 Keyboard Mapping
 This option allows you to customize the controls for TekWar.

 Audio Setup
 This option  executes the audio configuration program. This program allows
 you to select your audio output device and test it for compatibility. 

 Sound Notes:
 Select the sound card that is most compatible with your own. If you have a
 generic card, select a SoundBlaster 8 bit card and move down the list until
 you find a card that does not work.  Then go back to the previous selection. 

 CD Music Controls
 Once in the game, use the following controls for CD Quality Music:

 Alt-P Play
 Alt-S Stop
 Alt-R Reset
 Alt-F Advance Track
 Alt-B Reverse Track

 Video Mode 
 TekWar supports several video modes. NOTE: The 640x480 video mode requires
 a 512 K Vesa compatible video card. If you do not have a VESA driver loaded
 the game will display the message VANILLA VGA after the intro. has been 
 played. YOU MUST AT THIS POINT EXIT TO DOS VIA THE ESC KEY FOLLOWED BY A Y
 AND THEN LOAD A VESA DRIVER. If you have a VESA driver loaded, it will 
 display the message VESA VGA. If your screen at any point goes black, yet 
 you can still here the music, it is a video driver conflict.

 What is a VESA driver and how do I get one?
 VESA is a standard for programming SVGA cards. For most systems, it requires
 that a "VESA driver" be loaded on your system before using any of the high
 resolution SVGA modes. Each SVGA card requires a custom VESA driver which is
 usually shipped with your card. If you do not have a VESA driver for your
 video card, refer to the \TEKWAR\VESA directory on the CD and type DETECT.
 This will tell you what video card you have and you then must type the 
 appropriate driver from within that directory. 

 Communications
 TekWar supports  one active, 2-16 player game on a LAN, and one head to head
 modem game at 9600 baud rate or better. An  IPX or compatible network driver
 is required for the network game. Make sure to set Communications to IPX
 if you want to play network play; Also choose the correct number of
 participating players.

 MODEM PLAY
 You must turn data compression off in your init string for your modem.
 For some modems append "%C0" to the init string.  Others, such as USR
 modems, use "&K0".  A few examples follow:

        non U.S. Robotics: AT&F&C1&D2%C0
        U.S. Robotics:     AT&F&C1&D2&K0

 To begin a modem play game type "modem" from the Tekwar DOS prompt.
 One computer must select "dial" and type in the phone number and the
 other computer should select "answer".  Once both computers are connected
 you may type messages to each other to decide which game to play.  Press 
 F10 to start the game.

 Some modems will not work with 14400 as the baud rate.  If you have
 14400 selected as the baud rate and your modem is not responding with
 "OK" once the init string is sent to it try 9600 or 19200.

 The answer command for most modems is "ATS0=1".  This only needs to be
 typed in for the modem that is answering.

 The dial command for most modems is "ATDT".  This only needs to be typed
 in for the modem that is dialing.

 Manual
 This option browses the MANUAL.TXT file.

 How do I make TekWar run faster?
 1) Set your screen resolution to 320x200.

 2) Minimize screen using the - (minus) key while the auto map is off.

 3) Turn off uneeded displays such as the health meter or rear view display.

 A City in Turmoil...
 The year is 2045. The place is the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area
 (GLAMA). The threat: Tek. The most psychoactive mind alterant ever devised
 by the human mind is peddled daily on the streets of the inner city. This
 trade resists all efforts by the poorly funded local authorities to halt its
 distribution, and it brings in enormous wealth for those in control: the
 TekLords. The mafia kingpins of the 21st century, the TekLords have divided
 the city into seven boroughs to minimize infighting and maximize their profit. 

 A New Threat...
 Recently, an informant within the organization of TekLord Sonny Hokori, the
 most powerful TekLord in the city, has come forth with a story too
 frightening to ignore. He swears that the TekLords have put aside their
 differences to increase the level of Tek addiction to disastrous proportions.
 Their vehicle: the Matrix. Nicholi Petrovski, a noted cyberbiologist and
 Miyoshi Nakahara, a Nobel prize winning cyberneticist have mysteriously
 disappeared. It is believed that their skills are being used by the TekLords
 to develop  a means to distribute Tek across the Matrix. This would addict
 the hundreds of thousands of people who use the Matrix in their daily
 business; and once the flow of Tek on the Matrix is stopped, these addicts
 will rely on the TekLord Consortium in the physical world to get their fix. 

