SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

If you are in Windows, close Windows completely and exit to a DOS 
prompt.  Insert Disk 1 and switch to the floppy disk prompt by typing A: 
or B:. If you are playing the CD version, insert the CD and switch to the 
CD drive by typing the drive letter followed by a colon (ie. D:).  Then type 
INSTALL to begin the installation program.  Follow the on-screen 
prompts to complete the installation.  

Default directory for Aces of the Deep 3.5 disk version:
	C:\DYNAMIX\AOD
Default directory and name of saved games:  	
	C:\DYNAMIX\AOD\SIM\SAVE
        GAME00.SAV to GAME19.SAV

Default directory for Aces of the Deep CD-ROM version:
	C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD
Default directory and name of saved games   	
	C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD\SIM\SAVE
        GAME00.SAV to GAME19.SAV

NOTE: there are 20 save game slots.  You have access to the first 19; the 
20th is used by the program for the Autosave feature which automatically 
saves every 20 minutes during a career mission.


SECTION 3 - COMMON INSTALLATION PROBLEMS

PROBLEM:  After typing INSTALL, a row of dots goes across the screen 
and stops.  The computer is locked up with this row of dots appearing on 
the screen.
SOLUTION:  The dots indicate the hardware detection portion of the 
installation program.  You can bypass the hardware detection (and 
therefore the lockup) by typing INSTALL /M.  If this entry doesnt work, 
try INSTALL /F.  One of these entries should get you past the lockup.  If 
this does not work, create a boot disk using the boot disk instructions 
included with this document.  After booting up with the boot disk, install 
the game. 



PROBLEM: During installation of the 3.5" Disk version you receive the 
error DISK ERROR / READ ERROR or NOT READY READING DRIVE X (Where X is the
drive you are installing from).
SOLUTION: This usually indicates a bad disk.  If you have had the product 
less than 90 days, Sierra will replace your game disks for free.  Send Disk 
#1 with a copy of a dated receipt and a letter requesting disk replacement.  
Be sure to include your  full name, mailing address and a phone number.  
If you have had the product over 90 days you will need to include a check 
or money order for $10.00.  The address is: Sierra On-Line Fulfillment, 
PO Box 485, Coarsegold, CA  93614-0485.

PROBLEM:  (CD VERSION ONLY) Installation program locks up as it is 
copying files to the hard drive. This usually occurs at the file 
MELODIC.BNK, but may happen with other program files. 
SOLUTION:  Some computers have difficulty reading the the Aces of the 
Deep CD.  Sierra will gladly exchange your CD for the 3.5 disk version 
of the game.  This will allow you to install and play Aces of the Deep.  
The game itself is the same in the floppy version; however, this version 
does not include the on-line manual.  The historical information is 
included in the printed manual that comes with the game.

To exchange your CD version for floppy disks, send the CD to: Sierra 
On-Line Customer Service, PO Box 53210, Bellevue, WA  98015-3210. 
Please be sure to include a letter stating that the CD will not run on your 
system and that you would like to exchange it for the floppy version.  
Your letter should also include your full name, mailing address and 
daytime phone number.

If this is unsatisfactory, and you purchased the game within the last 30 
days Sierra will refund the purchase price.  Please consult your game 
manual for information on obtaining a refund.


SECTION 4 - COMMON GAME PROBLEMS

PROBLEM:  (CD VERSION ONLY)  Distorted graphics in the on-line 
manual.
SOLUTION:  This is usually due to an outdated, incompatible or missing 
VESA driver.  Without VESA support the on-line manual will appear in 
low resolution and the pictures of the U-boat captains and the lettering 
will be blocky.  The video interviews will overflow the window and take 
up about one quarter of the screen.  The subtitles will be illegible. 

Contact your video card manufacturer to obtain a current VESA driver.  
Install the new VESA driver and rerun the install from the directory 
C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD.  From the Choices screen change the 
GRAPHICS to VESA - High Resolution (640x480) with 256 Colors.  
This usually corrects the PROBLEM.  

