NOTES
=====

RUNNING THE ANIMATION IS SIMPLE FIRST OF ALL MAKE SURE THAT THE FOLLOWING FILES ARE INCLUDED
IN THE ZIP FILE:

BIRDY.TXT	- THIS FILE
BIRDY.EXE	- WINDOWS ANIMATION FILE COMPILED INTO AN EXECUTABLE FILE

SINCE ALL FINALS WEEK PRODUCTION ANIMS ARE .EXE FILES, THERE IS NO NEED FOR A PLAYER PROGRAM
TO VIEW THEM.  SIMPLY RUN THE .EXE FILE FROM THE RUN OPTION OF THE FILE PULL-DOWN MENU IN THE
PROGRAM MANAGER.  YOU WILL SEE THE ANIMATION WORKS INTERACTIVE LOAD SCREEN WHILE THE ANIMATION
LOADS.  THEN JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY OUR HANDI-WORK.

TROUBLESHOOTING
===============

IF AFTER LOADING THE ANIMATION REFUSES TO PLAY (I.E. NOTHING HAPPENS) THEN TRY THIS.

- CHECK YOUR WINDOWS SYSTEM RESOURCES AND AVAILABLE MEMORY (About Program Manager)
- MEMORY NECESSARY DEPENDS ON RESOLUTION AND NUMBER OF COLORS.  For example:
  VGA 640 X 480, 16 COLORS REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY 2.0 MEGS OF FREE MEMORY
- CLOSE OTHER WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
- RUN WINDOWS IN 386 ENHANCED MODE (this accesses all memory and the windows swap file)
