------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note: This software will ONLY run with Windows 95, and you
must be running in indexed colour mode.
To select indexed colour mode, first right-click on your Windows95
desktop, and choose Properties. Then click on the SETTINGS tab, pull
down the COLOR PALETTE option box, and select '256 COLOR.'
At this point, your computer will need to Restart Windows.
Once you have restarted Windows, re-run the PCGAMER menu, and
start Ice and Fire.
------------------------------------------------------------------
To start Ice & Fire from the CD drive, just run the IF_W.EXE file
from the IF folder on the CD.
If you only have 8 MB of RAM, be sure to have Windows Smartdrive
installed and don't forget to make sure the Windows swap file
is big enough- at least 12 MB.
Make sure that smartdrive.exe has also been started in your
autoexec.bat file.
To run Ice & Fire with special options, click Start button in the
left bottom corner of your desktop, and select Run from the menu.
Type the command X:\IF\IF_W.exe with any of the following special
arguments (X is for your CD ROM drive letter)
IF_W.EXE /NO_SOUND - without sounds
IF_W.EXE /NO_INTRO - without intro
IF_W.EXE /NO_MUSIC - without music
Push Z to play the intro in full screen mode.
