Pool Shark 3.0
--------------
Installation
------------
To install Pool Shark do the following :
1) If you have downloaded Pool Shark from a BBS, unzip
the compression file and there will be 4 files that
are decompressed : README, INSTALL.EXE, ID, and BESTOFF
Go into the directory with these files and enter
INSTALL at the DOS prompt.
If you have received Pool Shark on a floppy, put the Pool
Shark floppy into drive A: or drive B and type :
A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL
2) Answer the drive and directory questions that the install
process asks, or just accept the defaults by pressing Enter.
If you accept the defaults, Pool Shark will be installed in
the directory \POOL on the requested destination hard drive.
3) After installation is complete, the game will start up
automatically. To run Pool Shark later, go into the
installation directory and type in POOL at the prompt.
4) To get help use on-line Help by pressing "H" or left click
on (H), or pick Help from the Menu. You can get a hard copy
of the Help by printing out the file "pool.hlp" in the Pool
Shark directory.
Hardware Requirements
---------------------
o VGA or EGA monitor.
o 286, 386, 486 or higher processor.
o Hard Drive
o Mouse : Make sure that a mouse driver is installed, before
running Pool Shark. See your mouse manual for details.
If you are running Pool Shark from Windows, don't assume
that because Windows is already using the mouse, that a
mouse driver is installed and therefore useable by Pool
Shark. This in not necessarily the case. You must
explicitly install, a mouse driver, so that it is
resident in memory, before starting Windows. If Pool
Shark starts up, and the Menu flashes on and off while
receiving no keyboard or mouse input, there is no mouse
driver installed. Hit <CTRL>Break and install a mouse
drive.
o RAM : Pool Shark requires 450 K of free conventional memory. If
you don't have enough RAM, run DOS in high memory.
Put these lines in the CONFIG.SYS file :
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
If you still don't have enough RAM try using the EMM386
memory manager by putting the following in the CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE
If you don't have enough conventional memory available
to run Pool Shark, but have extended memory and Windows,
Pool Shark can be run from Windows, but it will run
more slowly. (Also remember to install a mouse driver
before starting Windows, becuase Pool Shark will not have
access to the Windows mouse driver)
