- Thanks for giving TORUS a try! Below is some information you may find
- helpful before you try playing TORUS.
-
- ***REQUIREMENTS***
- TORUS requires DOS version 3.0 or later to work properly. It also
- requires an EGA or VGA compatible display adapter and display. If your
- computer does not meet these specs, you will not be able to run TORUS.
- TORUS runs best on 386 and 486 class computers. I recommend running
- TORUS in EGA mode on 286 computers to help improve performance. Although
- the program runs on 8086's and 8088's, it's pretty slow.
- TORUS appears to run just fine under the DOS Shell provided with
- Windows 3.1. It hasn't been officially tested under Windows 3.0. If you
- run under Windows, be sure no other programs are open in the background.
- Having other applications open can significantly reduce performance in
- TORUS. In any event, I did not specifically design TORUS with Windows
- compatibility in mind, so I can't make any promises about running under
- current or future versions of Windows. I recommend running TORUS as a
- DOS application.
-
- ***INSTALLING TORUS***
- To install TORUS, simply create a directory on your hard disk and
- copy the following files into the new directory: TORUS.EXE, TORUSDAT.EGA,
- TORUSDAT.VGA, and README.TRS. You can also run TORUS from a floppy disk
- if all four files are located in the same directory on the floppy and
- the floppy is not write-protected. A very small amount of disk space
- (250 bytes) must be free when you first run TORUS so that the program can
- create a file in which high scores are stored (TORUSHI.DAT).
- To run TORUS, switch to the directory that contains the files
- mentioned above, type "TORUS", and press <RETURN>. You can also add
- the TORUS directory to your DOS PATH. If you do so, you will not have to
- switch to the TORUS directory when you want to run TORUS.
-
- ***HOW TO PLAY THE GAME***
- Everything else you need to know about TORUS can be found in the
- "info" section of the program. To view this information, run the program
- and press "i" when the opening screen appears. It may also help to run
- the demo by pressing "d".
