CONFIG.SYS and MEMORY

Some of the game demos on this CD-ROM require your machine to be set up to
use Extended or Expanded memory. The EMM386.EXE driver (usually found in the
C:\DOS directory of your hard disk) is used to configure it.
Other games require a lot of lower (conventional 640Kb) memory and you can
gain more by setting the EMM386 driver to use NOEMS.

Here are the two main settings for the EMM386 driver - only 1 must be
present at any one time:

1)      DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM        (allows EMS/XMS usage)
2)      DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS      (provides maximum base memory)

Remember that this line should be in your CONFIG.SYS file, and MUST be below
any HIMEM.SYS command.

If any game fails to run with one of these commands present, swap it for the
other.  If you find that the game still fails to load, check that the game
does not require more memory than your machine has.

Most of the demos should function correctly if you have at least 590Kb of
free base memory, and 8Mb of RAM.  To check the amount of FREE memory on 
your PC, at the C:\ prompt type:
MEM <enter>

The line: Largest executable program size : xxxKb relates closely to the
free base memory.  If the figure falls below 590Kb, you should either make a 
boot disk (refer to your DOS manual about the process for doing this) OR run
Microsoft MemMaker utility, which will examine your system and find the best
possible alternative setup for your PC.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT THIS, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM
           FILES (CONFIG.SYS AND AUTOEXEC.BAT) TO A DISKETTE IN CASE OF A 
           DISASTER FATALE.

To run it, just type MEMMAKER <enter> at the C:\ prompt and follow the on-
screen instructions.
*** DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS FROM WITHIN WINDOWS OR WINDOWS DOS PROMPT ***
