OFFENSIVE - READ.ME
===================

 The following is a brief list of items that did not make it into the
manual and may be of some use to you regarding the game:-

VESA VIDEO DRIVERS

 Offensive requires a VESA compatible video card. If the message 
"Vesa Driver Not Found" is displayed you will have to load your card's
individual driver. If you are unable to locate your graphic card's
VESA driver or have problems running it correctly, please consult your
hardware manufacturer or supplier.
DIAMOND VIPER 9000(VLB) VIDEO CARD

 The above card comes supplied with the relevant VESA driver. To
utilise correctly, please run the program VPRMODE with the VESA
parameter (i.e. enter "VPRMODE VESA" in your graphic card directory).

MOUSE CONTROLLER

 Offensive requires a DOS based Microsoft(tm) compatible mouse driver.
If, while running the game, the message "ERROR: Microsoft compatible
mouse driver not found." is displayed, you will have to load your DOS
based mouse driver. If you have a DOS based driver loaded, please
ensure that your mouse is correctly connected to your PC. If problems
persist, check that your driver is loaded correctly (i.e. without
errors) at bootup. If your mouse driver isn't loading than refer to
the instructions that came with your mouse for installation of the
mouse driver software. If you have problems with the movement of the 
mouse pointer (e.g. the pointer can only be moved around the left hand
side of the screen) then please ensure that your mouse driver is fully
Microsoft(tm) compatible. Again if problems occur, please contact your
supplier.

NOTE: If your machine came pre-installed with Windows 95(tm), you may
find that you were not supplied with correct DOS based drivers. If
this is the case, please contact your hardware supplier/manufacturer
regarding obtaining these drivers.
GRAVIS(tm) SOUND CARD PROBLEMS

 Offensive was not intended to fully support the Gravis UltraSound(tm).
However, we have retained the drivers within the sound configuration
programs. If you have a Gravis UltraSound(tm) card, you may select
these sound options for use within the game, however problems may
occur with both the music and the speech/FX. We cannot provide
technical support regarding these problems.

PROBLEMS WHILE RUNNING THE GAME

 If while running the game the message "FAILURE READING DRIVE D" is
displayed, please ensure that the disk is clean (i.e. no finger prints
or dust present on the CD face) and is correctly sat in your drive's
bay. This problem could also result in the message "TWEEN\ENGPSWRD",
again the same steps should be followed.

MEMORY PROBLEMS

 The game requires at least 5184K of free expanded memory on your
machine. If you attempt to run the game below the figure, you will be
asked to free up a quoted amount of memory. If you are unsure of how
to do this correctly, please consult your DOS guide or hardware
supplier.

running of Offensive, a help-line service is provided on (0161)8390999
