 The following instructions show you how to manually install the
 game. Alternatively run INSTALL from the floppy disk.

 In preparing the following I have made several assumptions.
 1. The DOS directory is in the most common place (C:\DOS).
 2. You have a little knowledge of DOS directories and files.
 3. You know to press ENTER after every command

 Hopefully the setup procedure should be quite painless. If you are
 familiar with loading and setting up games you will know what to
 do after reading the System Requirements page.

 Please note this is only the first level of the full game.


 System Requirements : MS.DOS 5 or above.
                       Will work on a 386 but is best
                       on a 486
                       Color VGA graphics.
                       515k Conventional memory.
                       Over 2 MB of hard drive space.
                       SoundBlaster compatible card (optional).
                       Must be run from the hard drive.
                       Will not run under Windows.

  You can choose to set up sound from the game menu. If your card
  is not recognised it will be ignored. The game  will still play
  as normal. The full game will need over 3MB of hard drive space.

  CLAW must be run from the hard drive.
  To Manually Install. ------  It would be a good idea
  to create a separate directory, we'll call it CLAWDEMO
  for this explanation.
  Assuming you will put it on drive C: type :-

               MKDIR C:\CLAWDEMO

  Now enter the directory by typing :-
               C:
               CD C:\CLAWDEMO

  Assuming the floppy disk is in drive A:  To copy the files
  over to the hard drive type :-

                A:GO


 To start the game type :-

                 CLAW2

 You can follow the instructions from the first screen as to
 if you want to see the intro screens or go straight to the
 game menu.
 To use the game menu use the directional arrows and the
 enter keys.


 The HELP option from the  game menu tells you how
 to play the game.

    Memory Problems : The game needs 515K of conventional memory
    to run. If you are having problems running please try
    the following possible fix.

 1. If you are confident enough to change your CONFIG.SYS file put
    the following lines at the top (if not there already):-

               DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
               DOS=HIGH,UMB

     Again this is assuming that the DOS directory
     is on drive C: i.e. C:\DOS
     If you want to use your sound card it should
     be loaded as normal.
