A Note From the Publisher
-------------------------
As designer of the Might and Magic series, I would
like to personally thank you for your interest and
purchase of this trilogy.
For your enjoyment, we have included a never before
released scenario based around the Xeen games as an
added bonus. Swords of Xeen was designed by a group
of gaming enthusiasts, CATware, who have produced a
wonderful compliment to the Xeen series.
The Might and Magic saga will officially continue
using state of the art technologies at the end of
1996.
Again, thank you for your continued support.

Troubleshooting (install)
-------------------------
If the install program says you don't have enough free space to Install
the Might & Magic series or Swords:

   1. If you are running DoubleSpace, DriveSpace, Stacker or any kind
      of disk compression:
	 a. DOS reports what the disk compressor tells it to report and
	    not the TRUE value of Disk Space available.
	 b. You must free up space to install properly. Failure to
            ensure that enough REAL space is available will result in
            Sword of Xeen not functioning properly.

   2. If you are running from Windows or Windows 95:
	 a. Windows tends to save the files even after they have been 
	    deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin.
	 b. Norton Utilities also will report more Disk Space then is 
	    available due to the Recycle Bin and protecting deleted
            files.
	 c. Even though DOS reports you have enough free Disk Space you
	    can only use whatever space if really available.

      Fix:
         If you are running Windows 95 and Norton Utilities for Win 95,
         select the Recycle Bin by clicking with the Right Mouse
         Button, then selecting Empty Norton Protected Files.  If you
         are using another version of a Utilitiy that saves deleted
	 files then you must discard those files as well.

   3.  The default irq setting for Clouds, Darkside, World and Swords
       is 7, if you are experiencing problems set the irq to 5.