PROBLEM: (CD VERSION ONLY)  When starting Aces of the Deep you 
get the error message CDR101 NOT READY READING DRIVE X:
(where X is the CD drive letter).
SOLUTION: There are several possible causes for this error. The most 
common is a dirty or scratched CD.  You should check the CD to make 
sure that there are no smudges, fingerprints, scratches or cracks on it.  If 
you see any smudges on the CD, clean it off with a soft cloth and try it 
again.
  
The PROBLEM may also lie with the CD ROM drivers. Outdated or 
incompatible drivers can cause this type of PROBLEM.  You should make 
sure that you are loading the latest version (v2.23) of MSCDEX in your 
AUTOEXEC.BAT.  If you're using DOS 6.20 or higher, use the 
MSCDEX in your C:\DOS directory, this one is version 2.23. You should 
also check with the CD ROM drive manufacturer to make sure that you 
are loading the latest version of their CD-ROM drivers in your 
CONFIG.SYS.



There are some systems that have trouble reading the Aces of the Deep 
CD.  Edit the AOD.BAT file in the directory C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD and change
the last line:
			
AODCD.EXE -PC:\DYNAMIX\AODCD\ -DE
			
to
			
AODCD.EXE \DYNAMIX\AODCD\

and remove the line:

CALL INTRO.BAT

The game will play without the CD but you won't have any sound.  You 
can also exchange your CD version for the 3.5 disk version.  Send the 
CD to: Sierra On-Line Customer Service, PO Box 53210, Bellevue, WA  
98015-3210. Please be sure to include a letter stating that the CD will not 
run on your system and that you would like to exchange it for the floppy 
version.  Your letter should also include your full name, mailing address 
and daytime phone number.

If this is unsatisfactory and you purchased the game within the last 30 
days Sierra will refund the purchase price.  Please consult your game 
manual for information on obtaining a refund.

PROBLEM:  Random lockups.
SOLUTION:  Lockups can be caused by a number of factors.  If you are 
getting lockups during the game, try the following:

MAKE A BOOT DISK.  You can use the automatic boot disk creator by 
running INSTALL in the game directory or you can make one manually 
using the boot disk instructions included with this document.  The boot 
disk will eliminate any possible memory conflicts that could be causing 
lockups.  Be very careful that your sound card and CD ROM drivers are 
loaded onto the boot disk!

CHECK THE SOUND CARD CONFIGURATION.  Run the 
SOUNDSET program in the game directory and choose "No Digital 
Sound Driver".  Run the game.  If the game does not lock up, then the 
PROBLEM is probably in the sound card configuration.  Re-run 
SOUNDSET and manually choose your sound card and its settings.  
Occasionally, the auto-detect feature of SOUNDSET will detect your 
sound card incorrectly and this can cause the game to lock up.  If you 
dont see your sound card listed under the Digital Sound Driver section of 
the SOUNDSET program, refer to your sound card documentation or 
contact the manufacture of your sound card for help in setting up your 
card to run in a Sound Blaster compatible mode.  

CHECK FOR CORRUPTED FILES.  At the DOS prompt, run 
CHKDSK /F for DOS versions up to 6.0 or SCANDISK for DOS version 
6.20.  This will allow to you to detect and correct any lost allocation units, 
crosslinked files or any other hard drive errors.  If you find any, fix them, 
then delete and reinstall the game.  Errors on the hard drive can corrupt 
files and this can cause lockups. 

USE THE PATCH DISK.  If you are running the 3.5" disk version 1.0 
there is a patch disk available that addresses random lockups.  This patch 
is for the 3.5 disk version ONLY - it will not work for the CD version.  
Please see SECTION 7 - Obtaining a Sierra Patch Disk.  

PROBLEM:  Lockups trying to access on-line manual when using an ATI 
Video Card.
SOLUTION:  Contact ATI to received the most current VVESA driver for 
your video card.  You can reach ATIs Customer Support at (905)882-
2626 or their BBS at (905)764-9404.



