********************************** MODEMS ***********************************
     
        1)      If you have been on a modem service such as Prodigy,
                CompuServe, etc., you must REBOOT your computer prior
                to playing any game (Head Up, Auto Play, Modem Play, etc.)

        2)      If you are having problems initializing your modem, try the
                following modem initializer: 
                
                               ATE1S7=60S0=0S11=60L0=!

        3)      If you are using a touch tone line and do not get a dial 
                tone, try using ATDP instead of ATDT.

        4)      If you are playing a modem play game, it is recommended that
                you keep in contact with your opponent via the CHAT MODE.
                It is also recommended that both you and your opponent save
                the game after each quarter and after every kickoff following
                a score. You should OVERWRITE the previously saved file each
                time. This keeps the game current in the unlikely event you 
                experience any trouble such as call waiting or a telephone 
                line problem.

        5)      If you experience any problems with the sound during the game,
                it is due to a conflict between your modem, sound card and 
                mouse. Check your IRQ settings and your sound card manual to
                find the proper settings. (We recommend trying IRQ = 5 for
                your sound card)
                        
                      
                      
*********************** DRIVE SUMMARY AND PLAY BY PLAY **********************

        1)      To have the computer save the Drive Summary or Play By Play,
                you must first turn BOTH of them ON at the start of EVERY
                game by using the OPTIONS MENU after the opening kickoff.


************************* GENERAL PROTECTION FAULTS *************************

        1)      If the game stops and the error message "General Protection 
                Fault" appears, you must restart the game. As in the Modem 
                Play section, it is recommended that you save the game after 
                each quarter and after every kickoff following a score. You 
                should OVERWRITE the previously saved file each time. This 
                keeps the game current in the unlikely event you experience 
                this problem.
                             

****************************** USING MS-DOS 6.2 *****************************

        1)      If you have installed MS-DOS 6.2 after installing the game 
                and removing SMARTDRV.EXE from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (see
                TROUBLESHOOTING below for steps to remove SMARTDRV.EXE),you 
                must remove SMARTDRV.EXE again as the stepup for MS-DOS 6.2 
                places the SMARTDRV.EXE line back in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.


******************************** TEAM EDITOR ********************************

        1)      MISC2 of the Team Editor contains three fields named HWL,      
                RWL and TWL. These are Home, Road and Total Win/Loss 
                percentages for each team. These numbers may not be the
                exact percentage of their win/loss. Other things such as 
                strength of schedule, record vs. teams with winning records
                and level of playoff advancement are factored into these
                numbers.


****************************** USING MS-DOS 5.0 *****************************  


        1)      If you are using MS-DOS 5.0 and are having problems, try 
                removing NOEMS from your CONFIG.SYS file (See TROUBLESHOOTING
                for tips on editing the CONFIG.SYS file).


************************* ORIGINAL README FILE ******************************

                       1993 ALL-AMERICAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

If you do not want to view the start up screen, either type GM RELOAD at the
DOS prompt or press the ESC key after typing GM.

It is recommended that you do NOT use SMARTDRV.EXE.

All-American College Football will NOT properly operate under Windows unless 
you have 8 meg of RAM.

In order to hear sound, you must have a Sound Blaster or compatible sound
card.

                              TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are using SMART DRIVE, the program will not work properly. You must
first go into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and/or CONFIG.SYS file and remark out 
the line dealing with SMARTDRV.EXE. Follow these steps:

        1.  Go to the DOS prompt by typing CD\ <enter> 
        2.  At C:\> type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT <enter>
        3.  Find the line that has the word SMARTDRV.EXE  
                    Example: C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
        4.  Remark this line out by placing the cursor at the far left side 
            of the line and typing REM 
                    Example: REM C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
        5.  Select SAVE from the File menu
        6.  Select EXIT from the File menu
        7.  At the C:\> type EDIT CONFIG.SYS <enter>
        8.  Find the line that has the word SMARTDRV.EXE  
                    Example: C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
        9.  Remark this line out by placing the cursor at the far left side 
            of the line and typing REM 
                    Example: REM C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
        10. Select SAVE from the File menu
        11. Select EXIT from the File menu
        12. Turn your machine OFF using the Power button
        13. Turn your machine back On using the Power button

In order to run the program, you must have approximately 585K of conventional
memory and 2,700K of available extended memory. To check your memory, do the 
following:

        1.  Go to the DOS prompt by typing CD\ <enter> 
        2.  At C:\> type MEM <enter>
        3.  Look for the line stating Largest Executable Program Size
            to find your conventional memory
        4.  If using MS-DOS 6.0 or higher look for the line stating Extended 
            (XMS), if using MS-DOS 5.0 look for the line stating Total 
            Available To XMS
        5.  If either of these numbers is below 2700K or 2,700,000 bytes 
            then you should contact your local computer dealer and ask for 
            help in increasing this number.


Special Note:  If you are running DOS 5.0 it is recommended that you do not
load anything into high memory. Meaning, if you use the DOS commands in your  
Autoexec.bat and Config.sys (DeviceHigh, LH or Loadhigh) remove.
