                         --------------
Installation
------------

  To install Pool Shark do the following :
  
  1) If you have downloaded Pool Shark from a BBS, unzip
     the compression file and there will be 3 files that
     are decompressed : README, INSTALL.EXE, and P-SHARK.
     Go into the directory with these files and enter
     INSTALL at the DOS prompt.

     If you have received Pool Shark on a floppy, put the Pool 
     Shark floppy into drive A: or drive B and type :
     A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL
  
  2) Answer the drive and directory questions that the install
     process asks, or just accept the defaults by pressing Enter.
     If you accept the defaults, Pool Shark will be installed in
     the directory \POOL on the requested destination hard drive.

  3) After installation is complete, the game will start up 
     automatically.  To run Pool Shark later, go into the 
     installation directory and type in POOL at the prompt.
  
  4) To get help use on-line Help by pressing "H" or left click 
     on  (H), or pick Help from the Menu.  You can get a hard copy
     of the Help by printing out the file "pool.hlp" in the Pool 
     Shark directory.

  Hardware Requirements
  ---------------------
  o  VGA or EGA monitor.
  
  o  286, 386, 486 or higher processor.

  o  Hard Drive
  
  o  Mouse : Make sure that a mouse driver is installed, before 
             running Pool Shark.  See your mouse manual for details.
             If you are running Pool Shark from Windows, don't assume
             that because Windows is already using the mouse, that a
             mouse driver is installed and therefore useable by Pool
             Shark.  This in not necessarily the case.  You must 
             explicitly install, a mouse driver, so that it is 
             resident in memory, before starting Windows.  If Pool 
             Shark starts up, and the Menu flashes on and off while
             receiving no keyboard or mouse input, there is no mouse
             driver installed.  Hit <CTRL>Break and install a mouse
             drive.
  
  o  RAM  :  Pool Shark requires 640 K of conventional memory and
             needs to have DOS run in high memory.  These lines should 
             be in the CONFIG.SYS file :

                 DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
                 DOS=HIGH
             
             If you get a message "Not enough Heap Space",  try 
             rebooting and running Pool Shark with the following 
             in the CONFIG.SYS file :
                 
                 DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 

             If you don't have enough conventional memory available
             to run Pool Shark, but have extended memory and Windows,
             Pool Shark can be run from Windows, but it will  run
             more slowly. (Also remember to install a mouse driver 
             before starting Windows)