PROBLEM: While running Aces of the Deep, you get an error "Interrupt 
0DH, General Protection Fault, Possible Illegal Address:C800...". The 
memory address will vary on different computers.
SOLUTION: The above error message is usually caused by a conflict 
between the game and a Cyrix processor.  Sierra has researched the 
situation with Cyrix and has determined that there are two situations in 
which you will have this conflict with a Cyrix processor.

1) Older 486 DLC chips.  If you have a 486 DLC chip, you should get the 
lot number and contact Cyrix.  They will do their best to help you 
eliminate the conflict.

2) 486 DLC chips on 386 motherboards.  Cyrix does not recommend 
installing the 486 DLC chip onto a 386 motherboard because it can cause 
incompatibility PROBLEMs like the General Protection Fault in Aces of the 
Deep.  The only way to eliminate the conflict in this instance is to install 
the 486 DLC chip onto a 486 motherboard.

If you have an Intel processor in your computer, the General Protection 
Fault may be eliminated by creating a boot disk and running the game 
under the boot disk environment. To make a boot disk, change to the game 
directory on your hard drive and run the install program.  Choose "Make a 
bootable floppy disk" from the main menu, and follow the on-screen 
instructions.  Once you have made the boot disk, leave it in your A: drive 
and press [CTRL]-[ALT]-[DEL].  The boot disk will automatically start 
the game for you after the computer is booted up. Play the game as you 
normally would from your hard drive.

PROBLEM:  Any of the following  using the 3.5 disk version of Aces of the 
the Deep.
	1) Random lockups or locking during sound or music segments 
while in a mission
	2) When running on surface you hear the electric motor instead of 
the diesel motor sound
	3) Teleporting to another area after running aground
	4) Bobbing to the surface uncontrollably
	5) Time compression can't be increased even though there are no 
contacts
    	6) Not being informed when out of compressed air
SOLUTION:  You need the AOD11 patch.  Please see Section 7 - Obtaining 
a Sierra Patch Disk.

PROBLEM:  No DEMO or INN directories on the CD as mentioned in the 
Aces of the Deep manual
SOLUTION:  This does not in any way effect the way that Aces of the Deep 
plays.  If you would like the Aces of the Deep CD that has these 
directories included on it and have had this product less than 90 days you 
can send in your Aces of the Deep CD along with your dated receipt and a 
letter with your name, address and a daytime phone number  requesting 
disk replacement to:  Sierra On-Line Fulfillment, PO Box 485, 
Coarsegold, CA  93614.

If you are over the 90 day free replacement period or do not have the 
receipt, please include a check or money order for $10.00 for each game 
that requires a replacement.



SECTION 5 - SOUND ISSUES

Aces of the Deep supports a variety of different sound cards.  The games 
sound and music configuration is set up through a program called 
SOUNDSET.  This program is in the directory C:\DYNAMIX\AOD for 
the 3.5" disk version and C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD for the CD-ROM 
version.  The SOUNDSET program is run automatically when you first 
install the game, but you can run it again at any time to change the sound 
card configuration.  If you are having any kind of sound PROBLEMs during 
the game, Sierra recommends that you run the SOUNDSET program and 
choose your sound card and settings manually instead of letting the 
program auto-detect them.  The auto-detect program occasionally detects 
the sound card incorrectly and this can cause PROBLEMs within the game.  
If you dont see your sound card listed under the Digital Sound Driver 
section of the SOUNDSET program then refer to your sound card's 
documentation or contact the manufacturer of your sound card for help in 
setting your card to run in a Sound Blaster compatible mode.  
 


PROBLEM:  No sound through the PC speaker.
SOLUTION:  The music and sound effects in Aces of the Deep are too 
complicated for the PC speaker to produce.  Therefore, there will be no 
sound through the PC speaker if you do not have a sound card.  The game 
should run fine without a sound card, you just won't have any music or 
sound effects.

