Abstract

work, there are a few things your computer must have. The processor has to be an 80386 with a system speed of at least 33MHz (megahertz). Basically, any computer with “386, ” “486 ” or “Pentium ” in its name should do just fine. For best play, we recommend at least a 486 with a speed of 50MHz. You must have a version of DOS numbered 5.0 or higher. Almost all 386, TM 486 and Pentium computers include DOS in the standard software package. There have to be at least 520K (532,480 bytes) of free conventional memory. The nice thing is, you don’t even have to know what a K is. (It’s a “kilobyte”—1024 bytes. Never mind what a byte is.) To find out whether you have enough, at the DOS prompt type mem/c and press r. Somewhere in the mess of information that pops up will be a line something like “Largest executable size. ” That’s what tells you how much free conventional memory you have.
