        WolfPack
        Demo Disk
        Quick Start Card


        Starting the Demo:

        You may load the WolfPack Demo from any disk drive.  Simply
        insert the disk in the drive, type WOLFPACK and press the Enter
        key.

        If you would like to install the demo on a hard drive, place
        the disk in any drive, type INSTALLD and then the drive where
        the demo disk is located (i.e. A:), type a space, and then the
        destination drive (i.e. C:) and press the Enter key.  For the
        above example, your command should look like this:

        INSTALLD A: C:

        Performing the Install procedure will create a directory called
        WOLFDEMO on your hard disk.

        Type WOLFPACK and press the Enter key to play.  The demo will
        prompt you to answer a few questions concerning your system
        configuration. Once you have completed this task the game will
        load.

        If you do not press a key, once the demo has loaded past the
        title screen the game will go into a self running demo.  The
        first screen you see is that of the Submarine.  If you would
        like to take over, use the mouse or joystick to click on User
        Control (the keyboard command is U).  Once you choose User
        Control, the submarine is in your hands.  You command all of
        the Submarines controls and weapons.

        Submarine mission:
        Your objective from the Submarine side is to sink as much
        Allied tonnage as possible.

        Your mission:
        You are to enter a Royal Navy anchorage where several merchant
        ships are waiting to sail.  Your wolf pack consists of three
        submarines. Under these circumstances, this should be enough to
        perform your mission.  However, beware...  There is a destroyer
        protecting the merchants and it is rumored to be equipped with
        the newly discovered Active SONAR.

        If you would like to command a surface vessel (i.e. destroyer
        or merchant ship), you'll need to follow the instructions















        below:

        a) Press Ctrl-Q to stop the demo
        b) Press Esc twice to exit the Submarine Screen.
        c) You will be placed in the Command Screen.  If this were the
        actual game, you would be able to load, save, and create new
        games from this section of the program.
        d) Click on the Surface option located near the top of the
        screen (the keyboard command is Ctrl-D).
        e) Click on the GO box located in the lower left portion of
        the screen (the keyboard command is G).

        Note: To exit from the surface side and return to the
        submarine, follow the steps above (Press Ctrl-S to select
        Submarine rather than Ctrl-D to select Surface).

        The first screen you see on the surface side is a merchant
        ship.  If you would like to take over, use the mouse or
        joystick to click on User Control (the keyboard command is U).

        To select a destroyer, click on the STAT option (the keyboard
        command is S) located in the center of the screen.  A roster of
        ships will be displayed.  Use a mouse or joystick to scroll to the
        bottom of the listing.  Select the only destroyer listed
        (Niblack).  To perform this function using the keyboard, press
        CTRL + or CTRL - to scroll up and down the list, then use the
        arrow keys to move the pointer to the Niblack.  Press the INS
        key to select the ship and you will be transported to bridge of
        the Niblack.

        Once you choose User Control, the destroyer is in your hands.
        You command all of the destroyers controls and weapons.

        Surface Mission:
        Your objective from the surface side is get your convoy to its
        destination undamaged.  However, submarine assaults are
        eminent.  Therefore, you must guide your convoy to safety while
        destroying as many German submarines as possible.

        Your mission:
        You are to protect the anchorage while the convoy gets set to
        sail. Intelligence reports that a German wolf pack might have
        penetrated the submarine nets and plans to strike at night.
        Stay alert and godspeed.

        Submarine Weapons:
        Each submarine has four forward and two aft torpedo tubes.  A
        Deck Gun is also available to fire, if you are completely
        surfaced.  Obviously, torpedoes are more effective.  If you
        surface, you will expose yourself to the surface vessels and
        lose your stealth advantage.
















        Firing torpedoes at a target is done by first clicking on the
        target shown on the screen.   The program will let you know if
        it is in range.  Next you will need to click on the torpedo
        icon located on the far right of the screen (the keyboard
        command is CTRL-F to fire.  CTRL-A will fire the aft torpedoes.
        However, the viewport must be set to greater than 90 degress and
    less than 270 degrees).

        Destroyer Weapons:
        Destroyers have  hedgehogs, depth charges, and deck guns at
        their disposal. Press H to fire hedgehogs, C to release a depth
        charge, and G to fire deck guns.

        We hope you have fun with this demo version of WolfPack.  The
        purpose of this demo is to give you a sample of WolfPack's fine
    quality and gameplay.  The program and documentation include a
        great deal more options and information than that which is contained
    in this demo.
