This is an untampered Version of MechTech: Earthsiege CD which features the
full animated intro. Unlike the lame PTM release it does not need to be 
installed.

To run you need only do the following:

1) Make a directory for the game (Example C:\MTECH)

2) Un-ARJ the Game using ARJ x -v EARTHCD C:\MTECH

3) The Sound is current set to none. To set your sound card run SOUNDSET

4) Run SUBST A: C:\MTECH before playing. You may want to add this to ES.BAT
   ES.BAT Contains an eviormental variable with the location of the CD-ROM
   drive to find the files, in this case this must point to the game on the
   hard drive. This variable may be altered as long as the SUBST points
   to the correct directory

5) Run ES.BAT to play


PROBLEMS:

Sierra has fucked up again on this one, like the disk version it is VERY 
tempermental. If something is in memory and the game doesn't like then the 
game will not work, usually with a bizarre Memory Error or a crash.

Here are some of the problems:

- Will NOT work with QEMM, boot with HIMEM.SYS

- Will NOT work with most caches. Tests with Norton NCache and Lantastic 
  LANCache failed. SMARTDRV worked on several occasions, try this one.

- Will NOT work with Network Drivers in memory

- Sound Blaster AWE support is flawed, if you select SB AWE the game may 
  abort after the intro. If so you will have to play with SB FM Music.
