                            System Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operation Carnage requires:

- A 386DX or above. We "strongly" recommend a 486 for optimum gameplay.
- 530k conventional memory free (565k if you wish to have Music)
- 1.5Mbyte free XMS memory. (1.9Mbyte free XMS if you wish to have Music)
- DOS 5.0 or later. We recommend not running Carnage from Windows 3.1, 
  although there have been no problems starting it from within Windows 95 as 
  a DOS application.
- Approx. 4 Mbyte free Hard Drive space for this demo.

Supported Hardware:

- Soundblaster and 100% Soundblaster compatible cards.
- Joysticks/Gamepads

We strongly recommend playing the game with enough free memory for Music.

                       How to Set up Operation: Carnage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run CARNAGE.EXE to play Operation Carnage.

There is no need to run SETUP.EXE first. Operation Carnage has a powerful 
sound auto-detection program built in, which will attempt to configure your 
sound card parameters automatically for you. 

Should Operation Carnage not detect your sound card correctly, or even crash 
when you attempt to run it, run SETUP.EXE. You will then be able to input 
your sound card parameters manually. If this fails, or if you do not have a  
compatible sound card, select the 'No Sound' option from within SETUP.EXE.

Note to Gravis Ultrasound users: Operation Carnage does not support the 
Gravis card directly, however you should be able to gain sound support by 
activating SBOS first. Consult your Gravis Ultrasound manual for more 
information on this Soundblaster emulation.

To reset the configuration to the standard 'auto-detect' pattern, simply
copy the 'BACKUP.DAT' file over the current 'CONFIG.DAT' file.
