*******************************************************
1) GAME PLAY INSTRUCTIONS -

Online instructions are accessible while playing any of our
games. After you enter your name and choose the difficulty level,
hit the F1 key to go to online help. Here you will find the
instructions you need to play the game. Hit any key or click
the mouse to return to the game.

*******************************************************
2) WHAT IS SHAREWARE

The shareware versions of all our games can be downloaded from
our web site at http://www.mgsoft.com. 
Shareware is a concept that has grown in popularity over the last 
few years. Shareware is not freeware and it is not public domain
software. Shareware is copyrighted software that is distributed
for you to "try before you buy". This way you only buy games that
you like - no more buying a game at the store only to find out that
it isn't much fun.  Distribution and packaging costs are kept to
a minimum, so the price of the software is lower.
The shareware version of this game is intended for evaluation
purposes only. It is a functional program with some of the
difficulty levels and/or features disabled. You may use it freely
and without any obligations for 30 days. If you like the game
and continue playing it, you must buy it.
If you have already purchased this game, you have the same rights
that you have when you buy a program or game from your local
computer store.

*******************************************************
3) HOW TO ORDER OUR GAMES -

There are two ways to get the registered versions of our games -

a) When this game is installed, you will find an "order form"
   icon in the Monty's Games for Windows Group. This can be used
   to order the Gamepak on CD-ROM. All our individual games must
   be ordered online at www.mgsoft.com/online.htm. The GamePak
   can also be ordered online as a download or on CD-ROM.

   You can also find a copy of the order form at our web site at
   www.mgsoft.com/order.htm - just click on the 'Order Form' link.
   There is also a file "Order.txt" in the game directory. This file
   can be printed using Notepad or Dos Edit.

b) All of our games can be ordered online. Go to our Web Site at
   http://www.mgsoft.com/online.htm and order the games(s) online with 
   your credit card thru a secure site. You will be given a 
   download link that you can use to download the full version of
   the game(s).

5) NOTES FOR USING THE FULL SCREEN IN WIN 95/98 -

Monty's Games like to run in a full screen.  If the TaskBar
is in your way when you play any of Monty's Games, do this -
   a) While in the Windows 95 desktop, click the Start button
      at the bottom left corner of the screen.
   b) Go to Settings and click Taskbar.
   c) Put a check mark in [x] Auto Hide".
   d) UNcheck [] Always on Top - this is optional - try it
      both ways.
   e) The other two options don't matter.

NOTE: The taskbar is only a problem for 640x480 screen resolution.
      Most modern systems run at 800x600 or highter !

********************************************************
6) CREATING A SHORTCUT TO THE GAMES

Windows 95/98 users may want to create a shortcut to Monty's Games.
(If you already have one don't do it again.)

      right click means clicking with the right mouse button.

There are many ways to make a shortcut. This works -

a) Click Start and move the mouse up to programs.
b) Right click on the "Montys Games for Windows" group
c) Select "Create Shortcut"