PROBLEM:  Lockups or no sound while using a MAD16 sound card with 
SoundBlaster emulation.
SOLUTION:  Add a SET MAD16=C:\MAD16 line to the 
AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the boot disk.  Run M16INIT from the 
C:\MAD16 directory and select Windows Sound System Emulation at the 
default settings (i.e. DMA 1, IRQ 7, PORT 530).  Reboot the computer 
using the boot disk.  Run SOUNDSET in the C:\DYNAMIX\AOD for the 
3.5" disk version or C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD for the CD-ROM version 
directory and choose Microsoft Sound System for the sound driver (DMA 
1, PORT 530, IRQ will be blank).  Save the settings and start the game.

PROBLEM:  Lockups or no sound while using other sound cards that use 
some form of  INIT.EXE file , (eg. SNDINIT.EXE, ISPINIT.EXE, etc...) 
to set your sound emulation mode.  You should check your sound card 
documentation to see if your sound card uses one of these initialization 
files.  These sound initialization files are in the directory where your 
sound card files are located.
SOLUTION:  Look in your AUTOEXEC.BAT on your C drive look for the 
lines that belong to your sound card.  Example:

SET  (SOUND, M16, IPS16, etc...)=C:\(path to your sound card files 
directory)
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
C:\(path to your sound card files directory)\(some type of XXinit.exe file 
name)  

Add these lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the boot disk.  Run  the 
(XX)INIT file from the directory where your sound card files are 
located and select Windows Sound System Mode at the default settings 
(i.e. DMA 1, IRQ 7, PORT 530).  Reboot the computer using the boot 
disk.  Run SOUNDSET in the directory C:\DYNAMIX\AOD for the 3.5" 
disk version or C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD for the CD-ROM version and 
choose Microsoft Sound System for the sound driver (DMA 1, PORT 
530, IRQ will be blank).  Save the settings and start the game.

PROBLEM:  No sound in the game after booting up with a boot disk.  This 
often occurs with the Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16, but occasionally 
happens with other sound cards. 
SOLUTION:  This happens when sound drivers or configuration lines get left 
off the boot disk.  The following lines are examples of the necessary lines 
for the Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 card using the latest drivers. 
NOTE: These examples use standard SoundBlaster 16 settings, you 
should check your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS on your hard 
drive to verify your sound card settings.

AUTOEXEC.BAT

SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H1 P300 T6 
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S
C:\SB16\SB16SET (followed by your mixer settings--copy them from 
your C: drives AUTOEXEC.BAT)

CONFIG.SYS

DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CSP.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS

Adding these lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files on 
the boot disk should give you sound.  If you have a sound card other than 
the Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16, check the sound card listings in  
Section 10 for information on what lines need to be in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files on the boot disk.


SECTION 6 - GAME PLAY TIPS

PROBLEM:   How do you quickly line up the sub on an acquired target ? 
Tip:   While in either the Binocular or Periscope view mode, center the 
lighted cross hairs in the center of your view and hit ALT-H

PROBLEM: While running on the surface you are continually being detected 
by over-flying aircraft.
Tip:  Avoid running at flank speed for long periods of time.  Flank speed 
produces a longer wake behind the sub which can be easily detected at 
greater distances

PROBLEM: When engaging war ships my torpedoes continually miss their 
targets.
Tip: Remember warships are much faster than merchant vessels and can 
easily out run your torpedoes.  To increase your chances of sinking these 
ships, position your sub as close as possible to your target and fire slightly 
ahead of the vessel.  As time goes by your targeting skills will increase,  
sending many tons of scrap metal to the icy depths.

PROBLEM: You're playing a single mission during the last year of the war, 
and the manual states that a snorkel was usable during this period but that 
selection is grayed out.
Tip:  You need to be in a career mission during the end of the war, 1944 - 
1945.  This option should be available by clicking on the CHIEF 
ENGINEER button from the VOICE TUBE icon. Remember, while using 
the snorkel you can replenish your sub's batteries and compressed air 
when submerged, however, the snorkel also increases your chances of 
detection by radar or human eye.  Also be aware that the snorkel will not 
function correctly at speeds over seven knots.

PROBLEM:  You're having trouble finding convoys.
Tip:  The westward reaches of the NW tip of Britain in the zones around 
AM23 & AM16 are very heavily trafficked, as well as the zones due west 
of Bergen, Norway around AN23 & AN28.  Try to keep close to the 
continental shelf, this will allow access to deep water in case escape is 
your only option.  Be very careful hunting through the English Channel, 
it's very shallow and doesn't leave much room to maneuver.

