------------------- Installing Conquered Kingdoms: ----------------------------

   Insert the first Conquered Kingdoms disk in a floppy drive and
switch to that drive.  Type "INSTALL" to start the install program. 
Follow the directions onscreen and choose the installation option.
For example, if you want to use drive A to install Conquered Kingdoms
from, type the following:
      A:
      INSTALL

--------------------- Playing Conquered Kingdoms: -----------------------------

For program options such as Adlib sound, see the section after this one.

To play from hard drive:
   Switch to the correct partition and subdirectory, then type CC.
   For example, if the hard drive is C, and the directory is CC, type 
   the following:
      C:
      CD \CC
      CC

-------------------------- Start up options: ----------------------------------

Whenever starting up Conquered Kingdoms, the following commands can be used:
  (ie.  CC A   if you want Adlib sound)
   A - use Adlib sound.
   B - use Soundblaster sound.
   N - disable all sound.
   E - no EGA page flipping (for EGA cards with less than 256K memory).

Be sure your mouse driver is loaded before starting the game.

----------------------- More modem information: -------------------------------

   When in the modem window, use Function key 8 to send Control-C signals,
F9 to send Control-S.  In the game's D directory (usually \CC\D) is a text
file called AVOID.DAT.  This contains a list of codes that the program should
avoid sending out over the modem unless told to by the user.  This list usually
contains 3, the ASCII equivelent of Control-C, and 19 for Control-S.  You may
add to this list to avoid errors while operating over large networks.  The
1st number in the file is the total codes contained.  The 2nd line contains the
codes, seperated by commas and spaces.  This file must contain the same data
on both machines when playing modem games.
