Problems
Symptom: The game throws a 'Divide by zero' error upon startup. The patches don't seem to fix the problem.
Cause: Running the game on a PC with an AMD K5 or K6 CPU can cause this. You are trying to run the game on a PC that is far too fast compared to what it was designed for, and this error is caused by the Ad Lib portion of the game's code.
Resolution: Use the SETMUL DOS utility to disable your CPU's L1 cache ("SETMUL L1D"), bringing your system performance down to a level that may allow the game to work. If you don't want to slow down your PC there is a patch that allows it to run better on 486 systems or faster (note: this patch is for the CD-ROM version only).
To Quit the Game
To quit the game, press ALT-X. Press Y to return to the command prompt.
