REDHOOK'S REVENGE Version 1.1 February 1, 1993 Copyright (c) 1993, ImagiSOFT, Inc. All rights reserved. ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS QUESTION: I get the message "VGA Monitor required." when I try to run Redhook's Revenge. What I do? ANSWER: Your IBM compatible PC doesn't have a VGA monitor. If you want to run Redhook's Revenge, you will have to go to a computer store to see it run. Maybe you'll decide that it's time to get a new computer! QUESTION: Can I run Redhook's Revenge from a floppy drive? ANSWER: Yes, by entering the command REDHOOK, but the game will run slower than it would on a hard drive. QUESTION: How do I install Redhook's Revenge to my hard drive? ANSWER: We have provided a simple installation program so that you can install Redhook's Revenge to your hard drive: 1. Insert the diskette into the floppy drive. 2. Type A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL) then press [Enter]. 3. Follow the instructions as they appear on your screen. You can install it to any directory that you want to, but for the purposes of this documentation, we assume that you will install it to C:\REDHOOK. QUESTION: My mouse works in Microsoft Windows, why doesn't it work in Redhook's Revenge? ANSWER: Windows has special built-in drivers to support mice. Our software looks for a Microsoft compatible mouse driver which is loaded when you turn on your computer. A diskette should have come with your mouse which contains MOUSE.SYS, MOUSE.COM or similar files. Try placing the command DEVICE = MOUSE.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file or the command MOUSE.COM in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. These are the files that DOS executes when you turn on your computer, and if your mouse is Microsoft compatible, your mouse should now work. QUESTION: Can Redhook's Revenge be run under Microsoft Windows? ANSWER: Yes, although it is not a Windows product. Here's how: 1. In the Program Manager press the ALT-F for the "Files Menu". 2. Press N for "New". 3. Select "Program Item". 4. Under "Description" enter Redhook. 5. Under "Command Line" enter \REDHOOK\REDHOOK.PIF. 6. Press the "Change Icon" button and when it prompts for the file name enter \REDHOOK\REDHOOK.ICO then press OK. QUESTION: I get the message "Not enough memory" and my program doesn't run. What can I do? ANSWER: You need a computer with at least 640K memory to run our software. Run the CHKDSK command to make sure that you have "655360 total bytes memory". The last line tells you how many bytes your computer has free. If your computer has less than 560000 bytes free, a program loaded in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file is taking up memory. Locate a knowledgeable person and ask him/her to help you get these programs out of your memory. If you have a 286 or 386 computer and 1 megabyte of memory or more, you can free additional memory by upgrading to DOS 5.0. QUESTION: I don't understand what "shareware" is. Why do I have to order Redhook's Revenge if I already have a copy of it? ANSWER: Because you haven't paid for it. If you "bought" Redhook's Revenge from a shareware vendor, you only paid for the disk, not the actual program. At the opening screen of Redhook's Revenge, press the F2 key. A detailed explanation about the shareware concept will appear for you there. To reward those who actually register Redhook's Revenge we have included extra "bonus" features which are not in the shareware version. See the order form for details. Thank you for playing Redhook's Revenge! We hope you get hours of enjoyment from our program. If you have any further questions or problems, please contact us: ImagiSOFT, Inc.
