===LATE-BREAKING NEWS======================================================

This "README" file has some additional information and late-breaking news
that could not make the manual as well as some important pieces of
technical information.

MEMORY REQUIREMENTS. UNDERSEA ADVENTURE requires approximately 520KB of
RAM in order to run.  Even when there is adequate total RAM to run the
program, there may be conflicts with other programs occupying memory.  If
you experience difficulty in running UNDERSEA ADVENTURE under these
circumstances, please remove other memory resident programs from memory.
In MS-DOS versions 5.0 and above type "MEM /C | MORE" to see what programs
and drivers are loaded in memory.  To verify the RAM available, check the
next screen for "Largest executable program size" parameter in K.
In MS-DOS version 6.0 and above try running the MEMMAKER program to free
more conventional RAM. For more information about conventional memory and
memory management please consult your DOS manual.

RUNNING FROM WINDOWS.  To avoid possible complications under the Windows
environment, clicking on the UNDERSEA ADVENTURE icon will actually shut
down Windows, run UNDERSEA ADVENTURE, then re-start Windows on exit from
UNDERSEA ADVENTURE.  You may get a message saying, "Application still
active. Quit the application before quitting Windows." Switch to any other
running DOS applications and exit them normally, then click on the UNDERSEA
ADVENTURE icon again.  If you have Windows applications already running,
they will be shut down and you will be asked to save any unsaved data.

REINSTALLATION.  This product has been pre-installed by IBM. If it is 
necessary to reinstall, perform the following:
     
1. Exit Windows and install from DOS. For detailed instructions on DOS
   installation see the Getting Started section. Be sure to answer YES 
   to the question about running from Windows.
     
2. Restart Windows, by typing WIN.
     
3. When in Program Manager, click on the KA program icon to select it. 
   Then go to the File menu and choose Properties. A change must be made 
   to the Command Line of the Program Item Properties box. It will have a 
   line similar to:
     
          C:\SEA\KAWIN.EXE SEA.BAT -p
     
   Edit that line to the following:
     
          C:\PS1TOOLS\ARIADOS SEA.BAT -p
     
4. To restore the original icon, click on Change Icon in the Program Item
   Properties box. Click on OK when the Change Icon box indicates no icon 
   can be found. Click on Browse in the Change Icon box. Double click on 
   C:\ under Directories in the Browse box.  Double click on the SEA 
   directory. Double click on SEA.ICO then click on OK twice. 
     
5. Repeat step 3 for the Read Me icon. Change the Command Line of the
   Program Item Properties box from:
     
   C:\SEA\KAWIN.EXE README.BAT       
     
   to:
     
   C:\PS1TOOLS\ARIADOS README.BAT    
     
6. To restore the original icon, follow step 4 using the README.ICO instead 
   of SEA.ICO.


ALT-S/ALT-M. These keys will toggle sound and music (respectively) off and
on, this feature may not be functional in all areas of the program.

LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK COMPUTER DISPLAYS. UNDERSEA ADVENTURE requires a color VGA
monitor to display its high-resolution images.  It will not work on the
internal plasma or LCD monitors on laptop PCs.  Most laptops, however,
have a connector for an external monitor, and UNDERSEA ADVENTURE will work
fine with your laptop hooked to an external VGA monitor.  UNDERSEA
ADVENTURE will run fine on certain laptop screens, such as the Toshiba
4400SXC, COMPAQ LTE's and the PC BRAND NB 486slc which have 256 shades of
grey or color screens.  The only problem will be that the right edge of
the screen will be slightly cut off.  This is due to the fact that
UNDERSEA ADVENTURE runs in the extra high resolution VGA video mode of 360
x 480 pixels with 256 colors and most of the internal laptop screens can
only display 320 pixels in width.

MONO, CGA, and EGA DISPLAYS. UNDERSEA ADVENTURE requires a VGA color
monitor and therefore will not run on these monitors.

MOUSE SUPPORT. UNDERSEA ADVENTURE takes great advantage of your mouse if
you have one, but it does not require one.  There are keyboard equivalents
which will allow you to enjoy the product without a mouse.  Refer to
"USING UNDERSEA ADVENTURE" for more information.

DIGITIZING TABLETS.  Digitizing tablets are not supported by UNDERSEA
ADVENTURE. If you are using a digitizing tablet and it is not functioning
properly, unplug the tablet, plug in a mouse, and restart UNDERSEA ADVENTURE.
Your tablet manufacturer may be able to provide a software solution to any
problems experienced.

LOW VOLUME SOUND OR MUSIC.  Sound cards that allow software volume control
may have different volume levels for sound and music.  If you hear a
noticeable difference, you should run the volume control program that came
with you sound card to equal out the settings.

WINMATE USERS.  UNDERSEA ADVENTURE install program will not generate a
Knowledge Adventure program group and icon if you run under Winmate - even
if you said YES to the Windows question during install.  Manually add the
UNDERSEA Icon to Winmate after installation is complete.

COMPAQ PROLINEA.  During INSTALL, press ENTER if you get a message stating
that you do not have a VGA System.  If you receive a similar message while
executing UNDERSEA, please contact Compaq Technical Support for a patch
program that will correct this problem with some early model Prolineas.

REVEAL SOUND FX.  For inquiries about your Sound FX, contact Reveal at
(800) 4-REVEAL or fax (818) 340-2379.
