  *** PURPOSE OF LONE EAGLE

       This game provides great entertainment for the whole family. 
  Suggested age for game play is from 8 years all the way up to the 
  adventuresome adult!  We wanted to provide a game that everyone would 
  like to play.  LONE EAGLE doesn't have the bad connotations that 
  other games carry.  Rather, it is a wonderfully relaxing way to enjoy 
  yourself for an incredibly low price without having to worry about what 
  the younger ones are getting into.  

*************************************************************************

  *** STORYLINE OF LONE EAGLE
     
     LONE EAGLE - COLOMBIAN ENCOUNTER is a sophisticated, new generation,
shareware adventure game different from anything else in the field.  The
adventure starts when you learn your friend and partner has been
killed by cutthroat South American pirates.  You sail to the same area to
investigate and soon find yourself entangled with modern-day pirates.
Combined with humor and adventure, a struggle for survival begins.  
     The world you will explore comes to life due to the incredible
graphics and the "VIRTUAL SCENERY" where there are constant real life 
movements of backgrounds and sounds.  The scenes include sailing, 
fishing, diving, and colorful characters.   

**************************************************************************  
  *** REQUIREMENTS TO PLAY THIS GAME

  - Minimum 386 12Mhz Computer < Recommended 25Mhz 486 >

  - 9 Megabytes of Hard Drive Space for the registered version
  - 512K Free Conventional Memory
  - 128K XMS Expanded Memory for Sound Cards (Optional)
  - DOS 5.0 or Higher
  - Files=20 or Higher in your Config.sys

  *** PROBLEMS RUNNING LONE EAGLE

       If you experience mouse problems running LONE EAGLE it is 
  probably because your mouse driver and mouse are not compatible 
  with each other and are sending non-standard signals to your 
  computer.  The easiest solution is to be sure to install compatible 
  mouse driver and mouse equipment.

       If you are experiencing problems running Lone Eagle, the easiest
  way to eliminate them is to make a "BOOT DISK" for your computer.  A
  batch program has been created to help you create a bootable floppy.  
  Just insert an empty floppy disk into your "A" drive and type 
  "MAKEBOOT" from the directory where your game is installed.

  (NOTE: This batch program will attempt to format the floppy you 
  inserted!  Make sure there is no data on the disk that you want to keep!  
  After that it will put the appropriate files on the floppy so that you 
  can play the game.  It will also help to free up memory needed to play 
  LONE EAGLE.  Once the disk has been completed, instructions will tell you 
  about adding a mouse driver to the disk.  Then you will be instructed to 
  leave the disk in the "A" drive and reboot your machine.)

       If you still experience lockups or stalls while using the LONE EAGLE 
  BOOT DISK, you simply do not have enough extended memory available 
  for the special sound effects.  You can easily fix this by turning 
  off the sound or by typing le2 (no sound effects version of LONE EAGLE), 
  but you will miss much of the special effects.  
        
        The sound is turned off from the button menu that appears at the top 
  of the game while in play.  Once the sound is off you can use the auto-
  restore button to recycle through the introduction scenes if you had 
  difficulties viewing the introduction due to the sounds.

        
        THE TOLL FREE NUMBER ABOVE IS FOR ORDERING ONLY.
