BARQ, "The Rise Of Freedom" Technical Refrence Guide
====================================================
 Copyright(c) 1996 by LOGICATORS, Karachi, Pakistan

BARQ requires:

386 or better system with a minimum of 4MB RAM

Recommended system :

486 or better system with a fast Local Bus VGA card. A Sound
Blaster/PRO/16 or compatible is highly recommended.

If you experience memory problems with BARQ, it may be
necessary to create a boot disk as follows:

1: First format a blank floppy disk by typing:

     FORMAT A: /S

2: Using an editor of your choice create CONFIG.SYS on
this disk.

The CONFIG.SYS file should look something like this:

     FILES=30

(Note : Its developed in DOS protected mode, so it doesn't
        require any memory manager like HIMEM.SYS etc)

If you are using a Sound Card that requires a driver to
enable (Like Pro Audio Spectrum 16 etc), you must include
the driver lines in your config.sys/autoexec.bat.
like (For PAS16)

 DEVICE=C:\PAS16\MVSOUND.SYS d:5 q:10 s:1,220,1,5 m:0 j:1

Once this is done turn off your PC, insert the newly
created boot disk and switch the machine back on. After
MSDOS has booted you will now be able to move into the
directory where the game is stored (like c:\BARQ). You
should now be able to load the game by typing

       RUN

It supports Sound Blaster and 100% compatibles and tested with
all of the major standards. If you still have any sound problems,
please consult your sound card manufacterer or try turning the
sound off in CONFIG.EXE.

If you are using Gravis Ultra Sound and you are missing sound or
music, SBOS may not be loaded into memory. SBOS is required
because Gravis Ultra Sound is not SB compatible by default. It
requires SBOS driver to emulate SB compatibility.

If its having slowdowns on your machine, turn HIGH DETAIL button
off in OPTIONS menu or try to disable sound effects and music in
the same MENU. (Usually required on slow 386 machines)

If you are a Win95 user, it runs well in Win95 DOS box, but
on some machines, Win95 is speeding up the timer which can
disturb the animations and music. We recommend you to run this
game in pure DOS (or shut down Win95 to DOS).

DEFAULT KEYBOARD SETUP :

Arrow Keys To Move Around
CTRL  For Fire
ALT   To Change Weapon
P     For Pause
ESC   For Exit
ENTER For MENU Selection

The game uses standard keys by default already used by many
popular games. But if you want to define your own keys, try
SETKEYS.EXE.
