- Fixing Problems:
- ================
- If you have a problem with SCORCH when changing settings, you can just
- delete the SCORCH.CFG file and run SCORCH. It will return to the default
- settings. Or, just run FIX.BAT, and it will get rid of the bad SCORCH.CFG
- file.
-
- DOS 5.0 and QEMM:
- =================
- In the final stage of development for SCORCH, it was discovered that
- variations of DOS 5.0 and QEMM could possibly cause problems with SCORCH.
- If this is the case on your system, just remove QEMM for the time during
- which you are playing SCORCH. Please notify us, whether you are a
- registered user or not, and we will tell you of any fixes or work-arounds,
- as they become available. (Try to get service like THAT somewhere else!)
-
- Other problems/suggestions:
- ===========================
- If you have any ideas or bug reports, please contact the author.
- All comments are welcome, whether or not you are a registered user.

- ============================================================================
- Most of all, Don't forget that Scorched Earth is Shareware. The game is
- good, if somewhat addictive. The price is cheap. So why not support the
- game, its further development, and the whole shareware concept by sending
- in your $10.
-
- As they say on T.V. "Thank you for your support."
