                          "READ.ME" File Information
                            Version 1.1 - 08/26/93


    Thank you for purchasing Their Finest Hour. There are a few last minute
updates that are not documented in the Manual or the Reference Card.  This
information along with corrections to the Manual are listed below.  Please
read this information before playing Their Finest Hour.

AVAILABLE MEMORY

    Their Finest Hour's performance and graphic detail are directly related
    to the amount of free memory in your computer. It is highly recommended
    that you boot your machine with a clean version of DOS that contains no
    devices in your "config.sys" file and no "autoexec.bat" file.  With the
    exception of a mouse driver (if you are using a mouse), nothing should
    be loaded into memory.  The optimum amount of free memory for Their
    Finest Hour is 590K.

    If you are using a hard disk, one way to tell if Their Finest Hour is
    fully optimized is to check the gunner position screens on your German
    Medium Bombers.  If they match the screen shots on pages 143 and 147 of
    your manual, Their Finest Hour will be fully optimized.


CHANGES TO THE MANUAL

    Altimeter Description - (page 42, 46) The Manual inaccurately
    describes the big hand of the dial as indicating hundreds of feet and
    the little hand as indicating tens of feet.  The big hand indicates
    tens of feet and the little hand indicates hundreds of feet.  For
    example, if the digital display reads "21", the big hand is on the "4",
    and the little hand is on the "8", your altitude is 21,840 feet, not
    21,480 feet.

    Gun Indicator Lights - (page 43) The Double-Seat Fighter and Dive
    Bomber each have a Gun Indicator Light located near the top of the
    screen showing the status of the tail-gunner.  See the color chart on
    page 46 for a description of the color codes.


USING AN ADLIB CARD OR THE INTERNAL SPEAKER

    If you have an AdLib music card installed in your computer, Their
    Finest Hour will try to send all of your sound output to that card.
    You may force the game to ignore your AdLib card by loading "bob.exe"
    with an "I" extension.  You may also force the game to use the AdLib
    by loading it with an "A" extension.  These extensions must follow the
    graphic display option and the ground detail option.

          For example type;

                  BOB E 2 A

          to load Their Finest Hour in EGA mode with maximum ground detail
	  and AdLib sounds.

                  A - AdLib sounds

                  I - Internal speaker

DELETING RECORDS

    Their Finest Hour does not have an option to allow you to delete
    existing records, i.e. pilots, top ten lists, saved replays, custom
    missions, and campaigns.  In order to delete these records, you will
    have to use the DOS delete command.  Each type of record is stored in
    the BOB1940 directory on your hard disk or the root directory of your
    floppy pilot data disk.  Each type of data file is stored with the
    following DOS extensions.

	RAF Pilots............... *.RAF
	Bf 109 Pilots............ *.109
	Bf 110 Pilots............ *.110
	Ju 87 Stuka Pilots....... *.J87
	Bomber Crews............. *.BMB
	Top Ten Pilots........... *.TOP
	Custom Missions.......... *.FLT
	Saved Replays............ *.RPY
	Saved Campaign........... *.BOB

    For example;

        If you have an RAF pilot named "Joe", the DOS file that contains
        his information is called;

                              JOE.RAF

        If you have a 109 pilot named "Hans", his DOS file will be called;

                              HANS.109
