Carriers at War II Information:

Updating Programs:
------------------

If you have CAW Version 1.x;
----------------------------
     The Creation Kit and CAW II will not work with CAW Version 1.x
and a number of files will have to be deleted and/or modified.
Upgrading Version 1.x to 2.x will also result in the loss of saved games. 

If you have CAW Version 2.x;
----------------------------
     A number of ship pictures have been changed which means that the
'lst' files will have to be modified. If you do not have the creation
kit this will not have any effect on you.

If you have the Creation Kit;
-----------------------------
     If you have played around with any of the original scenarios and
have added ships and/or planes then this may effect you. You must
either rename the modified scenario or re-do the effected 'lst' files.
No changes are made to the 'aiq' or 'caw' files.

At the end of the installation process CAW I and the Creation Kit will
be upgraded to version 2.05. 

If you install CAW I or the Creation Kit after installing CAW II;
-----------------------------------------------------------------
     Run the CAW II installation proceedure again as it will pick up
the files that need to be replaced/modified.


Troubleshooting:
----------------
 
The CAW program makes extensive use of the capacities of your sound
board. Although we have done extensive testing, and have uncovered
no problems, there are now too many possible sound configurations
for us to test them all. If unexplained problems occur with the
game, try running the game with the sound off. 

CAW can use either Expanded or Extended memory. It is always possible that
particular memory configurations can give trouble. If you experience problems,
try swapping to the other memory system.

You can also run the game without using either form of memory. This will
probably result in slow program execution, unless a disk caching program such
as SMARTDRIVE.SYS is used.
 
A full list of the program switches is found below.


Program Switches:
-----------------

-s     No sound will be played
-e     Play the game in EGA mode
-x     Use Extended memory           
-h     Do not use either Expanded or Extended memory
-t     Use special scenario creation test mode


The Setup Program
--------------

The setup program is automatically called when Carriers at War is
first started. It allows you to set the music drivers for the
program. If you select 'None' then the music drivers will not be
loaded and the program will require less memory to run.


Emergency CAP:
--------------

If a carrier or land base gets an air warning, it will automatically fly
all CAP capable planes on emergency CAP. You can also order Emergency CAP
at any time. Once the airwarning is over, the Emergency CAP planes will
return to base. Be aware that Emergency CAP duties may interfere with escort
or other duties that you had planned for a fighter squadron.


Air Warnings:
-------------

If a carrier is issued an enemy squadron warning any planes that have
arm & fuel orders will return to the dispersed area. However this takes
some time and being caught in this postion is not a happy one.

During the night the computer will deactivate arm & fuel orders as well as
Emergency CAP orders so that the pilots can have a sleep before the next
days activities start.

  
Strategy Games:
---------------

If you like to play strategy games then SSG may have other games to
keep you entertained for many hours, such as the award winning game
'Warlords'. Contact the addresses below for catalogs and information.


Carriers at War Construction Kit:
---------------------------------

Available now. Edit existing CAW scenarios, create new battles, edit
the computer's AI programming, change ship and plane graphics. Includes three
brand new scenarios, Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Tarawa.


Run 5 Magazine:
---------------

Run 5 is SSG's own magazine, published four times per year. Run 5 will 
publish numerous articles which will allow you to get the most out of your CAW
game or Construction Kit, as well as extra scenarios for the CAW series.
