	TROUBLESHOOTING ADDENDUM
       
  a) On old Atari with TOS 1.0 may be some problems with loading files 
      during playing of the music ("Read file error !, *.MAP). Solution of
      this problem is setting up music quality to low.
  b) Memory is overflow. Power up need minimal 1015 Kbytes of RAM memory
     (1Mbytes Atari, free memory is 9 Kbyte). You have to eliminate some
     resident programs as accessories, drivers,.... In case 1Mbytes with
     harddisk (harddisk driver in memory) you have to run game only from
     floppy disk.
