+	1. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+Intel Pentium 200 MMX PC (or 100% compatible CPU)
+DirectX supported 3D Accelerator Card
+DirectX v.6 (Included on Installation CD)
+32Mb RAM (64Mb reccommended)
+64Mb free Hard Drive 
+Windows 95
+
+
+The ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR Demo is a work in-progress. Thus it is not
+fully optimised and configured for lower spec machines. These issues
+will be corrected for the full retail version, giving the end user
+control over engine and special effect variables ensuring smooth
+gameplay over a wide variety of CPUs, accelerator cards and RAM.
+
+Due to the complexity of the ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR models, users with
+32Mb of RAM may experience some memory paging, especially when exiting
+the game and returning to Windows. These problems will be fixed for the
+release version of the game.
+
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+	2. DEMO OBJECTIVES
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+As the Predator, you must descend through an Alien-infested Atmosphere
+Processor to eliminate the Marines who are defending an APC at the base
+of the structure. Your weapons are Wrist-blades, Speargun and shoulder
+mounted Plasmacaster. You also possess an emergency medical kit.
+
+
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+	3. INSTALLATION
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR requires DirectX 6. This can be found within the 
+game's installation directory and you will be prompted to install it if
+it is not on your system when you install the Demo.
+
+To install the ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR Demo, double click on Setup.exe
+Follow the onscreen instructions.
+
+ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR dynamically streams FMV from your machine's 
+local hard-drive. This playback is greatly enhanced if the FMV files 
+are installed on a defragmented directory. We STRONGLY recommend 
+de-fragging your hard drive before installing ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR.
+
+To de-fragment your drive, either use the Windows95 accessory
+'Disk Defragmenter' or any other 3rd party defragmentation utility.
+
+Although the ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR Demo will work with other 
+Applications running in the background, for the best results it is
+recommended that you run the game as a stand-alone application 
+(with no other applications running).
+
+As well as avoiding possible conflicts from other applications, this 
+will also help prevent Windows from accessing the hard drive Virtual 
+Memory swap file, and affecting the speed and sound effects of the 
+game.
+
+***********************************************************************
+

+
+	5. PREDATOR EQUIPMENT
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+HEALTH
+
+Health is displayed as a vertical red bar on the left hand side of the
+screen. As the Predator is wounded, these digits are removed from the
+bottom up. When health is low, the Predator should use the MediComp.
+The Predator has no Health pick-ups in ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR.
+
+
+FIELD CHARGE
+
+All of the Predator's weapons and equipment run off the Predator's
+Field Charge, a general measure of power. This is displayed as a 
+vertical blue bar on the right hand side of the screen. The Predator 
+can find extremely limited amounts of Field Charge in the Demo.
+Field Charge is drained by a number of the Predator's abilities,
+which are listed below:
+
+Healing. The MediComp (q.v.) is expensive to run.
+Plasmacaster. This can drain however much is required.
+Cloaking. Both a chunk to enter cloak and a small permanent drain.
+
+
+CLOAKING
+
+The Predator has the ability to 'bend light' around itself. This can
+render it almost invisible under most lighting conditions unless it
+gives it's position away. Unfortunately, the Xenomorph species does
+not use light to detect it's prey, so cloaking is not effective.
+Whilst in cloak, the Predator sees the world differently as the
+light is processed for his vision.
+Entering cloak is costly for Field Charge.
+
+
+VISION MODES
+
+There are two vision modes available in this demo - Thermal and
+Electro-magnetic. Thermal vision shows up Humans as bright red and
+yellow heat sources, while the rest of the world is cold and blue.
+Electro-magnetic vision displays the Aliens clearly, whilst failing
+to pick up on the human targets. Some of the Predator's abilities 
+depend on picking the correct vision modes.
+
+
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+	6. PREDATOR WEAPONS
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+WRISTBLADES 	(slot 1)
+
+A set of lethal razor-sharp blades mounted on the Predator's right
+wrist. Use Primary Fire to perform a quick jab. Use Secondary Fire to
+pull back and charge up a high-powered swipe. The Predator may use the
+wristblades while cloaked.
+
+
+SPEARGUN 	(slot 3)
+
+A high-velocity harpoon-style weapon, this fires a jagged bolt of metal
+capable of ripping parts off the Predator's enemies. The extreme power
+is tempered by the slow rate-of-fire and the fact that Aliens can easily
+survive traumatic injuries. Ammunition is limited and the use of this
+weapon de-activates the Predator's cloaking.
+
+
+PLASMACASTER 	(slot 4)
+
+The Predator's most effective weapon is computer-controlled from the
+wrist console. It has it's own charge meter (found on the Wrist Console
+as a small red bar) which displays how much power is contained within 
+the blast. This can be charged either by Primary Fire and upon release
+the bolt is fired, or can have charge stored within it via the use of
+Secondary Fire.
+
+The Plasmacaster is fully auto-tracking, locking onto a target in
+seconds as long as it remains within view. The Plasmacaster can only
+target enemies if fired from the Predator's correct vision mode for
+that species.
+
+
+MEDICOMP 	(Slot 6)
+
+Not really a weapon, the MediComp is the Predator's only hope of
+regaining health while in combat. It is extremely expensive of
+Field Charge and takes some time to use, during which the Predator
+is effectively defenseless. It is therefore important to use it during
+lulls in combat.
+
+Primary fire begins the healing sequence.
+
+Secondary fire activates the Predator's fire-damping abilities should
+it unfortunately be caught by a flamethrower or incendiary. This is
+far less expensive than a full heal.
