  41.  │   Alas, for the first time in a LONG time, my first release of this game   │
  42.  │   was flawed. My apologies to you avid gamers who got stuck on the         │
  43.  │   missions involving graphics inside complexes (nuclear reactor etc.).     │
  44.  │   The problem was that a .MIX file (INTERIOR.MIX) was mis-packaged and     │
  45.  │   ended up being appended to the end of the GENERAL.MIX file, and          │
  46.  │   therefore could not be loaded properly. Hence, the game's graphics       │
  47.  │   would go "weird" on either the Soviet Mission #7 or Allied Mission #11,  │
  48.  │   and/or the game could crash.                                             │
  49.  │                                                                            │
  50.  │   The solution:                                                            │
  51.  │                                                                            │
  52.  │   A 15k .EXE that will strip the INTERIOR.MIX file from the GENERAL.MIX    │
  53.  │   file, and then properly resize the GENERAL.MIX file. Your missions       │
  54.  │   should now look perfect, sans any of those wild-and-funky "tracer"       │
  55.  │   graphics.                                                                │
  56.  │                                                                            │
  57.  │   Just copy REDFIX.EXE into your REDALERT directory, and run it to         │
  58.  │   "fix" the graphics problem with Red Alert. Your new GENERAL.MIX file     │
  59.  │   should will be resized to 14,932,344 bytes and a new INTERIOR.MIX file   │
  60.  │   will be created that should be 247,425 bytes in size. That's it!         │
  61.  │                                                                            │
  62.  │   If you are having problems running the SETUP program to configure your   │
  63.  │   sound card for Red Alert, try the following 3 steps:                     │
  64.  │                                                                            │
  65.  │    1. Copy the NOSOUND.INI file included in this fix over your existing    │
  66.  │       REDALERT.INI file. Run SETUP again and see if it works. If not...    │
  67.  │                                                                            │
  68.  │    2. Try running SETUP.EXE in DOS and under Win95. Make sure when you     │
  69.  │       try running in DOS mode that you have no conflicting drivers that    │
  70.  │       may cause a problem. If it STILL doesn't work...                     │
  71.  │                                                                            │
  72.  │    3. Manual edit the REDALERT.INI file and fill in the appropriate        │
  73.  │       sound card information: Card, Name, Port, IRQ, DMA and               │
  74.  │       BitsPerSample. Use the following chart to locate the proper          │
  75.  │       Card and Name ids for your sound card. Note that this should ONLY    │
  76.  │       be used as a last resort...usually SETUP.EXE fails for a reason.     │
