Thanks for giving TORUS a try! Below is some information you may find
helpful before you try playing TORUS.
***REQUIREMENTS***
TORUS requires DOS version 3.0 or later to work properly. It also
requires an EGA or VGA compatible display adapter and display. If your
computer does not meet these specs, you will not be able to run TORUS.
TORUS runs best on 386 and 486 class computers. I recommend running
TORUS in EGA mode on 286 computers to help improve performance. Although
the program runs on 8086's and 8088's, it's pretty slow.
TORUS appears to run just fine under the DOS Shell provided with
Windows 3.1. It hasn't been officially tested under Windows 3.0. If you
run under Windows, be sure no other programs are open in the background.
Having other applications open can significantly reduce performance in
TORUS. In any event, I did not specifically design TORUS with Windows
compatibility in mind, so I can't make any promises about running under
current or future versions of Windows. I recommend running TORUS as a
DOS application.
***INSTALLING TORUS***
To install TORUS, simply create a directory on your hard disk and
copy the following files into the new directory: TORUS.EXE, TORUSDAT.EGA,
TORUSDAT.VGA, and README.TRS. You can also run TORUS from a floppy disk
if all four files are located in the same directory on the floppy and
the floppy is not write-protected. A very small amount of disk space
(250 bytes) must be free when you first run TORUS so that the program can
create a file in which high scores are stored (TORUSHI.DAT).
To run TORUS, switch to the directory that contains the files
mentioned above, type "TORUS", and press <RETURN>. You can also add
the TORUS directory to your DOS PATH. If you do so, you will not have to
switch to the TORUS directory when you want to run TORUS.
***HOW TO PLAY THE GAME***
Everything else you need to know about TORUS can be found in the
"info" section of the program. To view this information, run the program
and press "i" when the opening screen appears. It may also help to run
the demo by pressing "d".
