        This Newbyte DOS Based Program has a Windows SETUP program.
        
        The icons for the Newbyte DOS Based Programs will appear in the
        Newbyte window group.

        Note: Because Newbyte DOS Based Programs are DOS based they will
        run faster under DOS only.  However, if you have a fast machine you
        may not notice the speed loss under Windows.


        Problems:

        The most common problem with running the Newbyte DOS Based Programs
        is that the program terminates after the title screen appears.
        This occurs because while you may have a mouse under Windows
        you do not have a DOS mouse driver loaded into memory.

        Steps for loading DOS Mouse Drivers:

        1)  Ensure you have a DOS mouse driver on your system.
        The most common driver is MOUSE.COM, although others such as amouse.com
        and gmouse.com do exist.

        The easiest way to check is the get to the C:> (C prompt) and type MOUSE
        or AMOUSE etc.  If you have a DOS mouse driver a short message should appear.
        If no driver of that name can be found, you will get the message 'bad command
        or file name'.


        If no DOS mouse driver is found check on your mouse disk which should have
        come with your computer.

        2)  Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

                C:\MOUSE.COM


        If the mouse driver is not in the root directory you may have to have
        add the directory i.e.  C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM

        (For the more technically minded - load the mouse driver in high memory.)

        Save your changed AUTOEXEC.BAT.


        3)  Reboot your system for the new autoexec,bat to operate.  Check that the
        program now works.




        It is also advisable to run MEMMAKER from the DOS prompt, to increase to
        available memory for DOS programs.
