   IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE .EXE VERSION OF GBDEMO, PLEASE READ THE
   FOLLOWING:
   -------------------------------------------------------

   The demonstration games will run faster from the .EXE program
   than they will under QBasic.  If you want to simulate how fast
   GAMEBASIC is likely to run on your computer, please use one of
   the following factors as a slowdown factor in GBDEMO.EXE:


   Your Computer        Slowdown Factor
   -------------        ---------------

      286                   150
      386                   200
      486                   400


   Note that these factors are estimates. The eventual speed of
   Gamebasic running under QBasic will depend upon the hardware
   configuration of your PC - processor speed, virtual bus etc...



   -------------------------------------------------------
   IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE GAMEBASIC PROGRAM AND ARE
   RUNNING GBDEMO FROM QBASIC, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING.
   -----------------------------------------------------

   The QBasic program GBDEMO.BAS is very large, being a compilation
   of 7 games. When you run the program, you may get an
   "Insufficient Memory" error.

   If this happens, check the following, one at a time:

   1. Make sure that you started QBasic from the DOS prompt pointing
   to your GameBasic directory. For example,  C:\gamebasi> qbasic

   2. Make sure that you have no other programs running at the same
   time as QBasic, such as Menu programs or any other "Terminate and
   Stay Resident" (TSR) programs.

   3. Make sure that you have DOS loaded HIGH, to free-up
   conventional memory. (refer to DOS manual)

   4. Remove any unneccessary Device Drivers in conventional memory.
   (refer to DOS manual)


   If none of the above actions provide sufficient memory for
   GBDEMO.BAS to run, then do the following:

       Copy GBDEMO.BAS and call it GBDEMO1.BAS (for example) and
       delete the program code for one demo program and see if the
       new program runs. Continue deleting programs until you get a
       version that runs.



   NOTE: You may run into the same error message when you are coding
   a large game. Also, you may get an "Out of string space" error
   from QBasic if you have many lengthy character definitions or
   long string arrays.
   This is QBasic's way of telling you that you have reached its
   memory limit. To overcome the memory message, review your program
   and try to reduce the code and array sizes (if you have any). To
   overcome the string space error, cut down your character
   definitions (don't include lines which only have spaces in them and
   terminate all lines with a " AFTER THE LAST PIXEL)

   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   IF FILE GBCON.GB_ HAS BEEN CORRUPTED, OR IS MISSING FOR SOME REASON,
   IT MUST BE RE-INSTALLED. TO DO THIS, RE-INSTALL GAMEBASIC FROM THE
   PROGRAM DISK YOU RECEIVED TO A NEW DIRECTORY, ENTERING YOUR NAME AND
   REGISTRATION NUMBER WHEN REQUESTED. ONCE THIS HAS BEEN DONE, COPY
   THE FILE GBCON.GB_ TO YOUR EXISTING GAMEBASIC DIRECTORY.
