CHECKLIST FOR SETUP/PLAY PROBLEMS
                      ----------------------------------

  Before you assume there is something wrong with the game(s) or you 
  cannot get them to run on your system please check the following.
  If you answer yes to any of them you are doing something wrong.
  
  1.  GodFather of Crime:

      _____  - You forgot to make sure SHARE is loaded (for Multi-node only)

      _____  - You did not delete ALL the old game files prior setting up
                this new version. Applicable ONLY if you are upgrading
                from a previous version. Note: If you are registered then
                do NOT delete your old key.dat file.
        
      _____  - You forgot to run the DDSETUP.EXE program to configure the
                GOC.CTL file first.

      _____  - You forgot to run the SETUP.EXE after configuring the GOC.CTL
                file.

      _____  - The start up batch routine does not get the drop file
                INTO the game directory OR tell the game where the drop
                file can be found.

      _____  - You attempted to alter the key.dat file without obtaining
                the correct key code from me directly.

      _____  - You are running a fossil but forgot to configure the
                appropriate CTL file to show that you are using a fossil
                and at what speed you have locked the port. Use the XFossil
                option in the GOC.CTL file for speeds above 38400.

      -----  - You have not tried to change to a different drop file format
                to see if that might be the problem.

      -----  - You do NOT have ANSI.SYS installed.

      -----  - You do NOT have ALL the game files in the same directory?
  
  2.  Rise To Power:

      _____  - You forgot to make sure SHARE is loaded (for Multi-node only)
  
      _____  - You forgot to configure the GOC.CTL/RTP.CTL file first.

      _____  - You forgot to run the GOCINIT.EXE/RTPINIT.EXE after 
                configuring the CTL file. Note: GOCEDIT.EXE/RTPEDIT.EXE
                file can be used in place of these IF you are registered.

      _____  - You forgot to run the MAINT.EXE file after running the
                GOCINIT.EXE/RTPINIT.EXE files.

      _____  - You forgot to run the MAINT.EXE file as a daily event.

      _____  - You did not try to reset the game after experiencing a game
                problem and you just installed a new version of the game
                over an old one.

      _____  - The start up batch routine does not get the drop file
                INTO the directory where the game is located.

      _____  - You attempted to alter the key.dat file without obtaining
                the correct key code from me directly.

      _____  - You are running a fossil but forgot to configure the
                appropriate CTL file to show that you are using a fossil
                and at what speed you have locked the port.

      -----  - You have not tried to change to a different drop file format
                to see if that might be the problem.

      -----  - You do NOT have ANSI.SYS installed.

      -----  - You do NOT have ALL the game files in the same directory?

  3.  Task Force Broadside, Ship of the Line, Grunt Fest,
       Adventure Door Game Toolkit and Way Freight:

      _____  - You forgot to make sure SHARE is loaded IF you are
                running multi-node OR under desqview.  Not required
                for single node operation.
  
      _____  - You forgot to configure the *.CTL file first.
                (Substitute your game name for the "*" in *.ctl

      _____  - The start up batch routine does not tell the game where
                the drop file can be obtained and what node is playing.

      _____  - You attempted to alter the 3rd line of the key.dat file
                without obtaining the correct key code from me directly.

      _____  - You are running a fossil but forgot to configure the
                CTL file to show that you are using a fossil and at what
                speed you have locked the port.

      -----  - You have not tried to change to a different drop file format
                to see if that might be the problem.

      -----  - You do NOT have ANSI.SYS installed.

      -----  - You do NOT have ALL the game files in the same directory?

  3.  OK, I have not done anything wrong based on the above.  What do I
  do now?  If it is a game problem fill out the bugrpt.frm completely
  and then package it up with any error logs, your CTL file and the
  batch routine which runs the game, and transmit it to me via fido
  (1:391/3010) or log onto my BBS and upload it to me.  Use the first 8
  letters (or less) to name the package. For example DALTON.ZIP would be
  the name of my compressed package containing the BUGRPT.FRM and other
  required files which I might submit. Please note that I will NOT
  respond to ANY inquiries or bug reports unless I get these things!
