Notes for the 286 version of Angband 2.7.9v3 (1/24/96):

        First of all, the executable is built using overlays, since the
        amount of code and data together would not fit into a 640K.
        Therefore, it helps to have lots of conventional memory
        available, since this should help speed the game up.

        However, the overlay algorithm will use XMS or EMS memory to
        hold code not currently running.  If your computer has XMS or
        EMS, enable it!  The game will run much faster.

        If you've played Angband 2.7.x on other systems, you might find
        a few features missing from this version.  This was unavoidable
        since the game with the entire feature set wouldn't run on a
        standard 16-bit DOS machine.  The most noticeable lack will
        probably be monster descriptions.  Other were also disabled to
        save memory.  Perhaps in a later version some can be re-enabled.

Installation:

        You *must* unzip using PKUNZIP's -d switch to preserve the
	directory structure.

        The first time the game is run (and each time you upgrade to a
	new version), it creates raw data files (in "lib\data\") from
	the textual template data (in "lib\edit\").  This may take a
	few minutes on slower machines, so be patient.

        Note that if you change certain options, including the "roguelike
	commands" option, and any "visual display" options, you must then
	use the "redraw screen" command (^R) to activate the changes.

There are no warranties what-so-ever.  If it breaks, you have two pieces.
