Thexder Demo Readme File

This demo of Thexder is designed to only work on Windows 95. It will not 
run under any other operating systems. 

1. For faster loading and gameplay, you can copy the entire Thexder game 
onto your hard drive. After you run the setup program, copy all game files
to your SIERRA\THEXDER directory. Then change your Thexder shortcut 
in Windows 95 to point to c:\SIERRA\THEXDER\THEXDER.EXE.

2. When Windows 95 is focused on Thexder, it will not allow sounds for 
other applications to play. To do so, exit THEXDER and run your desired 
application.
