UMS II - Memory Requirements.
UMS II requires 1 megabyte of RAM on both the Atari ST and Commodore
Amiga home computer systems. The PC version requires 640K of
memory and the more that is available then the faster the program will
run. If UMS II seems to be taking an excessive amount of time to run
then it is advisable to remove any memory resident programs or
utilities that are installed when you boot up your machine, this will
free up more memory allowing the program to run faster. The PC
version will run in EGA and CGA graphics modes. All versions are hard
disk installable as stated in the manual. UMS II runs on DOS Versions
2.01 upwards.

UMS II - Operation.
To run the EGA verison of UMS II, type umsii at the DOS prompt. Press a
key to exit the opening sequence. To run the CGA version, type umsiicga.
On most Tandy computers, you have to run the CGA version.

UMS II - Running from floppy disk.
If you are running UMS II from floppy drive then you must ensure that
you back up the necessary files for the original scenario that you wish
to run from the disk supplied. Use one disk for each scenario.
IMPORTANT: Playing a scenario will change the data for the scenario on
disk so always use a back-up and if you want to start over copy the
.DAT and .IND from the master files.

UMS II - Installing on hard disk.
First make a subdirectory with the DOS command md(make directory command):
  md UMSII
Then change the subdirectory with the DOS command cd(change directory command):
  cd UMSII
Then put the first master disk in drive A and use the DOS copy command:
  copy a:*.* c:
Continue this until you are done with all the master disks.

Updates:
This new version of UMS II includes these features that were added after
the UMS II Manual went to press:

1. Corps Level Orders. You can give orders to ground units from the Corps(3rd) level.
   Try to be careful of obstacles as there may be some problems moving around
   them.  Especially avoid putting Corps way points in the sea.
2. Merge Units. You can merge ground units in order to reinforce existing units.  The merging
   units have to be on the same square.  Merging is done from the ground units
   orders box.
3. Follow Units. When this menu item in the Extras menu is checked then
   during the Execute Phase the map will be redrawn with the active,
   or moving unit, centered in the map. This will help you follow
   activity as units move about the map.
4. Expanded printer support. There is now a file called PRINTER.CFG which
   contains the number of the printer driver being used by the game.  By
   default the number is 52 for Epson MX-80 printers but if you change
   the number to 65 by typing:
       COPY CON PRINTER.CFG [RETURN]
       65[Function 6 key][RETURN]
   the game should be able to use HP Laserjet II and compatible printers.  For
   other printers, please contact Intergalactic Development Inc. for your
   printer driver.  Please specify exact printer model.
5. Different Path Display.  The different path type are all drawn now with
   different patterns so that you can tell them apart.  The legend for the
   path patterns is in the Legend dialog box.
6. Changed the Save As feature so that it can write over already existing files.
   Previously this wasn't allowed as a safety feature but this proved to be to
   limiting to the users so it was changed and now works like Le Guerrier
   vol. 2, no. 1 describes.
7. Versions 1.6.2 and higher allows users to hide the units on the screen
   while giving orders so they can see underlying terrain and paths. To hide
   the units, press the letter H while you have the cross-hair for giving
   orders.  This acts like a toggle, so you can show them again by pressing
   the H a second time.  Also the path bonus was fixed. The path bonus for
   waterways now works like this: a value of zero means the ship travels at the
   same speed as Coastal Sea speed. A non-zero number will be used as the
   percentage of Coastal Speed that is subtracted from the Coastal Speed so
   that ships travel slower down waterways than in the open sea.  For example,
   a number of 100 means that the ships go twice as slow as in open sea.
   You can now use the Suez Canal in the Desert Storm scenarios to move ships.
   You need to get the updated files from 12/13/91 or increase the port
   capacity of Suez with the Planet Editor.  We used the same values from Port
   Said for Suez.
8. Increased mouse support.  Now if you move the mouse to the edge of the
   screen while giving orders, the map will scroll in the direction of the
   mouse. For example, if you move the mouse to the right edge of the screen,
   the map will scroll to the east.


Bug fixes.
  Fixed bugs dealing with the accidental drop-off of units in the sea, program
  not running when using DOS earlier than 3.0 and not using a mouse, Path
  Movement Bonus, the wind effect with sail ships, a divide by zero error
  that happened in Napoleon when British were on Computer Control, Production
  problems, units occasionly losing next Way Point, Port Capacity so that it is
  now checked properly, basing for air units so that they can be based and
  automatically return to base and die if not on base and various other minor
  bugs to numerous to mention here.
   Version 1.6.2 Fixed bug with path effect.  All the bonus numbers were off by
  one when used by the program for the bonus.  This fix should also help
  canal travel.
   Version 1.6.3 Fixed bug when giving orders to Corps level units or higher.
  Sometimes icon would be redrawn in wrong spot.
   Version 1.6.4 Added patroling for air units(that are not transports) of
  Computer Controlled countries that are defensive.  Before air units of
  Computer Controlled countries that were defensive didn't do anything.
   Version 1.6.6 (No 1.6.5)  Fixed bug that caused missiles to be produced in
  the game as nuclear when they weren't of nuclear type.  Fixed bug with
  displaying objective of attacking missiles in Display Unit Info so that it
  displays correct coordinates instead random numbers.  Made changes in the
  garrisoning of units on computer control so that units that would be illegal
  for garrisoning (eg. missiles) would not garrison.  This only happened with
  units already sitting in the city. /* 01/29/92 */Changed how Shift is being
  checked for Unloading units from transports so it is checked earlier so
  Unload works better.
   Version 1.6.7 Fixed bug with how the casualties arrays are index in the
  Battle Equation so the numbers match those in the Master Control Panel.
  Also changed Battle Equation report so that the A/D index is shown for each
  unit.  Also fixed how the supply level for an unit is used throughout UMS II.
  Made sure it is based on unit strength times maximum supply per strength
  point like in the Planet Editor throughtout UMS II.  Also, now as unit loses
  strength points, it also loses supplies if it has more supplies than it can
  carry.  An unit's supplies is clipped at strength times max_supplies or 99
  whichever is smaller.  This change is also reflected in the Resupply Box,
  the Merge function and the capturing of supplies from dead units.  Now only
  Ground units can capture supplies of dead units and it can only capture
  supplies from other Ground units and from Supply units.
  Also fixed Overlord scenario because several unit types had maximum
  supply per strength points of 0 which caused problems.
   Version 1.6.8 Fixed bug that caused crash when looking at map around
  International Dateline.  Also changed how stationery reports are handled
  so that they come up much faster now.
   Version 1.6.9 Fixed bug that allowed ships under Computer Control to dump
  units into the water.  Fixed bug with outline in Move Units that caused
  merged units to appear sporadically and unit following merged unit to
  disappear and strength points to total up wrong.  Also fixed the problem
  with not being able to click on bottom units in the list after a merge.
  Increased the length of time between the first and second click in a double
  click.  Fixed More button in Merge Units box so that if there are more than
  five units on one square to merge the More button is highlighted. Made a fix
  in checking for port capacity so that the ship that was just in the port
  doesn't get counted twice if it tries to move right back in again.
   Version 1.7 Changed the version number so that it is in synch with the
  version numbers on the other machines.  Made changes so that half-height
  icons now work right on the IBM.
   Version 1.7.1 Made changes to fix crash when airbase is destroyed by SCUDs
  in MIDEAST & FEB23 scenarios.
