Microsoft Golf for Windows version 2.0 README file
==================================================

This document contains important information about Microsoft Golf for Windows,
including information on printing score cards, swap files, minimal memory,
convertible courses, and the files included with Golf 2.0.

=======================
Score Card Printing Tips
=======================

If you are printing on an HP LaserJet with 512K of memory or if your score 
cards prints with some of the lines missing, set the printer graphics 
resolution to 75 dots per inch.

To change the printer graphics resolution:
1 From the Game menu, choose Print Score Card.
2 Choose the Options button.
3 In the Graphics Resolution box, choose 75 dots per inch.
4 Choose the OK button.
5 In the Copies box, choose the number of score cards you want to print.
6 Choose the OK button.

----------

If you are having other problems printing the score card, try using the 
Generic/Text Only printer driver instead. The resulting printout displays
only text and scores.

To install the Generic/Text Only printer driver:
1 In Program Manager, open the Main program group.
2 Double-click the Control Panel icon.
3 Double-click the Printers icon.
4 Choose the Add button.
5 In the List of Printers, choose the Generic/Text Only printer driver.
6 Choose the Install button.
7 When prompted, insert the appropriate Microsoft Windows disk.
8 Choose the OK button.

Before you print the score card, make sure the Generic/Text Only printer is 
selected in the Print Score Card dialog box.

----------

For best results, print the score card in portrait mode. If you print the 
score card in landscape mode, information may be lost.

===========================================
SWAP FILES
===========================================
Golf 2.0 requires at least 4 megabytes (MB) of memory and an 8-MB swap file 
(preferably permanent). Be sure that the swap file is set for a minimum of 
8 MB. Increasing the swap-file size may improve the performance of Golf 2.0.
For more information on increasing swap-file size, see the Microsoft Windows
User's Guide.

===========================================
VIDEO DRIVERS
===========================================
Some S3 (in particular Dell S3 drivers) and Diamond Stealth 24 video drivers 
can cause unpredictable crashes when running Golf under Win32s. Contact your 
manufacturer to make sure you have a video driver compatible with Win32s.

===========================================
MACHINES WITH MINIMUM MEMORY (4 MB)
===========================================
If performance is slow on your 4-MB computer, the following tips may help:

* Reduce the number of Windows Golf is displaying (for example, if both 
  Main View and Green View are showing, then close Green View).
* Reduce the size of Main View.
* Modify options in the Display Options dialog box.
  1 From the Options menu, choose Display.
  2 In the Display Options dialog box, turn off the Always Render 
    Full Size option.
  3 Turn off the Draw Shadows option.
  4 Turn off the Texture Terrain option.
  5 Reduce the detail levels.

   When you turn off Texture Terrain and reduce the detail levels, you affect
   the visual appearance of the course -- do this only if speed is the 
   primary consideration.

Sophisticated users can also:

* Make a boot disk for your golf sessions with CONFIG.SYS AND AUTOEXEC.BAT 
  files that:
  - Loads the minimal number of memory resident drivers and programs needed
    to run Windows.
  - Does not enable expanded memory (EMM386 should be configured for NOEMS).
  - Does not load SmartDrive (this becomes a tradeoff between more memory 
    and slower hard drive performance -- on some systems this may lead to 
    slower game play).

Installing more memory in your machine can speed up Golf considerably.
4 MB is the minimum amount of memory needed to run golf, but 8 MB is 
recommended.
   
===========================================
CONVERTIBLE COURSES
===========================================

The following low resolution courses (those with a .CRS extension) may be 
converted to Golf 2.0 high resolution courses with the course conversion 
utility (crsconv.exe) supplied with Golf 2.0.

Courses available from Microsoft Corporation:
* Torrey Pines
* Banf
* Maua Kea
* Pinehurst

Courses available from Access Software:
* Barton Creek
* Bay Hill
* Bountiful
* Dorado Beach
* Firestone
* Pinehurst
* Torrey Pines
* Troon North
* Mauna Kea
* Banff Springs

Those courses that have a .CRH extension are compatible with Golf 2.0 
and do not require conversion.
