Thank you for downloading Witches!  Note that this game requires
Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0 and above.  You'll also need a color 
monitor capable of at least 16-bit color, and probably a decent-speed
processor (I use a Pentium 2, and it runs great).  You'll need a
sound card to hear sounds (duh) and a MIDI-capable sound card to
hear the music (I prefer the better SoundBlaster cards, at least
midi-wise).

If this game seems to be running slow, you can try two things.
REDUCE THE MONITOR SIZE to about 640x480 or 800x600.  If that doesn't
work, try also REDUCING THE COLOR DEPTH to 16-bit color.  You can
do both of these things by right-clicking the desktop, choosing
"Options", then clicking on the "Properties" tag.

If you run into any bugs please email bugs@strangegames.com.  For
anything else just email burton@strangegames.com.  And please do 
register the game -- it's how you reward me for making it.

Thank you,
James Burton
