WORLD CUP GOLF - DORADO BEACH: Version 1.01
--------------------------
PROBLEMS WITH VESA DRIVERS
--------------------------
World Cup Golf requires a VESA compliant graphics card in order to
function correctly. Most modern graphics cards either support the VESA
standard via built-in software or by using a specific driver which
must be loaded before running World Cup Golf.
We have provided a number of VESA drivers with the game which cover
the most common graphics cards on the market. If World Cup Golf does
not function correctly, you should run the driver corresponding to
your graphics card from those provided.
-------------------
USING A VESA DRIVER
-------------------
(1) Determine which graphics card is fitted to your machine. If you
have any doubts, contact the makers of your computer or U.S.
Gold's Technical Support department.
(2) Locate the correct VESA driver for your graphics card from those
provided with the game.
(3) If the VESA driver ends with the extensions COM or EXE, simply
type the name of the driver to run it.
e.g. IF the driver is called TLIVESA.EXE, type TLIVESA
(4) If the VESA driver ends with the extension SYS, you will need to
add a new line to your CONFIG.SYS file to run the driver. IF you
are unsure of how how to do this, contact U.S. Gold's Technical
Support department.
(5) If no driver is provided for your graphics card, try the universal
driver in the UNIVESA sub-directory.
(6) If you still have problems or are unsure of any of the steps
outlined above, please contact U.S. Gold's Technical Support
department on 021-326-6418 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

ADDENDA
-------
Between producing the manual and finishing World Cup Golf, a few
changes were made to the game. These feature and changes are not
mentioned in the manual, so here are explanations for each of them.
(1) Using The Review Player Menu (see chapter 5 - The Review Player
Menu), you can only change handicap and clubs.
(2) Using the practice facilities (see chapter 5 - Practice
Facilities), the Play All Holes options has been removed.
(3) An Autosave facility has now been implemented in the game to
prevent you from losing the data from your current game in the
event of a power cut or accidently switching off your machine.
This facility will save your current game into the 10th savegame
slot, which is marked with an '*', at the start of the next hole.
You can now no longer save a game into the 10th slot manually but
the game is re-loaded in the normal way.
(4) Joystick control has been implemented for certain functions within
the game. However, please note that Icons cannot be moved around
the screen with the joystick and the Land LSI indicator cannot be
used.
(5) To accomodate the varying initialisation times of different CD-ROM
drives we have included a Command-Line-Switch which allows you to
alter the length of the pause between CD swaps. The pause time is
currently set to 15 seconds but if you have a fast CD-ROM drive
you may wich to reduce this time.
Alternatively, if you have a very slow drive and experience
problems during CD swapping, you may wish to lengthen the pause.
To use the switch type CDGOLF to run the game, followed by a
number between 5 and 200 for the number of seconds -
e.g. CDGOLF 10
