1) Please print out and read the manual (The files PART1.DOC,
PART2.DOC, PART3.DOC and APPENDIX.DOC on the disk). The easiest
way to do so is to simply type "COPY *.DOC PRN" at the DOS prompt.

2) To play the sample adventure game, you must have booted DOS with a
disk with a CONFIG.SYS file which re-defines the number of files
and buffers (it should contain the lines "FILES=16" and "BUFFERS=32").
If you have done this, just type "ADVENT UNDERGND" to play the
sample adventure. The Generic Adventure Game System requires a
computer with at least 256K of memory, MS-DOS 2.1, and at least one
disk drive.
