If there are any vocabulary * *  updates they will be noted here.  * The Main 'Manual' is called WOMBAT.MAN Type it on screen or print it out by entering: Copy Wombat.Man prn: I suggest that you glance at the manual before playing the game, but if you'd prefer not to, then the game may be started by typing (at the DOS prompt): Wombat .PB << * Please Note... * >> If you haven't read the manual, you should at least glance through it now for notes on the SAVE and RESTORE feature when used in conjunction with Memory Resident Programs. If you have a colour monitor or if you don't like the 'look' of the game for any reason, the colours may be altered by using the SetUp program. Enter the word: Setup at the Dos prompt. .PB << Bugs....??? >> ................ugh! While I've done all I can to eliminate bugs, 'The Golden Wombat' has not undergone months of rigorous testing by an army of dedicated gnomes. I cannot, therefore, guarantee that it will behave itself properly under all possible circumstances. If you should encounter any problems, make sure you have read the manual for suggestions and advice. If the game 'mysteriously' doesn't behave as it should - turn your computer off, mutter dark incantations against me, turn the computer on again. Load the Wombat 'clean' ( no other programs lurking around ), and try again. You are probably thinking to yourself that this is just the kind of feeble and mind-rottingly unhelpful advice that some of the bigger 'software houses' never bother to provide, aren't you.... It's all part of the service, folks. .PB << A Checklist of the files on this disc >> On the next page there is a full directory ( not including the file you are currently reading, which is called 'Read.Txt' ): .PB File Name File Size WOMBAT COM 51588 NEW_ADV 000 5632 NEW_ADV 001 71168 NEW_ADV 002 2816 NEW_ADV 003 5120 NEW_ADV 004 4096 NEW_ADV 005 17152 NEW_ADV 006 7680 R DAT 1008 O DAT 1000 T DAT 1000 REC DAT 1532 WOMBAT MAN 19971 COLOURS2 ALT 59 COLOURS3 ALT 61 COLOURS ALT 58 READ COM 12808 SETUP COM 21459 .PB << Seasoned Wombatters >> Read Manual for notes of bug-fixes ( ...er, I mean 'enhancements' ) << Etc... >> To quit the game, type 'Q' (then 'Y' when asked to). Do not use the 'Break' or 'Control-C' key. These keys will not quit the game, but they may affect the screen display. The END is Nigh....? ( maybe ) To comfort anyone who feels unhappy that there is no score in The Golden Wombat, here is a short and helpful note to help you know when you've arrived at the game's conclusion... If you are in any doubt, you're still not there... OK...? .PB Special thanks to Sean Casey for testing and John Kozak who suggested the name of the game over the third pint one fateful night... Good wombatting... Huw
