o  MIDI soundtrack not implemented.

o  Load and Save game functions not implemented.

o  Audio volume and display options not implemented.
   You can adjust the game volume by using the Windows 95 volume
   control panel.  From the Start menu, choose Programs / Accessories /
   Multimedia / Volume Control.  Or, just adjust your speakers.

o  Occasionally, especially when flying straight up or down, the game
   may encounter an error which causes the game to pause.  If the game
   stops for no apparent reason, hit enter or the R key.  (Since the
   game runs in fullscreen mode, the error dialog cannot appear, but
   hitting enter will nonetheless clear it.)

o  Digital joysticks not supported.

o  Display errors associated with screen blanking software and energy
   saving features of some monitors.  To restore the screen, OK any 
   error dialog and move the Squeezil.

o  Performace drop off after repeated restarts.  If your Squeezil dies
   and you restart him several times, the game may slow down.  To
   correct this, exit the game and restart it.

Q: I see the message, "Display Error QueryInterface failed. (Direct 3D) 
   Generic Failure" when I try to start Squeezils.

A: DirectX II must be installed on your system in order for Squeezils to
   run.  If you have not installed DirectX II, download the DirectX2.exe
   file and follow the installation instructions.  If you have installed
   DirectX II, make sure you have restarted your machine.  If you have
   restarted your computer and continue to see this message, reinstall
   DirectX II.
