We've TESTED the game on the following computers (with following configurations):
 CONFIG:  \ PC:   8086	    286       386      486,33	  >486,33
------------+---------------------------------------------------------
Sound Freq. |	    ?	     ?	      11	 11	     11
Graph.Chars |	    ?	     ?	   MEDIOCRE	GOOD	    GOOD
N. of Chann.|	    ?	     ?	       5	  9	      9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the game start you can specify some parameters on the command line;
to know which, write  "TRON ?" and press ENTER.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE PROGRAM IS CONSTITUTED BY THE FOLLOWING FILES:

CONFIG	 EXE - by configure the game for the first time
TRON	 EXE - the game
README	 TXT - this document
LEGGIMI  TXT - the same document but in italian
MIXERSBV EXE - a mixer for SoundBlaster (Pro/16)
SETFONT  EXE - to modify the characters in text mode (the ".FNT" files are
	       in the IMMAGINI directory and they are freeware!)
And by all the files contained in the directories:
 - SUONI
 - LINGUA
 - IMMAGINI
 - CAMPI
While the files in the directory  TRONCFG  are the data that come saved.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: the game takes the full possession of the computer, therefore
      it can NOT work under WINDOWS!
Technique note: the game modify the interrupt 8 and 9 and alter the PIT.



*** PROBLEMS ***
- SOUND - The game might  succeed  to find by  himself the sound  card	address
	  (generally 220h).  Sometimes happens	however that it doesn't succeed
	  at all... In such case try to give the sound first on the SPEAKER and
	  then retry with the SOUNDBLASTER.
- VIDEO - If you have a VGA you don't might have problems.
- CRASH - Since doesn't exist any game voided of errors, we think that also the
	  our could go in crash (also if it's never happened to us).
	  If the game  crashes,  you must  press CTRL+ALT+DEL  for TWO TIMES to
	  have the computer reset.
-LANGUAGE-The game is designed to use the english or the italian.
-   PC	- if your PC is slower than a 486, try to decrease some game options to
	  maintain tha playability also at high speed.
- INTRO - The introduction comes visualized in VGA 320x200 256 colours! If your
	  card doesn't hold  this  resolution, don't mind... the game  will use
	  ONLY THE 640x480 at 16 colori.
	  PS: to skip the introduction make "tron /nointro".
- VIRUS - At the start, the program executes a checking on itself:
	  a) checks that the dimension of TRON.EXE would be what it must been;
	  b) adds all the bytes of TRON.EXE and verifies that the result would
	    be equal to the value that if might have been.
	  All this serves to check that the TRON.EXE file woludn't be infected
	  by a virus.  In case that  it's happened, it'll be shown  on video a
	  warning message.
- LINK	- This version doesn't have yet the serial link between two PC.
	  But we are working on it!
