For a brief description of Viking Siege see the file VSIEGE10.TXT.

*** Installation ***

    If you received this version of Viking Siege on a floppy disk 
    please follow the instructions on the disk label to install.

    If you received this version of Viking Siege in a self-extracting
    ZIP file (for example, VS10INST.EXE), you can install it 
    (in Windows 3.1 and higher) as follows:

    1. Select Run from the Taskbar Start menu
    2. Type the full name of the file (for example, 
       C:\DNLOAD\VS10INST.EXE)
    3. Press the Enter key, and follow the prompts

    or

    1. Find the file VS10INST.EXE in Windows Explorer and double click 
       on it
    2. Follow the prompts
    
    If you have received the file as a ZIP file (for example, 
    VS10INST.ZIP), open it using WinZip and extract all files 
    using the "Use folder names" option.

    If installing to a Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Millenium, 
    NT or XP operating system create a desktop shortcut for VIKSIEGE.EXE 
    and change the shortcut's icon to point to the VikSiege.ico icon
    file included in the package. If you are not sure how to do this,
    consult the Windows Help index under 'shortcuts, creating'.

    You can also install the self-extracting archive to a DOS only 
    machine using the PKUnzip utility. Place VS10INST.EXE in the top 
    level directory of choice and type:

    pkunzip -d vs10inst.exe

    This unzips all files into directory ./viksiege

*** Upgrade Instructions ***

    Follow the installation instructions above.  You can install
    this version of Viking Siege to the same location as a previously
    installed copy of Viking Siege.

*** Requirements ***

    This version of Viking Siege requires DOS 3.3 or higher, and at  
    least 600KB of free RAM memory. It will run fine under all 
    versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 
    Millenium, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP.

*** Documentation ***

    See the file VSIEGE10.TXT. 

    For documentation on how to use the game program press the F1 key 
    while in any Viking Siege screen with a menu.

    For a tutorial on how to play Viking Siege (Hnefatafl) choose the
    'Art of the siege' menu item from the options screen.

*** Release notes ***

    Several steps have been taken to ensure that game information is 
    not lost in the event of a crash. If an error is found, the program 
    will terminate and perform an emergency save, so that the game in 
    progress can be restarted later. As a last resort, in the event of 
    a crash, a listing of the moves of the game in progress should be 
    available in the file 'viksiege.txt' in the data directory. This 
    should be printed or renamed before restarting the game. The game 
    can then still be restored by selecting Midgard players for both 
    black and white, manually redoing the moves, and then resetting the 
    players to their original identities.