PROBLEM:  I keep getting torpedoed by other friendly subs during 
wolfpack missions.
Tip:  With several subs after the same targets things can get confusing, 
and WWII torpedoes were not very accurate.  Keep a close eye on your 
tactical chart to avoid putting your sub in the path of another sub's 
torpedoes.  Remember also that torpedoes can only hit you if you are at 
periscope depth or on the surface.  If you see a red line tracking across the 
tactical chart in your direction dive immediately below 50 meters and you 
should avoid becoming a casualty of war.



The following symbol meanings for the tactical & strategic charts may 
help you:



TACTICAL CHART SYMBOL DEFINITIONS


Black cross=Your submarine

Red cross=How far you can see

Black Squares=Enemy ships

White lines=Enemy course

Gray Lines=Last known enemy course

Cone-shaped "ping"=Enemy ASDIC seeking your sub


STRATEGIC CHART SYMBOL DEFINITIONS

Red square=Your U-boat

Yellow square=Other U-boats

Black squares=Enemy ships whose positions are reliably established

Gray squares=Enemy ships whose positions are less reliable due to age of
last sighting and other factors (seen only at higher combat levels)

Black lines=Courses of enemy ships whose positions are reliably established

Gray lines=Courses of enemy ships whose positions are less reliable (seen
only at higher combat levels)

White lines=Courses of convoys and escorts (seen only at easy combat levels)

Blue squares=Enemy airbases

Blue circles=The potential range of air patrols at enemy airbase

Green squares=Friendly bases

Green circles=The scope within which you can radio for an escort to base


PROBLEM:  What's the secret behind racking up promotions and earning 
medals ?	
Tip:  Lots of sunken ships, including warships that chock up the points 
very quickly.  The amount of points you receive for a kill is determined by 
1) what type of ship you sink and 2) how your realism panel is set; more 
realism equals more points. How you acquire targets is also a key to 
earning the more points.  When you have more than two torpedoes ready 
to fire, target the largest ships.  If you have two torpedoes or less go after 
the smaller ships, this will afford you more kills in the least amount of 
time.  Identify as many ships as possible before choosing your targets, the 
best targets are usually those ships inside the convoy that are being 
protected by those around the outside.

When it comes to submarine warfare the element of surprise is your most 
valuable weapon.   Always be aware of what is above; remember you are 
almost completely blind when submerged.  You should also keep an eye 
out below you as the bottom of the ocean can be very unforgiving.  Sharp 
wit, quick thinking, and a whole lot of luck were the secrets to bringing a 
U-boat and her crew home safely.  Remember, as soon as you fire a 
torpedo the enemy will know where you are, so strike quickly and then 
hide.  This is best accomplished by diving below 200 meters and reducing 
your speed to one third.  

The manual contains a wealth of information on both strategy and history; 
for the first few missions we suggest following the Tutorial starting on 
page 124 of the Aces of the Deep manual that comes with the 3.5" disk 
version and page 20 of the Aces of the Deep manual that comes with the 
CD-ROM version. Good Hunting !


SECTION 7 - OBTAINING A SIERRA PATCH DISK
There is currently one patch available for Aces of the Deep.  This patch 
(AOD11) is for the 3.5 floppy version ONLY and addresses the 
following issues:

-Random lockups or locking during sound or music segments while in 
a mission 
-Running on the surface on electric motors 
-Teleporting after running aground
-Bobbing to the surface uncontrollably
-Time compression  can be used even if the sim reduces time 
compression first.
-You will now be informed when out of compressed air (and you better 
not be stuck on the bottom!)

When you get the patch, take a look at the README file for complete 
details on how to install the patch.

The fastest way to obtain a Sierra patch disk is to download it from one of 
the following on-line services:  the Sierra BBS (206-644-0112), 
CompuServe (GO SIERRA) or America OnLine (KEYWORD SIERRA).   
The file name is AOD11.  You can also request a patch disk be 
mailed to you by writing to Sierra On-Line Patch Disks, Dept. 10, PO 
Box 485, Coarsegold, CA  93614-0485 or faxing Technical Support at 
(206)644-7697.



