2.0 Information
 
     There are three files which are part of the CAPITALS OF THE
WORLD game package.  Those files are:

     README.TXT - This file containing game information.

     CAPITALS.EXE - CAPITALS OF THE WORLD game program.

     SCORES.DAT - The scores file where high scores are kept.   
     (NOTE:  The initial scores file will simply be the default  
     file containing all "---" and scores of "9999")

     Whenever CAPITALS is started, the game checks to see if the
file SCORES.DAT is present in the same directory as CAPITALS OF
THE WORLD.  If it is not present, a default scores file
containing scores of "9999" will be created.  Otherwise, your
current high scores will be read in when the game is started.
