              Hogbear is an adventure game fashioned after the 
         game of CASTLE.  We have added what we feel are 
         interesting twists to the game.  The monsters can be 
         reincarneted at random.  If you quit the game without 
         saving it, when you restart the game all the treasures 
         and weapons needed to kill the monsters are relocated in 
         the rooms (the furniture is left, just the ARTICALS are 
         moved).  This can lead to an unwinnable game (Maybe), if 
         the weapon and monster end up in the same room.  If you 
         are fast enough you might win.  Then again you might 
         not.  
                Hogbear creates and destroys a file on the disk with 
         the extension of <.FIL> ie-<FILENAME.FIL>. Be sure to 
         install Hogbear on its own disk or sub-directory as any 
         files with the extension of .FIL on Hogbear's disk or 
         directory will be destroyed also. 

              We have tested the game for several months using 
         many testors.  We realize that try as we might we may 
         have left some unforseen anomolies in the game.  If you 
         find a strange or unusual occurence (BUG!!!) while 
         playing the game leave a message on COMPUSERV  
         73377,1345 or GENIE k.seal.  

         Please feel free to place this game , The file HOGBEAR.ARC, 
         on any bulletin board where you feel others will copy it 
         and enjoy it.  

         Thanx a bunch for all your help and GET THE HOGBEAR !!!
