NOTE 1:
   
   This program is written in Visual Basic.  Thus it needs the 
   VBRUN100.DLL (which is included) to run.  If you got your copy
   from an online service or bulletin board take note:
        Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN100.DLL file from Windows
        programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
        If you are missing the VBRUN100.DLL file, log back on to
        the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
        find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
        how he/she allows people to acquire it.  
   
NOTE 2:

        There is a Windows setup program included.  To run the setup
        program from DOS, be sure you are in the directory in which
        the World Empire II files reside.  Then type "EMPIRE-3" and hit
        enter.  A batch file will run WIndows and execute the setup
        program for you, creating a Program Group and an Empire
        icon.

        To run the setup from Windows, use the File Manager to locate
        the directory where your World Empire II files are, then find the
        file SETUP.EXE and double-click on it or select 'Run" from the
        File Manager's "File Menu" after highlighting the file.

NOTE 3:
   
   It has come to my attention that certain SVGA video hardware
   is non-compatible with the MicroSoft Visual Basic Environment and
   causes problems every so often in 800 x 600 mode and more often in
   1024 x 768 resolution.  Buttons will be misplaced in relation to 
   maps, etc.  At the moment there is one solution:
        Open the Windows Setup icon and select CHANGE SYSTEM SETTINGS
        from the OPTIONS menu.  Follow the prompts to change your
        video mode to a 640 x 480 resolution driver.  The game will
        now run fine.  When you're finished, return to Setup and
        re-install your original driver.
        This is a patch, of course, but rest assured the problem
        will be addressed in the next version of World Empire II,
        version 2.1.  We're sorry for the inconvenience.
   
   
   Happy conquering!
