Conventional Memory

  R.A.M. or Random Access Memory is located on your computer's motherboard.
Base RAM is recognized as the first 640k or 655,360 bytes (a K=1024 bytes).
If you have insufficent Base RAM, your computer may be loading extraneous
programs that occupy this memory.

  During each and every startup, your computer searches for 'startup' files
(i.e. the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files). These files, programmed by
the user at an earlier time, contain the instructions to load programs and
configure the computer. The solution to free more Base RAM is to either
modify those startup files or create alternative startup files
specifically configured for your game.
This can be accomplished by creating a 'boot disk' with new startup files.
Those startup files will be called CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.

There are two ways you can create a 'boot' disk:

1) You can automatically create a boot disk by selecting the
   'Create Boot Disk' icon in the install menu. You will need a blank disk
   of the appropriate size for your A: drive.

2) You can manually create a boot disk by following the instructions below:
    A. Place a floppy disk in drive A.
    B. From the C: prompt type FORMAT A: /S <Enter>
    C. After the format is complete and the system has been transferred,
        type A: <Enter>
    D. Type EDIT CONFIG.SYS <Enter>. When the blue screen appears type
        in the lines just as they appear in the sample CONFIG.SYS in your
        data card.  Once this is done, choose Save from under the File
        menu, and then exit.
    E. Type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT <Enter>. When the blue screen appears type
        in the lines just as they appear in the sample AUTOEXEC.BAT in your
        data card. Once this is done, choose Save from under the File menu,
        and then exit.

Extended Memory (XMS)

  Your total extended memory is equal to all the memory above one Megabyte.
If you know your computer has the required total, yet the Install detects
it as being insufficient, your computer may not have the amount *free* or
available.

  There are programs or drivers (such as SMARTDRV.EXE and EMM386.EXE) that
use your extended memory. If you have the required total memory, but have
insufficent *free* memory, you will have to disable any extraneous drivers
that are occupying your extended memory. A simple solution is a
'boot disk.'

See CONVENTIONAL memory help for creating a 'boot disk'.

Expanded Memory (EMS)

   This game does not use EMS.

@BEGIN
Hard Drive Space

  If you do not have the required hard drive space to install the game, you
will need to delete enough programs from your hard drive to free the
required amount of space. This can be done with the 'DEL' command. Please
see your DOS manual if you are not familiar on how to use this command.
@END



@BEGIN
Video Adapter

  This program will detect the model, type, and capabilities of your video
card. It will also determine whether it supports the mode required by the
game. If your card does not support the mode necessary for the game to
run, you will need to correct this before proceeding.

  This may be as simple as installing a VESA driver, or you may need to
upgrade your video card.
@END



@BEGIN
VESA

  If you are experiencing any problem with your video/VESA driver, type
UVCONFIG from the game EXE directory following Installation, and follow
the on-screen prompts. UVCONFIG attempts to select a VESA driver specific
to your video card; if it cannot find one, it selects a universal VESA
driver that should work on most video cards. Should the VESA driver
selected by UVCONFIG fail to work, a VESA driver specific to your video
card must be obtained from the card's manufacturer. Once a VESA driver has
been selected, you must use FGVESA to start the game, instead of FG.
@END



@BEGIN
Mouse


  Some of our games require a mouse; the game may not run if the mouse
isn't activated. If you have problems, and know you have the mouse
properly connected, verify that the mouse driver is loaded by typing
MEM /C | MORE <Enter> at the C: prompt.

  If you do not see the mouse driver listed, you'll need to find the
directory that holds the mouse driver. (This is usually the MOUSE
directory; you may need to refer to your mouse manual for help finding it
if the name is different.) Once located, type the appropriate command to
enable your mouse (usually MOUSE) and press <Enter>.  Please be aware that
Microsoft Windows has its own built-in mouse drivers that *do not*
function outside of Windows. You must have the mouse driver loaded in DOS
to play our games.

Joystick


Possible causes for disabled joystick(s):
 - The joystick is not properly connected. Double-check the connections
   and reboot your machine.
 - The joystick port on the sound card or game card is disabled. Refer to
   your sound card or game card manual for instructions on how to enable
   the port.
 - You may have two joystick ports enabled. This can cause a conflict
   between the two ports, and in most cases neither will operate properly.
   The solution would be to disable one of them.
 - If you are having problems using two joysticks using a 'Y' (or splitter)
   cable, you may have an older version of the 'Y' cable that is
   incompatible with the new joystick ports on many newer sound cards. Try
   using a new splitter cable. Please be aware that when using a 'Y' (or
   splitter) cable, only two buttons on each joystick function.
@END



@BEGIN
DOS Version

  If you do not have the required operating system version, (the operating
system usually referred to as DOS) you will need to upgrade for the game to
run properly.

  Unless specified otherwise, we do not recommend running the game through
the Windows environment.
