README file for SCORCH v1.0
updated 20 JULY 91
This file contains last minute instructions and changes to SCORCH.
Distribution List:
==================
The full distribution of Scorched Earth consists of the following files:
Filename Size Description
------------- ------- --------------------------------
FIX .BAT 83 Utility to remove bad .cfg files
README . 3082 This file
SCORCH .CFG 3724 Scorched Earth Configuration File

Printing the Documentation:
===========================
Make sure your printer is on, online, and has paper. SCORCH.DOC takes
about 40 pages. Then type COPY SCORCH.DOC PRN. Then hit Enter, of course.
Or use any program that will print files, such as your favorite word
processor.
VGA note:
=========
Scorched Earth (SCORCH) is a VGA only game. It will not run on any other
type of system.
Fixing Problems:
================
If you have a problem with SCORCH when changing settings, you can just
delete the SCORCH.CFG file and run SCORCH. It will return to the default
settings. Or, just run FIX.BAT, and it will get rid of the bad SCORCH.CFG
file.
DOS 5.0 and QEMM:
=================
In the final stage of development for SCORCH, it was discovered that
variations of DOS 5.0 and QEMM could possibly cause problems with SCORCH.
If this is the case on your system, just remove QEMM for the time during
which you are playing SCORCH. Please notify us, whether you are a
registered user or not, and we will tell you of any fixes or work-arounds,
as they become available. (Try to get service like THAT somewhere else!)
Other problems/suggestions:
===========================
If you have any ideas or bug reports, please contact the author.
All comments are welcome, whether or not you are a registered user.

============================================================================
Most of all, Don't forget that Scorched Earth is Shareware. The game is
good, if somewhat addictive. The price is cheap. So why not support the
game, its further development, and the whole shareware concept by sending
in your $10.
As they say on T.V. "Thank you for your support."