Aces of the Deep Floppy Disk
Manual Installation Instructions
for IBM PCs and compatibles using MS-DOS 5.0 and 
above

If you are experiencing PROBLEMs with the Aces Of the Deep INSTALL 
program the following instructions will allow you to manually copy the 
game to your hard disk drive.

NOTE:  The following instructions should be used only as a last resort 
and are for the floppy disk version of AOD only.  Try using an Aces Of 
the Deep Boot Disk first.  Start the INSTALL utility from the 
\DYNAMIX\AOD directory on your hard drive and choose the "Make 
bootable floppy disk" option. After creating the Boot Disk, reboot your 
computer and run the AOD install program.  If the install program 
continues to fail then use these directions to manually copy the program to 
your computer's hard disk drive.

1)  Check your hard disk drive to confirm that you have at least 10 Megs 
of disk space available.  Run the CHKDSK utility to verify "bytes 
available on disk".  If CHKDSK reports any errors found on the hard 
drive, you will need to correct these errors before installing the program.  
Please consult your MS-DOS manual for information on how to correct 
these errors.

2)  Create the game directories using the following steps:

A) Type:        CD\ <ENTER>
B) Type:        MD DYNAMIX <ENTER>
C) Type:        CD DYNAMIX <ENTER>
D) Type:        MD AOD <ENTER>
E) Type:        CD AOD <ENTER>
F) Type:        MD SAVE <ENTER>
G) Type:        MD SOUND <ENTER>
H) Type:        MD SIM <ENTER>
 I) Type:        CD SIM <ENTER>
 J) Type:        MD SAVE <ENTER>
K) Type:        CD.. <ENTER>
L) Type:        MD SHELL <ENTER>
M) Type:       CD SHELL <ENTER>
N) Type:        MD SW <ENTER>
O) Type:        MD SCORES <ENTER>
P) Type:         MD PROTYPER <ENTER>

Copy all the files from each disk into the \DYNAMIX\AOD subdirectory 
by typing: COPY A:*.*
C:\DYNAMIX\AOD <ENTER>.   AT WHAT PROMPT?

NOTE: The above statements assume you are installing the game from 
game disks on your A drive and to your C hard drive.  If you are installing 
from or on a different drive, then substitute the appropriate drive letters in 
all the above copy statements that require drive letters.

3)  Go to the \DYNAMIX\AOD directory on your hard drive.

4)  Type: UNCHUNK RESOURCE.000 . <ENTER> 

NOTE:  Please remember to include the " ." after the 000 in step 4.

5)  There will be a long pause while this process is working.  If this 
process is successful, unchunk will notify you.  Use UNCHUNK again on 
RESOURCE.001, RESOURCE.002, RESOURCE.003 and 
RESOURCE.004 by substituting the appropriate resource number 
extension in the unchunk statement in step 4.

NOTE:  Be sure to UNCHUNK these resource files in order.  If you make 
a mistake, or if the unchunked files are in the wrong order, you will need 
to erase all of the files from the \DYNAMIX\AOD subdirectory and 
follow steps 2 through 5 again.

6)  After all resource files have been "unchunked", run the INSTALL 
program from the \DYNAMIX\AOD subdirectory by typing  install at the 
AOD prompt.  Check to confirm that the sound and music settings are 
correct.  Choose "Accept these choices" from the options in the program.  
Follow all the other prompts as they appear.

7)  Exit out of the INSTALL program and try running the AOD program.  
If the game works, delete all resource files RESOURCE.000-002.

SECTION 9 - BOOT DISK INSTRUCTIONS


IMPORTANT NOTE: Please read the entire instructions prior to 
starting at Step 1.  You can skip Steps 3 and 4 if you are not playing the 
CD version of Aces of the Deep.

