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.

If you have only 4 meg of RAM, it is recommended that you do NOT use 
SMARTDRV.EXE.

NFL Pro League 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.

In the Trade module, the Option menu allows you to turn the roster 
limitations on and off. If you turn the limitations off, you may have a team 
that does not have the proper number of players at any given position but a 
trade can still take place.    

If you have older versions of Decade Disks that were converted to the
expanded roster format using NFLTFC.EXE last year, you must use the MAKETEAM 
program to use them in this version. First copy MAKETEAM.EXE to the location 
of the  converted team files. To convert the 1976 teams, type MAKETEAM 76 
<Enter>. A file named TEAMS76.TFR will be created. Then copy that new file to  
the directory with the new version of NFL Pro League Football. 

TELLME.EXE is a program used by our technical support staff to assist them
in diagnosis of technical problems.

386DX machines using a math coprocessor may expierence problems if the
rev number is A0, B0 or B1 on the CPU chip.

                    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>

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 this line is less than 585K, contact your local computer
            dealer and ask them to help you increase this number by removing
            RAM resident programs
        5.  If using MS-DOS 6.0 look for the line stating Extended (XMS),  
            if using MS-DOS 5.0 look for the line stating Total Available
            To XMS
        6.  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.
