be able to cancel.

TEN is only supported in the windows version of the game.

machine will not have nebulae.

Changes/Additions:

The following items were changed/added after the manual had
already gone to print.

Custom race screen:

and from +40 to +50 at the same cost.

Tactical Combat
---------------
When playing a tactical combat versus a computer controlled
empire, there is a super fast resolution mode.  Pressing
the 'z' key enables super fast mode.
Clicking anywhere turns off super fast mode.
Combat graphics displays are minimal in super fast mode,
greatly speeding play.

Hall Of Fame
------------
To reset the Hall of Fame high score, press Alt-C.

General
-------
After you colonize a planet for the first time, you will be
allowed to enter a new star name. The length of the new name
will be limited by the amount of horizontal space available
on the main galaxy map. Bear in mind that each letter takes
up a different amount of space. (A 'W' is wider and takes up
more space than an 'I', for example). In any case, you will
be limited to 15 characters.

MSD REPORT
Occasionally, MicroProse Customer Services may request an
MSD report from you.  MSD is a diagnostic program that can
help establish the cause of most compatibility problems on
your PC while attempting to run our games. This program is
supplied with all versions of DOS and Windows, however
Windows 95 users will first need to copy the program from
the Windows CD to the hard drive with the following command:

copy d:\other\msd\msd.exe  c:\windows\command

To generate your MSD report, first exit Windows 3.x or Win95
and place a spare formatted floppy disk in drive A: and type:

msd  /f  a:report.txt

You can then print this report or send the disc to MicroProse
(should this be required).

CONTACTING US:
Call our Customer Service Department Monday to Friday between
9:00am and 5:30pm.
Have a pen and paper handy when you call. Alternately, you can
write to Customer Services at the address shown in this document.

Due to the many different hardware/software configurations
available for modern PCs, you may still have to talk to your
computer dealer, or hardware supplier, in order to get our
game to run with their product.

SOFTWARE FAULT:
In the unlikely event of a software fault please return the
complete package, with your receipt, to the place of purchase.
