 FROGGER v0.01 Beta Test Release
 By Generation-X
==============================================================================

-----------
What's new:
-----------

Version 0.01
  -Initial release
  -Fixed memory problems from alpha versions
  -More accurate response time when controlling the frog
  -Added some more animation sequences when you drown and fall off the edge

----------------------------
What needs to be fixed/done:
----------------------------
  -Need to make a routine to test CPU speed so that it runs the same on
every computer.
  -Music and sound effects would be nice to make the game more interesting
and less repetitive.
  -Need to implement XMS memory to use more than the conventional 640k
that's available to you so that this will work on all computers.
  -Smoother scrolling, the cars sometimes look as if there jumping from section
to section. Only happens on REAL slow CPU's.
  -When moving totally to the right of the screen and then up half of the frog
is drawn on the left.
  -When riding on a log while it's scrolling of the screen it is possible
to hop of the log and walk on water without dying.

---------------
Known Problems:
---------------
  The only real serious problem that I know of is the OUT OF MEMORY screen.
Unfortunatly if you get this in the QuickBASIC environment, there's nothing
that can be done. This program uses alot of conventional memory and unless
someone writes a tutorial that can actually be understood on how to use
XMS/EMS then this problem won't go away. However if this problem occurs with
the EXE file then make sure your running it in Win95+, run COMMAND.COM
ie. the DOS Prompt, then push CTRL+ESC, you'll exit the program temporarly,
then right click the DOS Prompt icon on the taskbar, and click on properties.
A window will appear with Program, Font, Memory, Screen and Misc options.
Click on memory and set EMS/XMS, Initial, and DPMI memory to the highest
setting. Then click OK, you'll need to restart the DOS Prompt for the settings
to take effect. Restart it, and run FROGGER.EXE and all should go well, if
not then quit some programs and try again. I know what your thinking, I have
a supercomputer with 64+ MBRAM why ain't it working? Well Frogger uses
conventional memory and you only have 640k of that no matter what computer,
the other 63MBRAM is in XMS, which this program doesn't use.
