INSTRUCTIONS

AV8B Harrier Assault

Special Instructions: ST/STE/TT version

This game requires at least 1Mb of RAM.

You should make working copies of the
(double sided) master disks by
following the 'Copying a Floppy Disk'
instructions in the ST manual. Play the
game using the copy disks, and ensure
that disk 2 is not write-protected, so
that game states can be saved.

To start the game, put disk 1 in the
drive and reset the machine. Insert
disk 2 when instructed during the
start-up sequence.

TT and ST/STE Machines with more than
1Mb of RAM can be run from the hard
disk. Create a folder 'AV8B' and copy
the following files and folders to it:
	   HARRIER.TOS from disk 1
	   DG directory from disk 1
	   All folders from disk 2.
Select low resolution, and double
click on HARRIER.TOS to start the game.

ST machines with just 1Mb and a hard
disk are not guaranteed to work from
the hard drive, as the hard disk
drivers may steal too much RAM. Try it
and see. If it doesn't work then you
must run from floppy.

Tip for TT owners: Turn off the screen
saver before playing the game.

Note that the zoom function (Page up/
page down on the PC) has been mapped
to open and close brackets on the
keypad.
