(e.g. "C:\Program Files\Handheld Quake"), place there the downloaded game
distribution file and launch it.  After that click "Install" button.  The
game will be placed into the current folder.  You can delete the 
distribution file or move it onto a backup drive.

You are ready to launch it now!

2. LAUNCH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can create a shortcut to "HandheldQuake.exe" on your desktop to make 
the launch more convenient.  Alternatively click the "Start" button and
choose "Run...".  Browse to "HandheldQuake.exe" and click "OK".

Here it will launch!

At first start the programme creates "Base\HQConfig.cfg", a configuration 
file with default settings.  After the welcome screen you will see the main 
menu.  On your screen you will see "Select game" and the following buttons:

  1. "Quit" - click it if you want to leave the game.  Before exit the
     programme will enquire if you really want to quit/ Answer "Yes" if you
     really want to leave the game or "No" to get back to the main menu.
  2. "Settings" - click this button to change current settings such as
     "Graphics", "Sound", "Controls" and more.  See "Parameters setting"
     section below.
  3. "Random" - if you are not sure which game to play, this button will
     help you.  A random game will start.
  4. "Play" - click to play the game currently selected.
  5. "Information" - brief information about the selected handheld.
  6. "Instructions" - provides you with instructions to play the current 
     game.
  7. "View" - switches between "Icons" and "Details" view modes.  With
     "Icons" each handheld is represented by an icon, with "Details" it
     is shown as a line of text with some additional data.

In the centre of the screen there will be a list of games available.  
Click any to select. Then click "Play".

When playing the following buttons are available:

  1. "Back" - get back to the main menu.
  2. "Game A" and "Game B" - same as buttons on the handheld.  Start the
     game.
  3. "Pause" - pauses the game. Click it again to continue.  You can also
     use the "Pause" key on your keyboard.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. PARAMETERS SETTING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To set the parameters of "Handheld Quake" click "Settings" in the main 
menu.  You will see a menu with the following sub-menus:

  1. "Graphics" - allows you to change graphics settings.  You can select
     the necessary video mode, colour depth and full-screen mode.  You can
     use "Fastest", "Fast", "Normal", and "High Quality" pre-sets to 
     quickly change the settings.  After having set the necessary 
     parameters click "Apply" if you want to accept the changes or "Back"
     to cancel them.

  2. "Sound" - takes you the menu where you can change sound settings.
     You can change the volume and turn game and menu sound on an off.

  3. "Controls" - associate keys on your keyboard with the virtual buttons
     of a handheld.  Click the button you want to change and press the
     desired key sequence or ESC to cancel.

  4. "Advanced" - here you can change some special settings needed by 
     advanced users, beta-testers, and cheaters.

     - Show Frames per Second - if this parameter is on, the upper left
       corner will show the frames per second rate of you video adapter.
       On by default.
     
     - High Quality Scaling - increases the quality of pictures (buttons
       and games pictures) but slows down initial loading.  On by default.

     - Synchronise Each Frame - if on, the programme will wait for the 
       ray's back swing before visualising each frame.  Not applicable to 
       full-screen mode.  On by default.

     - Use System Time - if on, all handhelds simulated by the programme
       will use the time set in Windows.  Off by default.

     - Cheat Mode - this setting makes available two additional game modes
       needed by cheaters (see below).  Off by default.
    
     - God Mode - unlimited lives.  Off by default.

     - Autoplay Mode - the game will play on its own.  The player only
       needs to choose the game mode (Game A or Game B buttons) and
       the programme will itself guide the game character.  When combined
       with god mode, it is sure to get to the highest possible result 
       sooner or later.  Off by default.

  5. "Languages" - change current language.  English is the default one.
     You can download more languages (Russia, Italian and others) from
     our web-site.

Click "Back" to get back to the main menu.
