* Note for DOSBox users *

This software is fully installed and configured to run in the DOSBox emulator.
You can simply drag and drop the file FCONF.BAT over the DOSBox icon to start
playing. Experienced DOSBox users may choose other methods of startup.

For playing instructions and other information, please refer to the electronic
manual (FC.DOC) found in the FC directory.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

Future Conflict requires DOSBox to set EMS emulation to EMM386 for the Sound
Blaster sound effects to work properly. EMM386 emulation is not supported in
the official DOSBox build v0.74-3 available from www.dosbox.com.

Future Conflict will likely crash if you use this version of DOSBox.

You will need a newer SVN build of DOSBox (based on updated code from the
official repository) that enables EMM386 emulation. This build is available
from the DOSBox ECE website (please scroll down to the bottom of the page):

https://dosboxece.yesterplay.net/

If you use the supplied FCONF.BAT file to start the game, it will switch to
EMM386 emulation automatically, but you can also change this setting manually:

Open your DOSBox SVN configuration file in a text editor of your choice and
find the following line:

ems=true

Change this to:

ems=emm386

Save and close the configuration file.

Note that other games might not need EMM386 or not support it, so you'll need
to revert to the default ems setting manually.

However, if you use the FCONF.BAT method, DOSBox will only switch to EMM386
for the duration of playing Future Conflict.

This distribution of Future Conflict may or may not work with other
third-party DOSBox versions that are available.
