                     Playable Demo 

                   23th August 1996


System Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two versions of SWIV 3D appear in this Demo, a Windows95 
native version and a DOS version. The Windows95 version 
uses DirectX (See Below) - if you have problems with 
the DirectX drivers, we suggest you try the DOS version.
(This may run faster than the Windows95 version on some
hardware configurations.)

For Windows95 run INSTALL.EXE

For DOS run DOSINST.EXE

The Recommended specification of the DEMO is a 
Pentium 90 or greater.

The DEMO version has not been optimised and therefore 
the final version will run considerably faster.

MMX optimised code is not implemented in this version.

Controls
~~~~~~~~
If you have a mouse or Joystick plugged in the game 
will allow you to select your preferred input device. 

The default keys are as follows:

Key     Helicopter              

Up      Fly Forward             
Down    Fly Back                
Right   Turn Right              
Left    Turn Left               
'>'     Bank Right              
'<'     Bank Left               
Space   Fire Standard Weapon    
'M'     Fire Special Weapons    
CTRL	Lock Strafe

The Buggy, Skidoo and Hover Ship are not available on
this demo.

F1	Setup Menu
Escape	Exit to Menu

The DOS version supports analogue joysticks, Gravis 
Gamepad and Creative Blaster Gamepad.

The Windows95 version supports the above products and 
other DirectInput compatible devices. The appropriate 
Joystick driver for Windows95 (supplied by the 
manufacturer) must be installed and calibrated before 
starting SWIV 3D.

CDAudio
~~~~~~~
The audio soundtrack is a CD-A track and due to driver
limitations volume control is not available on all
machines.

Windows95 & DirectX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though Windows95 can have multiple tasks running,
more resources are used - to get the best performance
from SWIV 3D exit as many programs as possible, before
running the game.

Do not attempt to switch tasks when SWIV 3D is running as
this is not currently supported.

SWIV 3D makes use of the DirectX drivers for Windows95 
from Microsoft. However as this is relatively new 
technology drivers may not exist or be 100% compatible 
on your machine. If you experience problems we suggest 
you contact your hardware manufacturer who may have 
updated drivers or use the DOS version.

Enjoy!
