	I. GETTING STARTED

           Printing the Rules:

	      The complete Grande Arm‚e rules (v.101) are included in
	      the file RULES101.TXT. They are in standard ASCII format
	      and may be printed out using any word processing program
	      or with the following directions:

              1) Boot up DOS version 2.0 or higher.
              2) Put Start-Up Disk into default drive.
	      3) Turn on printer and align paper to top of page.
              4) Press the Ctrl and Print Screen keys simultaneously
                 to activate printer.
	      5) Key in TYPE RULES101.TXT at the DOS prompt.
              6) Press Enter.

	      The rules fit nicely onto standard 8.5 by 11 inch paper.

           Reading the Rules:

	      The rules are 28 pages  long  but  experienced  wargamers
              shouldn't  have any trouble reading through them quickly.
              For less experienced players,   I  suggest  skimming  the
              rules first then playing the game, then reading the rules
              more carefully.   Keep  in  mind  that  you don't have to
              remember all the rules, the computer will.  The rules are
              more or less for documentation and reference purposes.

           Single and Double Disk Drive Users:

              1) Boot up DOS version 2.0 or higher.
              2) Put Start-Up Disk into default drive.
	      3) Type GRANDE. Press Enter.
	      4) See RULES101.TXT, section 1.2 to continue.

           Hard Disk Users:

              1) Boot up DOS version 2.0 or higher.
	      2) Copy Start-Up Disk and Game Disk onto hard disk.
              3) Make sure hard disk is the default drive.
