System Requirements
-------------------
You will need 560K free RAM to play GateWorld, so make sure you have
enough RAM before running GateWorld (use DOS's MEM command to see the
size of the largest executable, it needs to be at least 560000 bytes).
If you do not have enough RAM you can remove unnecessary TSR's from
your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, or add an EMS or UMB manager to load
required TSR's high (see your DOS manual on how to do this). You will
also need a VGA system.

Joystick and keyboard are both supported, but not the mouse. Some
joysticks do not work with GateWorld (yes, we are working on fixing
this), so if GateWorld either locks up your system at the title screen,
or IMMEDIATELY goes past the title and menu screens into the game try
using the /NOJOY command line option. For a list of command line
options and how to use them type:

GTWRLD1 /HELP or
GW1HELP


GateWorld Notes
---------------
Certain VGA cards do not support one of the techniques that GateWorld
uses called Color Cycling. Because not everyone will read this text
file, Color Cycling defaults to off. You can turn it on by toggling
"Color Cycling" support from the CONFIGURE menu. If a black horizontal
line or "snow" appears when playing the game then turn Color Cycling
back off. If you set the option once it will be stored permanently in
the configuration file.

To get GateWorld to run acceptably on slow computers you can adjust the
size of the Viewport. This is done by selecting "Size view" from the
MAIN GAME menu. When you change the view port size it will be stored
permanently in the configuration file.

Pressing F1 from anywhere in the game will provide you with detailed
help.

If you are having ANY problems with the game please give HomeBrew
Software a call at (707) 451-9653. We believe in supporting our users.

About HomeBrew Software
-----------------------
HomeBrew Software was started by two programmers who used to work at
Epyx. Some commercial titles we have worked on are: "California
Games", "The Games: Summer Edition", and "Defender Of The Crown" for
the IBM PC; "Rescue On Fractalus" and "Koronis Rift" for the Tandy
Color Computer; "World Games" for the Apple ][.

HomeBrew Software is always looking for new and talented game authors.
If you have a popular game in shareware or commercially, please send a
copy for review. We offer advertising, order handling, a game
authoring system, and far better royalties than commercial publishers
offer. Join the HomeBrew Software team today!

We hope you enjoy this game. Please feel free to pass your comments
and suggestions to us at the address contained within the ordering
information screen. Please do not forget that this game is distributed
through shareware and as such we, our dealers and distributors rely on
your honesty and financial support in order that we can continue to
provide quality products and exceptional values.
