IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS ON USING THIS PROGRAM:
YOU MAY START THIS PROGRAM BY TYPING: SCRABBLE
REMEMBER, THAT THIS DISK HAS CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR SYSTEM IN
ORDER TO RUN. THE FIRST IS AN VGA MONITOR AND MATCHING VIDEO CARD ARE
NEEDED, A CGA OR EGA WON'T WORK! THE SECOND IS 600K OR MORE OF RAM
MEMORY AVAILABLE FOR THE GAME TO LOAD AND FUNCTION. THIS DOES NOT
MEAN 590K, BUT A MINIMUM OF 600K OF RAM IS REALLY NEEDED!
THIS WOULD PRECLUDE HAVING ANY RAM RESIDENT PROGRAMS OR EVEN MOST
ITEMS CONTAINED IN ORDINARY CONFIG.SYS OR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILES. TO AVOID
RENAMING THESE FILES AND RE-BOOTING YOUR COMPUTER, WE WOULD SUGGEST IT
WOULD BE MUCH SIMPLER TO USE YOUR ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED DOS START-UP DISK.
SIMPLY PUT THE UNMODIFIED (NO CONFIG.SYS OR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILES ON IT) DOS
DISK IN DRIVE: A AND CLOSE THE DRIVE DOOR. TURN ON AND BOOT UP YOUR
SYSTEM THIS WAY EVEN IF YOU HAVE A HARD DRIVE.
AFTER DOING THE ABOVE, REMOVE THE DOS DISKETTE AND REPLACE IT WITH YOUR
SCRABBLE GAME DISK. TYPE THE COMMAND: SCRABBLE AND PUSH.
FOLLOW THE ON SCREEN PROMPTS AFTER THE GAME LOADS. REMEMBER, IT TAKES A
WHILE FOR THIS DISK TO LOAD IN MEMORY, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT.
IF AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES YOU STILL HAVE A BLANK SCREEN AND THE RED
LIGHT ON THE DISK DRIVE HAS GONE OUT, YOU CAN ASSUME YOU HAVE ONE OF TWO
SITUATIONS. EITHER YOU DO NOT HAVE A PROPERLY INSTALLED OR CONFIGURED EGA
CARD AND MONITOR, OR YOU HAVE INSUFFICIENT MEMORY AVAILABLE. USE THE DOS
CHKDSK COMMAND TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH RAM MEMORY IS AVAILABLE. REMEMBER,
A MINIMUM OF 600K IS NEEDED.