 Recently Thawed....
 Who will save the city from this enslavement? You will. An ex-cop framed for
 dealing Tek, you have spent the last five years in cryogenic suspension in an
 orbiting prison platform called "the Freezer". When you return to earth you
 discover that you have been granted a 'special parole' on the condition that
 you work for Walter Bascom, head of the Cosmos Detective agency. You must
 investigate the efforts of the TekLords to use the Matrix and find a way to
 stop them. If you succeed, thousands of  innocents escape the mind-ravaging
 effects of Tek. If you fail, the addiction spreads, but you won't see that in
 the freezer...

 The Matrix

 The Matrix is a virtual landscape comprised of all networked electronic
 communication systems. Across this abstracted terrain, a digitized humanity
 flows and conducts daily tasks. Individuals and mega-corporations participate
 side by side in a virtual marketplace, trading each and every second the most
 volatile and precious of commodities: information. 

 Place Matrix Symbol Keys by pressing the space bar.

 Weapons
 
 Kralov CEG-15 Stunner
 This pistol fires a ball of highly charged particles that will short out its
 targets nervous system and render them unconscious for a short period of
 time.  

 C&W Model 2040
 This semiautomatic pistol fires caseless rounds. It is the choice weapon of
 most TekGoons, so scavenged clips will serve to reload. 

 Shrike DBK
 This weapon fires energy rounds that expand on impact, violently ripping its
 target to pieces. This weapon must be recharged at an energy outlet. 

 Orlow 34s
 An aggressive upgrade from the Shrike DBK, the Orlow 34s is a semiautomatic
 energy round weapon. Like the Shrike, it must be recharged at an energy
 outlet.  

 EMP Pistol
 This pistol fires an electromagnetic pulse designed to stun androids. It must
 be recharged. 

 Force Charge
 A cannister of liquid plastic explosive equipped with a kinetic detonator.
 This weapon is thrown and explodes on impact. 

 Flamethrower 
 This rifle fires long gouts of a volatile chemical mixture that bursts into
 flame on contact with air. The fluid also has a glutinous consistency,
 causing it to stick to its target and inflict horrendous burn damage. This
 weapon requires fuel canisters to reload. 

 Rocket Launcher
 This shoulder-mounted weapon fires short range rockets that explode on
 impact, obliterating its target and much of the surrounding infrastructure as
 well. Originally designed as heat-seekers for aircraft, the targeting acuity
 of these rockets has been increased to track a human target. 


 Characters and Enemies

 Civilians
     
 Though accustomed to living in a dangerous world of urban violence, the
 hardened citizens of GLA  want only to stay clear of all TekLord-Police
 altercations and continue their business with some feigned degree of
 normality.

 Cops
 
 Losing the war against Tek, the GLA Police Force finds itself hopelessly
 outmanned and utterly outgunned. Seeing their uniformed comrades shot down
 day after day in the line of duty has embittered them and instilled within
 them a deep hatred for Tek, the Tek Lords, and especially those 'Rogue' cops
 that leave to work for the Consortium.

 Kamikaze Androids
 These mechanized assassins home in on their programmed targets and attempt to
 touch them. Their tactile detonators cause them to explode on contact. These
 androids can appear as Civilians, Cops or TekGoons, and are notoriously
 difficult to damage with conventional weaponry. 
 
 TekGoons
 The wealth and power of the Tek Consortium allows it to hire agents superior
 to the GLA Police Force in both armament and number. These loyal soldiers
 serve as the arms of the TekLords, doing the 'dirty work' associated with
 organized crime. They carry a varied assortment of weapons and guises,
 allowing them to infiltrate all aspects of city life and quickly terminate
 any threats to the boroughs. 

 The TekGoons are ruthless; their willingness to fire on civilians has numbed
 the populace of GLA into submission, and  detracted much support for the
 local authorities. As a result., the average citizen relies on TekGoon favor
 as much as the GLAPD to stay out of harm's way. 

 TekLords

 The real power in GLA, these local warlords control the distribution of Tek,
 the most addictive psychoactive drug created. As the local authorities fail
 miserably to slow the trade of Tek, the TekLord Consortium increases its area
 of control and makes plans to harness the power of the Matrix to spread Tek
 addiction to the entire world.

                   Sonny Hokuri

 As the most powerful member of the TekLord Consortium, Sonny Hokuri is the
 major force behind the plan to distribute Tek through the Matrix.
