1. INTRODUCTION
================
Welcome to Lexicon. This file details information on the game
and how to get in contact with Nature Boy Software. For more
detailed information on playing the game, see the Lexicon
user's manual.
2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
=======================
Lexicon requires the following:
IBM PC and Compatibles

VGA Compatible Display (640x480 resolution with 8-bit (256) color)
8MB RAM minimum, 16MB recommended
Windows 95 (Windows NT not tested)
Installed "Direct X" drivers
Hard Drive with at least 8 MB free
About Direct X drivers:
This game requires Microsoft DirectX 5.0 or later. Direct X is a
set of drivers (programs) for Windows 95 developed by Microsoft
to improve performance and provide greater compatibility for new
computer games and other software. If you do not already have
Direct X 5.0, you can obtain a copy from Microsoft's web site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/directx
3. FILE INFORMATION
====================
LEXICON.EXE is the application you will run to play the game. A
shortcut for it has been created in the program group you specified
during installation.
During gameplay, Lexicon will create a high-scores file named "HIGH
SCORES", as well as a new folder named "SavedGames" which will
contain any games saved during play. These items will not be removed
from your system if you perform an uninstall, so they should be
removed manually.
A shortcut for uninstalling (removing) Lexicon from your hard drive
is also provided in your program group.
A shortcut for the Lexicon User's Manual is provided in your program
group as well. This manual contains all of the information you will
need on how to play Lexicon. This information is also available from
within the game by selecting the HELP button (rock) while in the
main control screen (the pond with the lily-pads).
