FastBreak requires the following minumum requirements:
720 KB OF FREE DISK SPACE. This can be free space on
a hard disk, two 360 kb 5.25 inch disk drives, 1

FILE ON YOUR BOOT DISK OR THE ROOT DIRECTORY OF YOUR HARD DISK:
FILES = 15

These are minumum requirements. If the number of Files and
Buffers specified in your config.sys exceeds these numbers that's
fine. If you don't have enough files it is a simple procedure to
add the above statements to your CONFIG.SYS file. Simply load your
current CONFIG.SYS file (found in the root directory of your
hard disk or boot-up diskette) into your favorite word
processor and add the above lines. MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE FILE
IN THE ASCII FORMAT (there will instructions on saving an
ASCII file in your word processor). DOS 5 users can use the
EDIT program that came with DOS 5. EDIT automatically saves
in the ASCII format.
