echo If you did not have any one of the four files previously listed, you cannot
echo play QUIZZER. You should contact the source that provided you your software.
echo ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
echo If your computer has a hard disk you may install QUIZZER on it by two methods:
echo 1. Use the INSTALL file to copy the QUIZZER game to your hard disk C: (only!)
echo -- or (if your hard disk is not drive C:) --
echo 2. Use the DOS COPY command by entering the following from your floppy drive:
echo COPY Q*.* (d:)
echo Where (d:) is the letter of your computer's hard disk drive.
echo In either case, if you wish to install QUIZZER in a sub-directory, you should
echo create that sub-directory and be sure that your hard disk is currently logged
echo to that sub-directory at the time you issue either of the above installation
echo commands. To continue,

echo QUIZZER will always run faster and more efficiently from a hard disk although
echo you do not need to have one to play the game.
echo ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
echo Whether you use a hard disk or floppy disk to play QUIZZER, whenever you wish
echo to begin the game simply type the word QUIZZER from your prompt and press the
echo the ENTER key (RETURN on some computers), and the game will load and begin.
echo ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
echo Whenever QUIZZER is played, some additional files are created by the game.
echo These files have NTX extensions. These are temporary files. If you wish to
echo conserve disk space after playing QUIZZER, you may delete these files.
echo When the game is played, QUIZZER will recreate these files if they do not
echo currently exist.

echo NOTE! If you do not have your computer configured for FILES=20 (or more) you
echo should copy the file CONFIG.SYS from the QUIZZER system disk to you computers
echo root directory, then REBOOT your computer. This will prevent the DOS Error 4
echo indicating that there are too many files open. (See the QUIZZER help screen)

echo QUIZZER Version 3.0 now supports color. When you first load the game you are
echo asked what display type you prefer to use, color or monochrome. Once you have
echo specified your display type, you need not change it again. If however you do
echo need to alter the display type, simply delete the file named QZR.MEM.
echo This file contains the display type information. If QUIZZER is played and
echo this file does not exist QUIZZER will ask for the display type again and save
echo it once again in a newly created QZR.MEM file.

echo If you wish to use game files from any earlier (1.0 / 2.0) version of QUIZZER
echo you must first run the CONVERT utility from a hard disk. Instructions are:
echo ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
echo To convert an earlier version of QUIZZER -
echo 1. If your earlier version of QUIZZER is not on your hard disk,
echo copy it there before trying to run CONVERT. You cannot run
echo it from a floppy disk.
echo 2. Now copy all the version 3.0 files from the floppy disk into
echo the same directory as your earlier version.
echo 3. Type CONVERT and press the Enter key.
echo That is all it takes. CONVERT runs quickly and you may begin using
echo QUIZZER right away.
