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

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
ROTTHELP.TXT file found in the ROTT directory.
==============================================================================
* Note on the use of DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender *

This product uses DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender technology.

Copyright (C) 1996-2006 by Narech K. All rights reserved.

DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender is used instead of the standard DOS/4GW extender
shipped with Rise of the Triad Shareware to improve stability and performance
in DOSBox.

DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender is free software. Please see the LICENSE file in
the ROTT directory for license details.
==============================================================================
* Note on the LaserSoft Deluxe levels *

In 1995, a special shareware CD version of Rise of the Triad: The HUNT Begins
was sold by video game distributor LaserSoft, with a total of six extra levels
(three single-player and three multiplayer maps) exclusive to that release.

All the new levels were created by Tom Hall.

In October 1999, 3D Realms released these extra levels as a free download that
can be used both with the shareware and the registered version of the game.

In this distribution of Rise of the Triad Shareware, the additional levels are
enabled by default.

For more information, please refer to the readme.txt file found in the ROTT
directory.
==============================================================================
* Source ports *

This game can also be played natively (no DOSBox required) on Windows, MacOS,
Linux and other modern platforms using one of the source ports.

NOTE: You can download high quality music packs for Rise of the Triad to be

hardware for which the soundtrack was originally written:
