ENTOMBED REQUIRES EITHER 640x480 OR 800x600 256 COLOUR DISPLAY.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE...

To install Entombed 1.0 for Windows on your hard drive:

 1A. If you have downloaded Entombed as an archive, then make sure
     that you have download all four archives. These are named
     entv1_1.zip through to entv1_4.zip.  Unzip the contents of
     these archives onto a floppy disk or separate directory.

 1B. If you have received Entombed on a floppy disk directly from
     Chaos Concepts, then this has already been done for you.

 2.  Place the disk in the floppy drive of your computer.

 3.  Open the file menu of the Windows program manager and select Run.

 4.  In the Run dialogue box, type A:ESETUP or B:ESETUP, or as is
     appropriate.

 5.  Now that you are in the ESETUP utility, confirm that the
     installation directory matches the actual directory where the
     archives can be found. If it does not then enter the correct path
     in the installation directory text box.

 6.  Next you may choose to modify the drive Entombed will be installed
     on to.

 7A. Next you choose the archives you wish to install.  If you have
     downloaded entombed from a BBS then there will be four of these.
     One by one you must click on each Archive button to install the
     contents of each archive.

 7B. If you received entombed on a disk directly from Chaos Concepts
     then all you need do is click on the first archive button.

 8.  Next select the sound options you require. If you are not sure
     which ones match your sound card then leave these options
     unchecked and consult your sound card documentation. You can
     change these options later from within the Entombed game
     application.

 9.  Finally the installation program will reboot your system to
     initialise the changes you have made.

Purchasing the commercial release of entombed.

    Chaos Concepts, the creators of Entombed believe entertainment
    software prices are too high. Our research indicates that many
    game players in fear of spending good money on a lousy game,
    pirate software before they buy it to try it out. They also
    jointly buy entertainment software with their friends in order to
    reduce the purchase cost. Some simply pirate game software
    because they can't afford to buy all the games that they would
    like to play.  Because of this we decided to let you try out our
    game free of charge.

    If you like this program then you are free to use it for as long
    as you like. The Entombed ver 1.0 shareware release contains the
    entire first level of the Entombed game. If you want to see how
    the game continues and play it through to the end then you will
    have to purchase the commercial release of Entombed. The
    commercial release of Entombed is not shareware and you must
    purchase it in order to use it.

    If you think the shareware release is good, then wait till you see
    the commercial release, it contains three new game levels which
    include morphing, animation, fully rendered 3D graphics, digitised 
    speech and comes in a designed box. ( There is a photo of it in 
    the game ). 

    Commercial release owners also have access to the hint line
    section of our BBS, this has been set up to give you clues on how
    to solve the many puzzles, should you get stuck. When you finish
    the commercial release of Entombed you can also send us your save
    game and you will receive a certificate of completion.

    Purchasing the commercial release will entitle you to telephone
    support, special access to our BBS, notification of updates and
    other worthwhile things. More to the point, it will make you feel
    good.  We haven't infested the program with excessive beg notices,
    crippled it or had it verbally insult you after ten days so we
    trust you to support Entombed if you like it.

Release notes:

System requirements:

    Entombed 1.0 for Windows requires Windows 3.1 or better, a MS-
    mouse or compatible windows pointing device, 2 megabytes of system
    ram, a 512k SVGA display card and driver that supports the 640 x
    480 256 colour SVGA mode, Dos 5.0 or better and 6 Mb of free hard
    disk space.

    Entombed for Windows has been written in Microsoft C++ and has
    been tested with Microsoft Windows 3.1, If you have any problems
    with Entombed.. or just some comments.. we'd like to hear from you.


Compression:

    As you may have realised the Entombed 1.0 graphics are
    uncompressed and so consequently take up 6 megabytes of hard disk
    space. The Entombed program does support on the fly decompression
    of it's graphic files. However because compressed files do not
    archive as efficiently as uncompressed files the designers decided
    to disable file compression in order to make the archive as small
    as possible seeing Entombed 1.0 is a shareware release. So
    although Entombed 1.0 takes up a more hard disk space, the archive
    will fit on one 1.44 mb floppy disk and also requires less time to
    download from bulletin boards. The commercial version of the game
    has the compression enabled, and only requires 8 megabytes of hard
    disk space for the entire game which is over 30 megabytes of
    graphics uncompressed.


