 MANUAL ERRATA:
 -------------

 o The section describing House Auctions is incorrect. Monopoly Deluxe
   for Windows does not support house auctions. When a house has been
   purchased, it is immediately given to the player who purchased it.
 
 o The Monopoly Deluxe Computer Game for Windows requires the use of
   a Microsoft or 100% compatible mouse with driver. If your mouse 
   works with Windows, it should work properly with Monopoly Deluxe 
   as well. There are some keyboard Quick-Keys to speed up the game,
   but you MUST have a mouse to use all of the functions available 
   to you.

 o If you are running Windows in 1024x768 with large fonts selected, 
   you may encounter some graphic glitches while trying to play 
   Monopoly Deluxe. To correct the problem, choose SMALL fonts in 
   the control panel for your video card driver.

 
 INSTALLATION:
 ------------

 To install Monopoly Deluxe, you may choose the RUN option under the 
 FILE menu in Windows. Alternatively, you may also type SETUP from
 your drive A or B.

 QUICK START:
 -----------

 To begin a new game, choose "New Game" from the game menu with the mouse.

 Click on the player name information and type in the name of each player,
 assigning a token. Click on the "add" button to add each player to the
 roster of players.

 The Monopoly Deluxe Computer Game requires a minimum of 2 players although
 one of these players may be a computer player, allowing for a one human - 
 one computer player game. The game allows a maximum of 8 players even
 though there are 10 tokens to choose from.

 MISC:
 ----

 There are extensive credits available from the About Monopoly Deluxe menu
 option. After the legal notice, the credits may be skipped at any time
 by pressing the escape key, <ESC>.


 TROUBLESHOOTING:
 ---------------

 Before attempting to install the software, please make sure that your
 computer system meets the system requirements as defined on the box
 cover. Your system must have a hard drive, VGA graphics card and monitor,
 a machine with a 286-type microprocessor or better, Microsoft Windows
 version 3.1, a Microsoft or 100% compatible mouse with driver, and
 at least 2 megs of computer system RAM. Ideally, you will want to have
 at least 4 megs of computer system RAM if you wish to use the digitized
 sound effects. 
 
 The digitized sound effects are supported by SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster
 Pro, & the Adlib Gold sound cards.
 
 If you experience mouse problems:
 
 o If the program loads without a mouse pointer, please check that a
   Microsoft (tm) compatible mouse driver version 6.24 or greater is
   loaded and running. 
 
 o If the a mouse pointer is visible on-screen but does not move under
   the control of the mouse, there may be a software conflict between
   the mouse driver and a sound driver.  In this case, try running the
   program without the use of sound or music. If the program then works
   you may need to try using different sound drivers or reconfiguring
   your sound hardware.
