		      WELCOME TO 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE!

  Thank you for purchasing 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE.  We hope to send you off 
  on the greatest adventure of all . . .

  This "README" file has some additional information and late-breaking 
  news that could not make it into the User's Guide, as well as some 
  important pieces of technical information that bear repeating here. 

  INSTALLATION PROBLEMS.  If difficulty is encountered during installation, 
  there is a switch which turns off the graphics and may allow complete
  installation.  Type INSTALL -T at the floppy drive prompt for a text-only
  installation.  If this also fails, then try the alternate install as
  described in the manual.

  MEMORY REQUIREMENTS.  3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE requires approximately 520KB 
  of RAM in order to run.  Even when there is adequate total RAM to run 
  the program, there may be conflicts with other programs occupying 
  memory.  If you experience difficulty in running 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE 
  under these circumstances, please remove other memory resident programs 
  from memory.

  LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK COMPUTER DISPLAYS.  3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE requires a color 
  VGA monitor to display its high-resolution images.  It will not work on 
  the internal plasma or LCD monitors on many laptop PCs.  Most laptops do,
  however, have a connector for an external monitor, and Dinosaur
  Adventure will work fine with your laptop hooked to an external VGA 
  monitor.  3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE will run fine on certain laptop screens,
  such as the Toshiba 4400SXC, COMPAQ LTE's and the PC BRAND NB 486slc 
  which have 256 shades of grey or color screens.  The only problem will 
  be that the right edge of the screen will be slightly cut off.  This is 
  because 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE runs in the extra high resolution VGA video
  mode of 360 x 480 pixels with 256 colors and most of the internal laptop
  screens can only show 320 pixels in width.

  EGA DISPLAYS.  3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE requires a VGA color monitor and
  therefore will not run on EGA monitors.

  MOUSE SUPPORT.  3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE takes great advantage of your mouse 
  if you have one, but it does not require one.  There are keyboard 
  equivalents spelled out in the User's Guide which will allow you to 
  enjoy 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE without a mouse.

  NEW FEATURES.

	 - Music volume.  You can change the level of music while sounds
	   are being played in the program.  The default level is 70.  The 
	   recommended range is 50 to 80; the lower the number the softer 
	   the music volume. NOTE: this does not change the overall music 
	   volume; it is lowered only while digitized sound is being played.
	   To turn music or sound off completely, Music and Sound must be 
	   set to OFF.*
	   
	 - Mouse sensitivity.  The sensitivity of your mouse can be increased 
	   or decreased.  The default sensitivity is 50.  The recommended
	   range is 25 to 100; the higher the number, the more sensitive 
	   and responsive your mouse movements.* 
	   
		* These settings are in the Dinosaur configuration text file, 
		  KA.CNF.  Use a text editor or click on the 3-D DINOSAUR
		  ADVENTURE Config icon in Windows to modify these settings.
		  For further information about KA.CNF, see Appendix B,
		  "Commonly Asked Questions", in your 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE
		  user's manual.

	 - To step backwards along the data line in the Reference Section,
	   press the Shift key and click a category button with your mouse.
	   Clicking without pressing Shift moves you forward.

	 - To turn off sound and music, type ALT-M (music) and/or ALT-S 
	   (sound).  To turn them back on, press ALT-M and/or ALT-S.

  WINDOWS "SOUND DEVICE IN USE" MESSAGE.  While using a Sound Blaster
  card and attempting to launch 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE in Windows, you may
  get a message stating that your sound device is already in use.  To
  remedy this, upgrade your SoundBlaster drivers for Windows.  If you
  have a modem you can download the new drivers by either calling the
  Creative Labs' BBS directly or by calling the Knowledge Adventure BBS 
  @(818) 248-0166 (N,8,1).  If you do not have a modem, call our
  Technical Support Department at (818) 249-0212.

  TANDY SENSATION.  The 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE install program will not
  generate a Knowledge Adventure program group and icon if you run
  under Winmate - even if you said YES to the Windows question during
  install.  Manually add the 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE Icon to Winmate after
  installation is complete.   

  If your Tandy Sensation has a Sound Blaster or Sound Blaster Pro
  sound card, choose "Sound Blaster" or "Sound Blaster Pro" during
  install instead of "Tandy Sensation."
  
  If your are running 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE from DOS, you will not hear
  digital sound during movies.  If running 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE from
  within Windows, you will hear digital sound during movies if you 
  are using the new Tandy Sensation SoundBlaster-compatible Windows
  drivers.  If you do not have these drivers, and have a modem, you may 
  download them from the Knowledge Adventure BBS (see above information).   
  
  COMPAQ PROLINEA.  During INSTALL, press ENTER if you get a message
  stating that you do not have a VGA System.

  DIGISPEECH PORTABLE.  If you are using the Digispeech PortAble Sound
  Plus, you must run BMASTER.EXE in your PORTSND directory before running 
  SETUP in 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE.  Your BMASTER files must be dated
  August 1993 or later to support 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE.  If this is not 
  the case, contact Digispeech, Inc. for updated drivers.
  
  GENERAL MIDI SUPPORT.  Due to space limitations, General MIDI support 
  for the Roland GS, Aria Synthesizer, and Gravis UltraSound sound cards
  are provided on a disk available from our Technical Support Department at
  (818) 249-0212.  In the interim, select SoundBlaster and Compatibles
  for the Aria and Gravis Sound Cards.  For the Gravis, from your UltraSnd 
  directory, type SBOS and then press enter to activate Sound Blaster 
  compatibility and during Sound Setup choose SoundBlaster and Compatibles.

  SOUND SETUP.  If you have difficulty running sound setup, you may
  have selected the wrong sound card or you may have an I/O conflict
  with other cards in your computer.  See Appendix B, "Commonly Asked
  Questions", in your User's Guide for information about troubleshooting
  and reconfiguring your system.

  USING VGACAPT.EXE TO CAPTURE GRAPHIC IMAGES.  To use VGACAPT, simply
  type DINO3D -V from your DINO3D directory.  If you do not have enough 
  memory available to load 3-D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE AND the VGACAPT program, 
  you can remove your mouse driver from memory and start the program 
  without a mouse by bypassing our mouse test. Simply log on to the Dino3D 
  directory on your hard drive and type:

	VGACAPT KA KAV.PGM -lC:\DINO3D -rC:\DINO3D -fC:\DINO3D
  
  Where C:\DINO3D is your hard disk DINO3D subdirectory.