STEP 1
FORMATTING THE DISK
To make a boot disk, format a high density diskette in the A: drive.  (It is 
necessary to reformat the disk if it is already formatted.) Formatting the 
disk with the /S switch will transfer the system files to the disk and 
allow the computer to boot up correctly.  The disk must be in the A: drive; 
the computer will not boot from the B: drive.  Type the FORMAT 
command as follows:

FORMAT A: /S <ENTER>

If you get a "Bad command or file name" error message, type: 

PATH=C:\DOS <ENTER>

Then retype the FORMAT command above.  If you receive the error 
again, the MS-DOS FORMAT command may not be on your system, or 
it may have been renamed.  Programs such as PC Tools and Norton Disk 
Utilities sometimes rename the FORMAT command to prevent accidental 
loss of data.  If you are using a program of this type, check your 
documentation to find out how to format a SYSTEM DISK, then proceed 
to Step 2. 


STEP 2
LOCATING THE MOUSE DRIVER
Sierra games require that a Microsoft compatible mouse driver be loaded 
into memory before playing the game.  There are two kinds of mouse 
drivers available: those that load in the CONFIG.SYS file and those that 
load in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  CONFIG.SYS mouse drivers have an 
extension of .SYS (MOUSE.SYS) and AUTOEXEC.BAT drivers have 
either a .COM or .EXE extension (MOUSE.COM, MOUSE.EXE).  You 
must load at least one of these drivers, but it is not necessary to load them 
all. 

If you do not know where the mouse drivers are located on your system, 
the command below should help you locate them.  Type the following at 
the C:\ prompt:

DIR MOUSE* /S <ENTER>


This command will cause the system to search all subdirectories for a file 
called MOUSE.  If the system locates a MOUSE file, it will display the 
path where the file is located.  For example, if the MOUSE.COM file is 
located in a C:\MOUSE directory, the system will display:

Directory of C:\MOUSE
	MOUSE.SYS		55160 	03-10-92	3:10a
	MOUSE.COM		56408	03-10-03	6:00a

If this procedure does not locate a MOUSE file, your mouse driver may 
have a different name; some common names for mouse drivers are 
IMOUSE, GMOUSE and HPMOUSE.  Your should check your mouse 
documentation for the exact file names and how to install them. 

Once you have located the mouse driver, you must copy it to the boot 
disk.  The following example assumes that the mouse drivers are located 
in the C:\MOUSE directory as shown above.  To copy the MOUSE files 
to the boot disk, type:

COPY C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.* A: <ENTER>

Substitute the appropriate path and file names for your mouse drivers in 
the command above.  After you press ENTER, you should see a message 
indicating that some files were copied.


STEP 3
LOCATING THE CD ROM DEVICE DRIVER (skip if not playing the CD version of AOD)
The CD ROM drive requires a device driver loaded in the CONFIG.SYS 
file.  This driver must be loaded correctly or you will be unable to access 
your CD ROM drive. To make sure that the device driver loads correctly 
on the boot disk, look at the CONFIG.SYS on the hard drive and copy the
driver line from there. At the C:\ prompt, type:

TYPE CONFIG.SYS|MORE

NOTE:     The | is called a "pipe" command and is created by pressing 
<SHIFT> <BACKSLASH>.

The CONFIG.SYS file will display on the screen.  Look for the line that 
loads the CD ROM device driver.  This line will contain the same /D: 
switch as the MSCDEX line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Using the 
MSCDEX example above, you would be looking for a line containing 
/D:MSCD001.  The line should look something like this:

DEVICE=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
DEVICEHIGH /L:14652 =C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220

The device driver in your CONFIG.SYS may differ slightly from those 
listed above.  Carefully write down the line for use in your boot disk.  
Leave out the "HIGH" in "DEVICEHIGH" and the "/L:" information, if 
any.  Your CD ROM device line should appear as follows:

DEVICE=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220

NOTE:  If you have a SCSI CD ROM drive, there may be an additional 
driver in your CONFIG.SYS that must be loaded for the CD ROM device 
drivers to load correctly.  Check your CD ROM drive documentation for 
more information.


