Thank You for purchasing THE ADVENTURES
OF MADDOG WILLIAMS Vol 1.  To help you
in getting started we have provided the
following information.

MIDI Support.

We support several of the Roland sound
modules.  To get MIDI playback select
YES at the CHANGE OPTIONS? prompt. You
then will see a list of the currently
supported devices.  Select the sound
module you have by pressing the number
next to it.  If you do not have one of
the supported modules then select 
6. NONE OF THE ABOVE.


RAM DISK.

The RAM DISK is supported only on a
machine with 1Meg or more of memory. 
The default option for using the RAM
DISK is YES.  If you would rather that
each screen is loaded from the disk
separately then select YES at the CHANGE
OPTIONS? prompt. Then select your MIDI
device, (if you don't have one then
select #6).  Select NO at the USE RAM
DISK (Y/N) prompt.  Now each screen will
load individually from the disk during a
screen change.
The RAM DISK is not supported when
running the game from a Hard Drive.

BRIGHTNESS CONTROL.

We have found that monitors range from
very dark to very light.  We have
provided a means for adjusting the
screen brightness.  To brighten the
screen hold the Cntrl key and press the
+ key on the number pad.  To darken the
screen hold the Cntrl key and press - on
the number pad.  For best visual results
we suggest you play the game in a dimly
lit room.  Please consult a physician
before playing any adventure game. (Ha
ha, sorry about that.)

HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION.

To install the game to a hard drive,
create a directory named MADDOG on the
hard disk.  Copy the install program
into the directory and then run the
INSTALL program from the hard drive. 
Follow the prompts and you are on your
way.  To run the game double click on 
MADDOG.PRG.

MAKING BACKUPS.

We have provided a utility to make a
backup of your original disks.  We
suggest you play from the backups and
store your originals.  To make backups
you must have 5 blank disks labeled:

INTRODUCTION
CHAPTERS 1/2
CHAPTERS 3/4
CHAPTERS 5/6
CHAPTERS 7/8

 PLEASE WRITE PROTECT YOUR ORIGINALS.

Double click on BACKUP.PRG and follow
the prompts.

The backup utility is provided for your
convenience in making a backup for
personal use.  The material on these
disks is copyrighted material and it is
against federal law to make copies for
any other purpose other than for
personal use and is subject to criminal
prosecution.  In other words don't make

relatives.  We have worked long and hard
to bring you a quality game and we
depend upon you the consumer to buy it
so we can earn a living and continue to
create new games for you.

THE MAP.

The map is provided so you may answer
the questions the guardian at the
beginning of the game will ask.  Keep it
handy as it also shows the area you will
be traveling in.  If you are unable to
answer the questions posed by the
guardian, the game will go into DEMO
mode.  You will only be allowed to
travel around the valley of Marinor. 
You will be prevented from going into
the ELVIN FOREST west of marinor.

SAVE/RESTORE.

To save a game press the F4 key.  To
restore a game press the F5 key.

MISCELLANEOUS.

It is recommended that you try and run
the program with no desk accessories or
other TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)
programs in memory.  The program
requires all of the available memory.

To use a joystick, plug it into PORT 1
and press CNTRL J.
You will see the key icon at the top of
the screen change to a joystick.
