EARTHSIEGE 2 DEMO
_____________________________________________________________

I. System Requirements.

EARTHSIGE II requires Windows 95 and Direct Draw (DirectX) 
to run.

This demo is optimized for performance on a Pentium based 
machine with at least 16 megabytes of RAM. The minimum 
supported machine is a 486/66MHz with Localbus, SVGA, mouse,
and eight megabytes of RAM. 

If you are running this demo on a non-pentium machine, you 
may find better results if you run in 320X200 resolution. 
See the section on "Launching the Demo" for further 
information.

II. Installation

For this demo to work you MUST first decompress the files. 
Copy the ES2DEMO.EXE program to an empty directory on
your hard disk and type
	
	ES2DEMO -d

in a DOS box and press the Enter key.  

Make sure to include the -d switch!

III. Notes about Direct Draw

If your machine does not have the Direct Draw (DirectX) drivers
installed, you will need to download them seperately. The 
EARTHSIEGE 2 demo will not run without DirectX installed.  

The demo will launch in a window by default. You can click 
on the maximize button inside the upper right hand corner of
the game window to switch to full screen mode. Not all video 
cards support direct draw's full screen mode. If you experience
problems in full screen mode, press the "Alt" and "Enter" keys 
at the same time to switch back to windowed mode.

IV. Launching the demo

To run the demo, either type "ES" in a DOS box, or double-
click on the ES icon in Explorer.

You can run at 320X200 resolution by adding a " -v0" 
(space, minus sign, lowercase 'v' and numerical zero) after 
"ES" in a DOS box. Your command line would look like
this: 	ES -v0
