    ========================================================================================================

Configuring a Windows 95 DOS box.
---------------------------------

The Setup program normally installs EF2000 V2.0 (Graphics plus) and configures
the game to run from the desktop. Should any problems be encountered the procedure
detailed below should be followed.

Click with your right mouse button on an empty area of your Windows 95 desktop.

From the menu, select 'New'.

From the submenu, select 'Shortcut'.

In the 'Command line' edit box, type the drive, path, and filename of the games batch file.
e.g. C:\EF2000\EF2000.BAT

Type a name for the shortcut you are creating. e.g. Graphics Plus.

Now select an icon for the shortcut.

The shortcut will now be on your desktop.

Click with your right mouse button on the newly created shortcut.

Select 'Properties' from the menu.

On the 'Program' tab page :

   Ensure that the 'Working' edit box specifies the drive and path in which the game files
   are located. e.g. C:\EF2000

   Put a check in the 'Close on exit' checkbox. Should you encounter any problems running
   the game, this can be unchecked so that any errors returned to the DOS box can be
   reported.

On the 'Memory' tab page :

   Set 'Initial environment' to 2048.

   Put a check in the 'Protected' checkbox.

   Set 'Expanded (EMS) memory' to None.

   Set 'Extended (XMS) memory' to None.

   Put a check in the 'Uses HMA' checkbox.

   Set 'MS-DOS protected-mode (DPMI) memory' to 65535.

On the 'Screen' tab page :

   Select the 'Full-screen' radio button.

   Uncheck the 'Dynamic memory allocation' checkbox.

On the 'Misc' tab page :

   Uncheck the 'Allow screen saver' checkbox.

   Move the 'Idle sensitivity' slider to low.   

   Uncheck all of 'Windows shortcut keys' checkboxes.
   
Finally, click on 'OK'. The shortcut is now configured and can be run
by double clicking on it.


General.
--------

ALT F7 - Decrease gamma correction
ALT F8 - increase gamma correction


3Dfx based cards.
-----------------

Although this game is run from Windows 95, it is not a native application. This means that
GLIDE.DLL and SST1INIT.DLL (3Dfx's proprietary Windows 95 DLLs) are not used and have no
bearing whatsoever on our product's performance.

When running on some systems, the game's sound effects may be heard to stutter. 
Should you encounter this problem, the 3Dfx wait should be increased as per keys below until
the sound resumes normal operation. The default is to not wait at all. 

ALT -    Decrease 3Dfx wait. 
ALT +    Increase 3Dfx wait.

It should be noted that the above keys must be pressed repeatedly - they do not auto repeat.

If the above procedure does not produce the result you require then the addition of the line:

   set sst_wait_on_vsync_enable=0

in your autoexec.bat will solve the sound stutter. It should be noted that this method
may produce some visual problems such as "tearing".

After installation of the 3Dfx version windows may tell you that the program is better if
it is run under DOS, If presented with the option, click on NO. The accelerated
versions of EF2000 will only work reliably when run in a Win95-DOS environment

Rendition V1000 based cards.
----------------------------

The Rendition V1000 version of the game utilizes the Windows 95 display drivers.
Some older versions of these drivers fail when used by a DOS program. Always ensure that
the most recent drivers are installed and selected.

ALT F10 
Cycle gamma correction mode. Initially gamma correction affects red, green and 
blue simultaneously. By changing the gamma correction mode, subsequent presses of 
ALT F7 and ALT F8 can be made to affect red, green and blue components individually.
The available modes are RGB(simultaneously), R(individually), G(individually), and
B(individually).

ALT F9
Toggle shape anti-aliasing on/off. This results in mobile shapes such as planes and tanks
having their external smoothed.


PLEASE NOTE:
If you are using the rendition version of EF2000 V2.0, Installation of DirectX 3
may cause the error:
"Couldn't open Verite card. Error 50 code 1"
when trying to play the game. This problem is rectified by installing the Rendition
video drivers again.