Entombed Error Messages:

type (1) files missing

    This error will be reported if files required by Entombed are
    missing. The solution is to re-install Entombed using the ESETUP
    program. However leave the "Install to program manager" option
    unchecked.

type (2) memory low

    This error message indicates that windows system resources are
    low.  If this happens, save your game and close Entombed. Then
    from the windows desktop close any open applications that you are
    currently not using. Alternatively you could create a larger
    virtual drive using the "386 Enhanced" utility within the windows
    control panel.

    If you ignore this error and continue to use Entombed while memory
    is low, then the Entombed application will automatically close if
    memory runs out.


type (3) display detection error (message box)

    This error appears if the Entombed game application didn't detect
    a 256 colour display adaptor. Entombed does this by checking the
    display.drv entry in your System.ini under the heading boot
    description. Your system.ini should have an entry that looks like
    this...

    [boot.description]
    display.drv=Video 7 1Mb, 640x480 256 colours

    What Entombed does, is search for the characters "256" in the
    display.drv entry.  If it doesn't find them it prompts you with a
    type (3) error message before starting the game. If you have a 256
    colour display but it is not set to a 256 colour mode, please use
    your windows setup program to do so. If your display is set to a
    256 colour mode and you still receive this error message, you can
    either choose to ignore it or edit your system.ini. If you want to
    edit the system.ini, use the windows program sysedit in the system
    directory and simply add "256" to the end of the display.drv entry
    under the boot description heading.


type (4) required files missing (message box)

    This error will be reported if files required by Entombed are
    missing or if you have renamed the Entombed directory. The simple
    solution is to re-install Entombed using the ESETUP program. When
    Entombed is installed ESETUP creates a file in your windows
    directory called Entombed.ini which contains information used by
    Entombed. The Entombed path is stored in an entry called Dir under
    the startup heading.

    [Startup]
    Dir=C:\ENTOMBED\

    If your choose to change or rename the Entombed directory, then
    be sure to update the startup entry in the Entombed.ini file.


type (5) save game file missing (message box)

    Entombed comes with a save game file called "ENTOMBED.SAV" you
    may exchange this with friends, or make backups of it etc.
    However do not run the Entombed game application without the
    "ENTOMBED.SAV" file.  Never try to edit your Entombed save game
    data.  This is a binary data file and if it becomes corrupted,
    the Entombed game application will become unstable.


Midi problems:

    In the event that your sound driver fails, you will need to reload
    your midi driver.  Do this by running the "drivers" utility within
    the windows control panel. Click on "add" and select your existing
    sound driver from the list. Click on "current" and then select
    "restart windows". This will reset your midi driver.


Midi mapping:

    If you have a midi sound device, you will need to map it to
    general midi using the "MIDI mapper" utility within the windows
    control panel.  If you have a sound blaster card then we recommend
    you map your midi to "Adlib general".


Reporting bugs:

    While we have tested Entombed 1.0 thoroughly, it's possible that
    you may encounter a situation we haven't anticipated. If this
    happens, we would be interested in knowing about it so we can fix
    it.

Here's how to report a bug to us.

    Copy your ENTOMBED.SAV, ENTOMBED.INI, WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI,
    CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files onto a floppy. Provide a
    description of what you did and what happened,  and tell us with
    as much detail as possible what sort of hardware you're using.

    Alternately, ZIP up the relevant files and upload them to our
    bulletin board.

    If we can't recreate it, we probably won't be able to fix it.

    Before you contact us with a problem, please make sure you've read
    this document thoroughly and that you understand the system
    requirements and how the software should work.

    We will attempt to answer questions from shareware users who write
    to us to the extent that their answers are needed for them to
    determine whether they wish to purchase the commercial release of
