HOME RUN DERBY
An MVP Software Production
By Dan Hilton
copyright 1995 Dan Hilton
HOME RUN DERBY is an exciting simulation of an all-time home run
hitting contest. It takes a good eye and a lot of practice to be
able to hit the long ball consistently. Good Luck.
Home Run Derby is shareware. The few dollars you paid for this
shareware version goes does not go to the author. It is simply the
modest fee you pay to try the software. You are free to evaluate
this software. If you like it or find it useful, you must register
with MVP Software by purchasing the Home Run Derby Trilogy. When
you purchase the trilogy you will receive the latest version,
including all three stadiums, 30 players from all time periods in
baseball history, a printed manual, and a free offer on all other
MVP shareware games.
Thanks for playing Home Run Derby and for supporting shareware.
Your honesty pays.

INSTALLATION
------------
If you downloaded this file from a BBS, you don't need to run
Install. If you purchased an evaluation disk from a shareware
vendor or the story, follow these directions.
To install Home Run Derby, place the diskette into the A drive and
type A:, or into the B drive and type B:. When the A> or B> prompt
appears on the screen, type INSTALL. Follow the directions to
install the software.
To begin the game type Derby.
NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS
---------------------
Home Run Derby might run as a DOS application, spawned under
Windows, but you may encounter sound card conflicts. The best
solution if you run into conflicts is to completely exit from
Windows before starting Home Run Derby. Clicking on the DOS prompt
is NOT exiting Windows. You must actually close your Windows
session.
We strongly recommend that you terminate Windows completely before
running Home Run Derby and run the game directly from DOS.
MAKING A CLEAN BOOT DISK
------------------------
If you encounter problems running Home Run Derby there may be a
conflict between it and a program resident in memory. Here's a way
to avoid the conflict.
Place a blank, unformatted diskette into drive A of your computer.
Then type
FORMAT A:/S/U
and press enter. When the computer is finished formatting the disk
and copying the system files to it, press the RESET button on your
computer or the ALT-CTRL-DEL keys at the same time. After your
computer has rebooted, go to the Home Run Derby directory and play
the game. If it runs, there is a conflict between a resident
program loaded by your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. Whenever
you want to play Home Run Derby, simply reboot your computer with
the boot disk you have created.
