          Battle Chess Enhanced CD-ROM for DOS, version 1.00
          ==================================================

          This file contains information updated since the reference
          card was printed.


          INSTALLATION
          ============

          To install Battle Chess Enhanced CD-ROM, you need to
          know the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.  Some common
          drive letters are D: or S:.  From the DOS prompt, first type
          this drive letter followed by a colon, so:

          D:

          Then change to the CDCHESS directory like this:

          CD CDCHESS

          Then run the installation program by typing:

          INSTALL

          This will run the Battle Chess Enhanced installation
          program, which will ask you about your system configuration
          and what files you want to copy to your hard disk.


          CD SOUND
          ========

          Battle Chess Enhanced CD-ROM uses CD sound for all its
          music, tutorial sound, and combat sound effects.  To hear
          this sound, you need to plug headphones or speakers into
          your CD-ROM drive.  You can plug a pair of powered speakers
          into the drive, or you can use the LINE port of a stereo
          system if you wish.  See your CD manual for details.

          If you purchased your CD-ROM drive as part of an upgrade kit
          that included a sound board, there should be a cable that
          can pipe CD sound through your sound board.  If you make use
          of this cable, just plug your speakers or headphones into
          your sound card and you're ready to go.


          MEMORY
          ======

          Battle Chess Enhanced CD-ROM uses expanded memory (EMS) to
          store its animations.  To use the expanded memory of your
          computer, you need to install an expanded memory driver in
          your CONFIG.SYS file.  Generally, you need the following
          two lines in your CONFIG.SYS file.  You can add these lines
          with the program EDIT, or with any text editor.

          DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
          DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024

          There are other, third-party memory managers available that
          you can use instead of the HIMEM and EMM386 programs.  See
          your DOS manual for more details on expanded memory.


          VIDEO CARDS
          ===========

          Battle Chess Enhanced CD-ROM follows these steps to display
          its Super VGA graphics:

          1.  Battle Chess attempts to recognize your video card
              directly.  If you have a video card that Battle Chess
              can recognize, the INSTALL program will not list any
              video cards, and Battle Chess needs no further information.

          2.  If the card is not recognized, Battle Chess will use
              whatever VESA video driver is loaded.  If your video
              card features a VESA video driver in its ROM, or if you
              have already loaded a VESA video driver, you need not
              choose any of the cards from the list displayed in the
              INSTALL program.

          3.  If your video card doesn't have a VESA video driver
              in its ROM, you need to choose your video card from the
              list of video cards displayed by the INSTALL program. 
              When you do this, the proper VESA driver will be
              installed for you.

          4.  If your video card isn't displayed on the list, 
              don't panic!  You need to find the VESA video driver
              for your video card.  This should be located on a
              floppy disk that came with your video card, and
              it could be named just about anything.  Usually it
              will be named something like VESA.COM or ORCHDVSA.COM.
              Copy this VESA video driver to your CDCHESS directory
              on your hard disk, and rename it VESA.EXE.  Now when
              you run CDCHESS, Battle Chess should correctly identify
              your video card, through the video driver, and run fine.

          If you have gone through the above steps and typing CDCHESS
          doesn't even get the title page to come up, try going into
          the CDCHESS directory and deleting the VESA.EXE program.
          It's possible that your video card already has a VESA
          video driver in its ROM, and if you accidentally try to load
          another VESA driver, there may be a conflict.  If even this
          doesn't work, get another copy of the correct VESA video
          driver for your video card and repeat step 4.