STEP 4
LOCATING THE MSCDEX CD ROM EXTENSION (skip if not playing the CD version)
In addition to the CD ROM device driver in the CONFIG.SYS, your CD 
ROM drive requires MSCDEX, the Microsoft extension for CD ROM 
drives.  If this extension is not loaded correctly in the AUTOEXEC.BAT, 
you will be unable to access your CD ROM drive.  To make sure that 
MSCDEX loads correctly on the boot disk, look at the AUTOEXEC.BAT 
on the hard drive and copy the MSCDEX line from there.  At the C:\ 
prompt, type:

TYPE AUTOEXEC.BAT|MORE <ENTER>

The AUTOEXEC.BAT file will display on the screen.  Look for the line 
that loads the MSCDEX extension.  It should look something like this:

C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 
LOADHIGH /L:14429 C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001

The MSCDEX line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT may differ slightly from 
the ones above.  Carefully write down the entire line following the drive 
letter.  Include the full drive and path to the MSCDEX file and leave out 
any LH or LOADHIGH commands.  For example, any of the above lines 
should appear as follows:

C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001

This is how the line will appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT on your boot 
disk. 


STEP 5
LOCATING THE SOUND CARD DRIVERS
Many sound cards have drivers or initialization lines that must be loaded 
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS.   Some sound cards that 
require these drivers or initialization routines are:  SoundBlaster 16, 
MAD16 and the Aria 16.

Section 10 contains lists of the sound card lines for many 
common sound cards.  Check to see if your sound card is on the list.  If it 
is, then you will need to add the appropriate lines to the 
AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS on your boot disk.  If your 
sound card is not on the list, you should check your documentation for 
information on what needs to be loading in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and 
CONFIG.SYS. 


STEP 6
CREATING THE CONFIG.SYS FILE
To create the CONFIG.SYS file on the boot disk, switch to the A: drive 
and type the following:

COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <ENTER>  (the cursor will drop down one line and blink)
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS <ENTER>
DOS=HIGH,UMB <ENTER>
FILES=30 <ENTER>
BUFFERS=20 <ENTER>

If you are using the MOUSE.SYS file to load your mouse, add the 
following line to the CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=A:\MOUSE.SYS <ENTER>


If you're playing the CD version of AOD, add the CD ROM device driver 
as you wrote it down in the Locating the CD ROM Device Driver 
section.  For example:

DEVICE=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220  <ENTER>

If you need to load any sound card drivers, copy them from the "Sound 
Cards" section now.  The following example lines are for the 
SoundBlaster 16:

DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 
I:5 D:1 H:5 <ENTER>
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTMM.SYS <ENTER>

Complete the file by pressing <F6> <ENTER>.


STEP 7
CREATING THE AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE
To create the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the boot disk, switch to the A: 
drive and type the following:

COPY CON AUTOEXEC.BAT <ENTER>  (the cursor will drop down one line and blink)
@ECHO OFF <ENTER>
C:\ <ENTER>
SET COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM <ENTER>
PROMPT SIERRA BOOT DISK $_$P$G <ENTER>
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\SIERRA <ENTER>

If you are using the MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE file to load your 
mouse driver, add the appropriate line:

A:\MOUSE.EXE <ENTER>

If you're playing the CD version of AOD, add the MSCDEX line as you 
write it down in the "Locating the MSCDEX CD ROM Extension"
section.  For example:

C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 <ENTER>

If you need to run any sound card initialization programs or load any 
drivers, copy them from the "Sound Cards" section now.  The following 
example lines are for the SoundBlaster 16:

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T6 <ENTER>
SET SOUND=C:\SB16 <ENTER>
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E <ENTER>
C:\SB16\SB16SET /M:220 /VOC:220 /CD:220 /MIDI:220 /LINE:220 <ENTER>
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S <ENTER>

Complete the file by pressing <F6> <ENTER>.


STEP 8
REBOOT THE SYSTEM AND START THE GAME
Reboot your system by pressing the <RESET> button on your computer 
or by using the <CTRL> <ALT> <DEL> key sequence on your 
keyboard.  Follow the instructions in the game manual to start the game.
