** ZORRO CDROM SHAREWARE ** March 2, 1995 Type INSTALL to setup Zorro. Once the game is loaded, press F1 for keyboard commands, F2 to Save Game & F3 to Load Game. (MEMORY MANAGERS) Zorro is NOT compatible with 386 Max. Make sure to make a boot disk which does not use the 386MAX.SYS memory manager. Here is a sample of what a boot disk may look like for DOS 6.0. (FILES ON FLOPPY) AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.UMB CHKSTATE.SYS COMMAND.COM CONFIG.SYS {ALL OF THESE FILES CAN BE COPIED DIRECTLY CONFIG.UMB FROM YOUR DOS DIRECTORY TO THE FLOPPY.} EDIT.COM EMM386.EXE HIMEM.SYS MEM.EXE MEMMAKER.EXE MEMMAKER.HLP MEMMAKER.INF MEMMAKER.STS SIZER.EXE (AUTOEXEC.BAT) @ECHO OFF SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4 {SOUND BLASTER INIT STRING} PROMPT $P$G LH /L:1,27984 C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:SONY_000 {YOUR CD DRIVER MAY BE DIFFERENT} CLS (CONFIG.SYS) DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=A:\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN D=64 {NEEDED FOR VIDEO PLAYBACK} BUFFERS=20,0 FILES=30 DOS=UMB LASTDRIVE=E FCBS=4,0 DOS=HIGH STACKS=0,0 DEVICEHIGH /L:1,38256 =C:\DEV\SLCD.SYS /D:SONY_000 /B:340 /M:15 /V /C {YOUR CD DRIVER MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN THE ABOVE.} (SVGA PROBLEMS) Some video cards are automatically recognized by Smacker and no VESA driver is needed. Other cards such as the ATI MACH32 need to have a VESA driver loaded before the video can be played. If Smacker doesn't recognize your video card, you will get an error message stating the Smacker can't set an SVGA driver. Simply run your VESA driver for your video card before you load Zorro. (UPDATES) New versions of Zorro, if need be, can be downloaded from AOL, Compuserve, Software Creations BBS (F156) as well as our Home BBS.

This is particularly important near the end of the mines. Also, by making Zorro jump up or squat, you will notice that Zorro actually moves ahead less than actually taking a complete step. In other words, you can press up or down to take smaller steps. (MINES) Zorro starts this level on the upper left hand portion of the TOTAL map. Only one portion of the total map is displayed on the screen at any given time; usually about 50 screens equal an entire level. Maps are basically divided in to an 8x8 area. (8 screens across & 8 screens down.) The Exit is in the lower right hand corner of the entire map. (JUNGLE) Zorro starts this level in the bottom right and the Exit is in the top left. Beware of Man-Eating plants. The only way to get by them is to run and jump past their vines. The Path to follow here is to go up the right side of the map and then straight across the top to the exit on the left.
