY READ.ME PRN

 WipeHook.exe :
 --------------

 This file has been included to allow for a simple way to remove Hook from
 your Hard Disk.  Change to the directory that Hook is in, and type
 WIPEHOOK.  This will delete HOOK.EXE, READ.ME and WIPEHOOK.EXE from the
 Hook directory.


 Load / Save game :
 ------------------

 If you select the <USE> icon and then click on the <DISK> icon in Pan's
 inventory, you will be presented with the load/save game menu.

 Click on a number icon (1 to 5), and then click on either the load or
 save icons.  You may only have five different save game positions.


 Language Selection :
 --------------------

 Hook will normally select the text language by using the country code as
 defined during your system boot up.  However, if for any reason you wish
 to override this auto selection you may do so by adding a /L to the command
 line followed by a number from 0 to 4 (0 - English, 1 - French,
 2 - German, 3 - Spanish, 4 - Italian).

 For example using HOOK /L3 will force Hook to use the Spanish text.


 Sound / Control Options :
 -------------------------

 Syntax is:-   Hook [A|R] [J] [M]

	/ or + turns an option on.
	- turns an option off.

    The order & case of options is not important.

    +A Selects Adlib.
    +R Selects Roland.
    -M Turns OFF mouse detection.
    -J Turns OFF joystick detection.(Press J to calibrate is used)

    Mouse driver & jostick are automatically detect by default.

    Press Fire or J during the title sequence to calibrate the joystick.

               Note: You will need a joystick with two
                     independant fire buttons to play Hook.



 NB: Any of the above command line options may be combined with any other.
 
 Changing your System :
 ----------------------

 Due to the complex nature of the file system used in Hook, it may no longer
 function correctly if any major hardware attributes of your PC change in
 any way (eg adding extra RAM or an additional Hard Disk).  If this is the
 case then you must re-install Hook from the origional floppy disks.


 Have fun !!
