* 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 ACABAL.BAT over the DOSBox icon to start
playing. Experienced DOSBox users may choose other methods of startup.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

Please DO NOT use acab-brw.bat to run the game! This is a special file for the
browser version of DOSBox and will not play Alien Cabal Shareware in the best
possible quality.

The software was configured and tested to work with the official DOSBox build
v0.74-3 available from www.dosbox.com. It may or may not work with any other
third-party DOSBox distributions that are available.

For playing instructions and other information, please refer to the electronic
manual (README.TXT) found in the ACABAL directory.
