PIPE DREAM (TM)



    Congratulations on your purchase of Pipe Dream.  We hope you'll find
this game both challenging and entertaining.  This short "read me" file has
been included as an explanation of some of the game features that don't
appear in the manual.


    Pipe Dream requires a minimum of 256K of RAM to run.  It will work with
CGA, EGA, VGA, MCGA, Tandy, and Hercules graphics boards.


    We have provided a utility to install Pipe Dream onto your hard disk:

 1. Insert the disk in drive A.

 2. Type A: and press ENTER.

 3. When you see the A> prompt, type the word INSTALL followed by a
    space, the letter of your hard disk, a colon, and then press ENTER.
    For example, if your hard disk is 'C', enter:  INSTALL C:


    If you have an EGA, VGA, or MCGA card and are willing to trade fewer
colors for faster response, you may want to try playing the game in CGA
mode.  To do this, enter:

    PIPE C

instead of just "PIPE".


    If you normally use a type-ahead buffer program, you should disable
it when playing Pipe Dream.  Although the game may seem to run well, many
type-ahead programs will cause subtle problems.


    If you wish to use the mouse or joystick(s), they must be installed
before starting the program up.  In two player games, the mouse will be
given to player one, and the joystick to player two.


    When configuring the keyboard, keep in mind that many keys are already
being used.  If you are playing a one player game, and wish to use some of
the keys which have been assigned to player two, you must change the keys
for player two first.


    If, when you configure the keyboard, you want to use the Keypad-5 key,
be sure to engage Num Lock so that key will be recognized.


    If you have a VGA card and the game doesn't come up properly when you
enter "PIPE", try forcing it into MCGA mode with:

    PIPE M
