- OPERATION WOLF
-
- ADDITIONAL NOTES :-
-
- 1.0 CGA PALETTE SWITCHING
-
- When using CGA mode 4 different color palettes may be selected.
-
- During game play, press the F4 key until the desired color palette is
- shown.
-
-
- 2.0 MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
-
-
- The memory required to run Operation Wolf depends how much is actually FREE
- for the program to use, rather upon how much is installed in the computer. The
- amount of FREE ram is affected by the following :-
-
- A) GRAPHICS MODE SELECTED
-
- From Higher to Lower memory requirements :- Tandy 16 color, MCGA,
- Hercules Mono, CGA, VGA/EGA.
-
- If, for instance, you have a TANDY 1000 with 512k of memory, and get a
- message indicating that there is not enough memory to run the game, you
- may be able to run Operation Wolf in CGA mode.
-
-
- B) DOS VERSION
-
- Generally, the higher the DOS Version Number, the more memory DOS uses;
- therefore there is less memory left for Operation Wolf to use. Later
- version of DOS (3.3 etc) have additional programs that use memory. An
- example is FASTOPEN which is really just a TSR. Additional memory is
- taken from the system in proportion to the number of Files allocated to
- this program.
-
-
- C) NUMBER AND SIZE OF TSR PROGRAMS RESIDENT IN MEMORY.
-
- Any programs you make resident will reduce the amount of memory
- available for Operation Wolf. If you do not have enough memory
- to run the game but appear have enough installed in the machine, then
- remove some or all of the TSR programs.
-
-
- D) NUMBER OF DISK BUFFERS; RAM DISK OR CACHE IN LOW MEMORY.
-
- Each buffer set in your CONFIG.SYS takes about 512 bytes of memory.
- Setting BUFFERS=99 will take 45k away from Operation Wolf.
-
- Try reducing buffers to say 10 or 20 if you are having problems loading
- Operation Wolf.
-
-
- E) MOUSE DRIVERS
-
- If you want to use a mouse, the driver must be in memory. These can
- take up to 15k of available memory.
-
-
- **********************************************
-
-
- The FREE ram can be found by running CHKDSK (found on your DOS diskette).
-
- The ram available for use is normally displayed on the last line of
- the report as (for example) :-
-
- 567890 bytes free.
-
- For the Various display adapters, FREE ram should be at least :-
-
- VGA/EGA (512k machine typical) - 405k
- HERCULES MONO (512k typical) - 445k
- TANDY 1000 16 color mode (640k Machine required)- 530k
- CGA (512k machine typical) - 445k
- MCGA (640k machine required) - 530k
