------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Installation Instructions:

        Simply unzip the file ATETRIS.ZIP resulting with the following files:

        ATET.EXE     -  The main ACiD Tetris executable
        ATET.DAT     -  Program Datafile
        ATET.DOC     -  Document file
        SETUP.BAT    -  Setup BATCH file
        FILE_ID.DIZ  -  BBS information text
        ATET-W95.PIF -  Win95 game icon
        STUP-W95.PIF -  Win95 setup icon

        First time running the game, simply run the batch file "SETUP.BAT" by
typing it at the DOS prompt, or by clicking on the MS-DOS shortcut "STUP-W95"
from windows.  You will then be presented with a soundcard select screen.
Choose the appropriate sound card for your system (or select "Autodetect" to
have the program attempt at auto-detecting your soundcard).
        Simply run ATET.EXE thereafter to play the game in DOS, or double
click on the DOS shortcut "ATET-W95" from windows.




System Requirements:

        ACiD Tetris has the ability to run on almost any system.  Due to the
nature of the music/sound system, a faster computer is needed for channel
mixing.  If you experience sluggish response from your system, try lowering
the mixing rate at the sound-setup screen.  Turn off the music as a last
resort (it just makes the game a bit dull without the great music. :)

        No Music:      With Music & Full Mixing Rates:
        486/33mhz      Pentium 90

(Note: Mixing rates vary from sound-card to sound-card.  These ratings apply
to a Soundblaster 8-bit soundcard.  Some soundcards, such as the Gravis
Ultrasound, do hardware mixing, and will achieve the same results if not better
on a 486/33Mhz machine as compared to a Pentium 120 with a Soundblaster.)

        A graphics card capable of displaying the screen resolution of
320x240x256 is also required.  If your system has trouble achieving this mode,
try using a vesa driver (such as UniVBE) to adjust videocard or monitor
settings.

        ACiD Tetris will run under MS-DOS 3.1 or higher, and under Win95
as well.  Better performance can be achieved under DOS than Win95.  Please
use the shortcuts provided when running ACiD Tetris under Win95.  ACiD Tetris
will NOT run with sound under Windows 3.1, it will crash the system if
sound is enabled.




Running The Game:
        ACiD Tetris is pretty self explanitory.  Simply follow the onscreen
instructions at the main-selection screen by using the arrow keys and "ENTER"
for choosing keyboard-setups, viewing high-scores, viewing credits, and changing
music selection.  To change the music selection, simply move to the line that
displays "Music:", and hit ENTER.  The game will then switch to the next song
available.
