Escape from Delirium was designed to run on very slow machines, but
(un)fortunately we have implemented some special effects, that use too much
processing-time. So please have a look at the system-requirements and check
whether your machine is powerful enough to handle EFD!

  þ Processor: 486 / Pentium or better
  þ RAM: At least 4 MB, maybe it even works with 2 Megs, but we didn't
    find a machine equiped with only 2 MB.
  þ EMS-Memory: about 800 kB free EMS-Memory required!
  þ A Mouse (Joystick not supported)
  þ A keyboard of course (Do you have one???)
  þ 10 MB free space on your hard-disk

  (OPTIONAL)

  þ GUS Max 512kB (for best sound results)
  þ GUS 512kB (for best sound results)
  þ SB (sounds ok)
  þ SBPro (for stereo-sound)
  þ SB16 (for advanced sound quality)
  þ PAS (sounds ok)
  þ PAS16 (for advanced sound quality)

Setting up your system to run EFD:
----------------------------------
Make sure you've got enough EMS-memory available and your DMA-buffersize is
large enough. It's best to use the command
              DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM D=48
in your CONFIG.SYS.


Commandlineparams:
------------------
DELIRIUM -BW -DIFFICULT -CFG:C:\DELIRIUM\SOUND.CFG -SDIR:D:\SAVES
Starts ESCAPE FROM DELIRIUM in black-white-mode (-BW), using the config-file
out of the directory C:\DELIRIUM and loads/saves savegames into D:\SAVES.

Careful! The parameter -DIFFICULT makes the game really hard to play!
All controls will then be different from the description given in SETUP.EXE!
Find it out yourself!


If you have problems with your hardware, take a look at this section:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Q: I hate reading questions and answers! I can't figure out what these
     technical details mean anyway! Why can't the game just work without
     adjusting tons of parameters?
  A: To make it easy, just create a boot-disk by typing BOOTDISK at the
     dos prompt! Then insert a disk into drive A that may be deleted by
     the BOOTDISK-program. Follow the instructions on the screen.

     To use your bootdisk, simple put it into your floppy drive A and
     reboot your computer!
     

- Q: The program tells me, that no EMS-Manager is installed.
  A: Add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS

          DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386 RAM HIGHSCAN
     If you have still problems with the memory-manager, look into
     your DOS-manual.

- Q: The program tells me, that there is not enough EMS-Memory available.
  A: Try to get more EMS-Memory. (please look into your DOS-manual)
     Perhaps your system doesn't have enough onboard-memory.
  A: Try creating a bootdisk!

- Q: I don't have enough conventional memory.
  A: Try removing memory-resistant programs from your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
     your CONFIG.SYS. You can make a boot-disk (look into your DOS-manual).

- Q: I have installed a SoundBlaster in my computer, but the game doesn't
     produce any sound-output.
  A: Please configure the game for your soundcard. This can be accomplished
     by running SETUP.EXE. The settings for DMA, IRQ, BASEPORT must be set
     properly. If you don't know, what these setings are, try the default:
       SB : Base: 220h, IRQ 7 od. 5, DMA 1

     Soundcards:
       ProAudioSpectrum16: - Turn up the Volume with the PAS.EXE-Mixer (PAS *)
                             (normal: Base: 388h, IRQ: 7, DMA: 3)
       SB-(ASP)-16       : - Please check the volume.
       Gravis Ultrasound : - Make sure, the SET-Variables are in your
                             AUTOEXEC.BAT and run ULTRINIT.

- Q: The sound stops after a short time.
  A: This may be the result of an incorrect IRQ-setting. Please look at the
     question above.

- Q: The sound-output is too loud.
  A: If you press <F5> during the game, a window opens. You can adjust the
     volume with your mouse, using the left button.
     You can also change the Volume by using the PGUP and PGDOWN button:
       PGUP   - Increase Volume
       PGDOWN - Decrease Volume

- Q: The computer crashes after you start the game.
  A: Make sure, your sound-settings are ok. Run SETUP.EXE

- Q: I own a GUS, but I don't have enough conventional memory because of
     SBOS.
  A: You needn't load SBOS for this game. We have implemented NATIVE GUS-
     Support. This sounds far better. Run SETUP.EXE and remove the SBOS-
     driver from your system-files.

- Q: How much RAM must be installed on my GUS to run the game.
  A: You need at least 512kB.

RUNNING EFD under Microsoft Windows:
------------------------------------
We suggest not to run this game using Microsoft Windows. If you'd like to
do it anyway, make sure you take care of the game-settings:

-GUS-Owners: Sorry, you can't use DMA-transfer to upload the samples to your
 soundcard. Please run SETUP.EXE and select DMA 0!

-For all other soundcards make sure, your SYSTEM.INI contains the line
               DMABufferSize=048
