 1. Introduction :
 *****************

     RAILWAYS can be run in the following VESA-SVGA modes :
       - 800x600    16 colours
       - 1024x768   16 colours
       - 1280x1024  16 colours (may not work with all video cards)

     Default mode is VGA, but you can choose the mode you want in the
     configuration file named RLW-US.CFG. (See section VI. of README.TXT)
     SVGA modes are available for VESA compatible video cards.

 2. Configuration :
 ******************

     RAILWAYS is a DOS-based program. Nevertheless, it can be launched in
     Win3.1 and Win95 either from a DOS session or from the
     file-manager/desktop. Read your Windows manual for further information.
     A DOS mouse-driver must be loaded before running RLW.
     Edit RLW-US.CFG (RAILWAYS configuration file).
     Change the "Graphics Mode" field to "Vesa800", "Vesa1024" or "Vesa1280".
     Run RAILWAYS (RLW.EXE or RLW86.EXE). The mouse hand-shape should
     appear after the first presentation screen and move around the screen.
     If not, something wrong happened.

     Note :
       With some video cards, you may have to use UNIVBE graphics driver.
       This driver is available on many FTP hosts, or in some game packages.
       You can find a version of this driver at this address :
       ftp://ftp.mis.enac.fr/pub/Railways in univbeXX.zip.
