I] OMITTED FEATURES
=======================================================================

  The Betrayal in Antara demo is intended as a way of giving you a 
  little sample of the world of Ramar. Some notes about this demo:

  1. Functional Carriage Houses are omitted: This is the only 
  vehicular means by which people can travel in the game. There 
  is a carriage house in Aspresa, however, it is not functional in 
  the demo.

  2. The "Review Story" Option is not available: In the full game 
  there are graphic novel sequences that segue between chapters 
  and advance the game's story. These can normally be reviewed from 
  the "Review Story" option, but are not available in the demo.

  3. Bead Chests are not available: In the full game, these 
  intriguing puzzle chests are found scattered throughout Ramar.

  4. Limited area to explore: In the full game the world is about 
  15-20 times the size of the demo world.

  5. The dialog and some music has been removed to make the download 
  file smaller. If you wish to hear the dialog in the game, obtain the 
  file antsound.zip at www.sierra.com\entertainment\antara. Unzip this
