    HELPFUL HINTS:

****************************************************************************


A little help goes a long way!!!

  Before attempting to play a game, as tempting as it is, please take a
  moment to read any files that may be associated with the game.  Here,
  you will find invaluable information regarding game controls, possible
  tips, tricks and more.


Read all enclosed documentation!!!

  Most of the programs we carry have extensive documentation on how to play
  a game, how to reconfigure it and more.  These files typically are called
  README or READ.  The extensions of files that should be read are .DOC,
  .TXT and for Windows they may be .WRI.  You can view these files with just
  about any word processing program.  And we strongly recommend that you do.
  Most of the calls we receive can be answered through the information in
  these files.  If you are thinking that we are beating this horse to death
  then you are correct.  Most of the phone calls that we receive are questions
  regarding game controls and cheat codes which can be found in these help
  files.


PLEASE NOTE:

  All programs are in the default mode.  If a program locks up your system
  or appears to be functioning improperly, change the default configuration
  settings to comply with your system.



**************************************************************************

    Memory Problems

**************************************************************************

  If the program does not run properly or returns a message
  NOT ENOUGH MEMORY, please try the following:

  If you are running DOS 6.0 or later, at the DOS prompt  type MEMMAKER.
  This program will configure your system to run your memory more
  efficiently. If the problem is because of expanded memory, when running
  MEMMAKER answer YES to the question asking whether your will be using
  expanded memory.

  If you are not running DOS 6.0 or above some changes that will help in
  making your memory a little more efficient are:

    In your config.sys file, add the lines

       DEVICE=EMM386.EXE 2048 RAM
       DOS=HIGH,UMB

  This will reserve 2mb of expanded memory and move DOS into the HIGH MEMORY
  AREA.  Moving DOS into the HMA is strongly recommended to free as much
  base memory as possible.

  If your program does not call for EXPANDED memory, but does call for EXTENDED
  memory, you can switch the '2048 RAM' above to NOEMS.  And do include the
  DOS=HIGH,UMB.
