                      Welcome to 

          "Space Quest 5: The Next Mutation"


Thank you for purchasing Space Quest 5.  We hope you have
as much fun playing it as we had creating it!

This file contains the most up-to-date information about
the version of the game you're currently playing.  To be
more specific:

1. If your computer is close to the minimum "free memory"
   to run this game, you may experience slowdowns in some
   areas or receive the error message "Out of Hunk".  If
   this occurs, try running the game from a boot disk as
   described in your Sierra Game manual.  (To check free
   memory, type "chkdsk" from DOS.  If the "bytes free"
   number reported is less than 574,800, you may need
   to use a boot disk.)

2. Our INSTALL program is unable to "auto-magically"
   detect whether or not you have a Creative Music System
   GameBlaster Card in your computer.  If you have one,
   go ahead and select it yourself.  (Who says computers
   are smarter than you?!)

3. Sometimes INSTALL will report that you have the Disney
   DAC.  If you don't have it, just don't choose it!

4. If you select the General MIDI sound driver and your 
   MIDI sound device is NOT hooked up, the game will not 
   function properly and you will have to reboot your   
   computer.  Please be sure that your MIDI device (or  
   any device you select during INSTALL) is properly    
   hooked up before you begin the game.

5. The Galactic Inquirer that came in your game box contains
   some important (and some just plain funny) information,
	including a map of the galaxy. Be sure not to throw 
   this documentation out!

6. You may experience problems running on a system with 
   STACKER or SUPERSTOR loaded, especially when using sounds. 
	If you do have problems, try loading the game on the
	standard DOS partition instead of the STACKER or SUPERSTOR
	partition. If you still experience difficulties, try 
	running without sound support.

7. If you experience problems running with a Pro-Audio 
   Spectrum sound card, make sure the parameters in your 
	device statement in your config.sys file are correct. 
	If they are and you still are having difficulties try
	selecting SoundBlaster as your sound driver instead of
	the Pro-Audio Spectrum.
