        INSTALLING THE MANUAL

        If you install the manual and the game both from Windows 
        you should encounter no problems, regardless of whether you 
        have chosen MINIMUM or FULL installation, even if you later 
        choose to run the game from DOS.  However, if you first 
        install Aces of the Pacific from DOS and later install the 
        manual from Windows, you must be careful to choose the same 
        size install that you used for the game.  The manual is 
        always run from the CD, so your installation choice will not 
        affect the operation of the online manual.  However, 
        choosing a different install size when you install the 
        manual may result in some files being changed and render
        Aces of the Pacific unplayable.  If this should happen, simply 
        delete the Aces of the Pacific files from your hard drive and 
        reinstall. 

        ACES OF THE PACIFIC AND WINDOWS

        Aces of the Pacific was originally a DOS application, and 
        while we have provided PIFs and icons to allow you to run 
        under Windows, systems will not be able to properly execute 
        Aces of the Pacific from Windows.  If you have any problems 
        running your program under Windows, we highly recommend you 
        run under DOS.  Complete instructions for installing and 
        running Aces of the Pacific under DOS can be found in the 
        technical support portion of the printed documentation.

        MEMORY CONCERNS

        Some memory managers may be unable to load both CD ROM drivers
        and compression drivers into high memory.  Because of this it
        may not be possible to free enough conventional memory to run
        Aces of the Pacific while your CD ROM drive is enabled.  It 
        may be necessary to run Aces of the Pacific from a bootdisk 
        that does not enable your CD ROM drive.  Complete 
        instructions are in the technical support section of the 
        printed documentation.

        THE MANUAL AND 16 COLOR WINDOWS
        
        We highly recommend that you view the online manual in 256
        colors.  While the manual supports 16 color systems, the 
        quality of the artwork will be greatly diminished on these 
        systems, and certain color plates may not be displayed. 
        Most VGA cards are shipped with appropriate drivers to 
        support Windows in 256 color mode.  Consult your Windows 
        manual on how to use setup to change video drivers.  

        THE NEED FOR SPEED

        If the frame rate seems too low or the program doesn't 
        seem to be running smoothly, there are several things to
        try.  First, if you are running under Windows, try running
        Aces of the Pacific under DOS, following the instructions 
        found in the printed documentation.  Reducing the detail of 
        the simulation will also improve frame rate, as will turning
        the ground detail "off" during combat.  The detail selections
        may be called up by pressing F10 at any time from the sim.
        Also, smoothness will be increased by sliding the Time Scale
        slider slightly to the left.  This will slow the overall
        time rate of the game slightly, but will decrease the time
        that passes between frames and smooth out jumpiness.
