- Special Notes and Requirements
- ==============================
-
- Amazeing 5 requires Windows 3.1 or above, and a colour
- display device, preferably a 256 colour one. Other than that,
- it should run on just about any machine. However, the faster
- the better, and to get a decent game play speed, you should
- use a 486 DX/66 with an accelerated video card.
-
- If the bitmap animation is too slow for your video card
- (that is, the special way the larger bitmaps are displayed,
- such as the About dialog box), manually edit AMAZEING.INI and
- change the value of the "AnimateBigBitmaps" line from "1" to "0".

- find it, do a search on the web for "Amazeing" or for my name, and
- you should be able to find it.
