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

  Before you assume there is something wrong with the PIL or you 
  cannot get it to run on your system, please check the following.
  If you answer yes to any of them you are doing something wrong.
  
  1.  Personal Information Library:

      _____  - 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
                GAME.CTL file first.

      _____  - 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 GAME.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.  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 Internet
  at merlin@merlins-realm.com or log onto my BBS and upload it to me.  Use 
  the first 8 letters (or less) to name the package. For example MERLIN.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!
