Note: When printing out forms under the NOTEPAD, first go into

Now use your printer.

Note also under Write.exe click on Document then on Page layout

Change  LEFT & RIGHT MARGINS  FROM 1.25 TO READ 0.25 each

Now print this AUTHOR.WRI, ORDRFRM.WRI, BRATS.WRI

IMPORTANT INFO YOU SHOULD KNOW!


To make BRATS more fun to play at the longer times
I have added real sound effects to the game play, menu items
and etc...

Wave Sound files as listed below that are used with this version;

Files inside WAVEFILE.EXE

CRYING.WAV
THERE.WAV
SQUIRT.WAV
CLEAR.WAV
RESET.WAV
GDBYBRS.WAV

These 6 wave files must be used with this game. But don't have 
to be placed in the same directory with the game in question.
Read over your BRATS.wri or BRATS.txt for more info about
setting up the wave sounds. 

Note: Failure to keep these files together or in your a file 
that is in your path will cause the program to use the default
beep wave sound. Or if you don't have [] ENABLE SOUND checkoff
in the CONTROL PANEL Sound Icon or have no sound card installed
in your computer, then you can also play this game with out 
hearing. But it is whole lot better if you can heard the sound
voice effects in this game.

Step1.
INSTALLATION OF WAVE FILES
Example; Create a C:\SOUND directory 

Step2.
Edit your Autoexec.bat Path line and add this path to it
Example; C:\WINDOWS;C:\SOUND

Step3.
Copy from this disk WAVEFILE.EXE to C:\SOUND
Example; COPY WAVEFILE.EXE  C:\SOUND

Step4.
Type in a Run Command line WAVEFILE and make sure your in
a C:\SOUND directory. Or Use the FileManager and mouse
and double click on WAVEFILE.EXE the same effect will happen. 

Step5.
Remove WAVEFILE.EXE from your HD now!

For the rest of the installation info read over your BRATS.WRI
or BRATS.TXT file now!

For every main menu item you click on or select a wave sound
will go off. This is normal and the game was setup this way.
So don't be alarmed when you here these extra explosion sounds.

Also one more thing when you do select Exit from the main
menu line you'll here a nice female voice message before
the game closes. It's a nice touch to add to the game I
thought? :o) Includes also Play, Stop, GameOver.

Note: BRATS was tested with many apps opened and 
system resources were at a low 9% free. 

This game still performed and  ran without any problems.
