Running Redneck under Win 95/98
	
	I found a post back in March by the "Crashmaster" which 
	described how to run RR from Windows if you have 32 meg 
	of ram. It works great on all my dos games but Nascar 
	and Nascar2,I can network my pc to buddy in local calling
	range through dial up networking(1 pc must have Plus) and 
	play multi and it works on a Lan.Forget dealing with Dos
	and messing with modem init strings to try to fill buddy 
	with lead.If you just play by yourself this will keep
	you from having to reboot all the time and probably run 
	smoother.In order for the shortcut we are going to make 
	work we need to rem some lines in your startup files and 
	add 2 lines to your sys.ini. If you presently use dos mode 
	to run dos applications we will need to make another short-
	cut to reboot to the same configuration as we wont be 
	loading any memory managers or cd drivers in your startup
	files.
DISCLAIMER
I dont know if this will work for everybody but haveyet to see it fail.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK/PROVIDED AS IS

	Step 1
	Open your config.sys file in an editor(sysedit,dos editor) and
	make the following changes:
	If HIMEM is being loaded place remspace "rem " in front of line
	so pc will ignore it. 
	If EMM386 is being loaded also rem it out
	If it has a bunch of numbers at the end of it you might want to 
	see what device in system is claiming a piece of memory.
 	Probably in older video card,3d cards really inexpensive now(hint).
       	If there are any lines relating to your CD rem them out,if 
	after rebooting your PC doesnt recognize CD then you will need to
	remove the rem and a space at beginning of line.
        Save changes(You did make a backup didnt you?) and open your 
	autoexec.bat file.
	Again you need to rem out your cd related lines.
	Save changes and open your system.ini file.
	Locate the section called [vcache] and add these 2 lines
	MinFileCache=2048
	MaxFileCache=2048
	This was noted as optional for RR but nessacary for Quake or Quake2.
	Save changes and reboot system and test your windows based stuff.
	Dont try any Dos stuff yet.
	If all is well with PC now we need to make a shortcut to game.
	I made my shortcut to the setup.exe file because most of the time 
	I am choosing a user level or playing a network game,if I choose to
	play the regular game I can just launch game from there.If you want 
	to make shortcut to RR.exe it is up to you.
  	Step 2
	R Click on desktop and choose new/shortcut
	place path of file you want(setup or RR)in box and click on next.
	Give it a name and finish,now r click on shortcut and choose properties.
	Set the options on the Tabs as follows.
	Properties Tab
	set(check) the close on exit box
	click on advanced button,set the "Prevent MS-DOS based programs from
  	detecting windows" option button,Clear the other options.
	Click OK
	Font Tab
	set the bitmap only option.
	Memory Tab
	Set Conventional memory to Auto,set initial enviroment to auto.
	Set expanded memory to none,set extended memory to none.
	Set DPMI memory to 12288,this can adjusted up or down a notch to suit.
	Screen Tab
	Set usage to full screen,set the fast ROM emulation button.
	Clear (uncheck) the Dynamic memory allocation option.
	Misc Tab
	Clear the allow screen saver option.
	Clear the "allways suspend" button
	Set Idle sensitivity to low
	Clear th Quick edit option.
	Set mouse to exclusive mode.
	Leave Warn if still active on
	Clear "Fast Pasting" option
	Disable the win shortcuts you dont want.
	
	You should be ready to run the game now, If you want to set up a shortcut
	so you can reboot to a dos setup(ie the files as they were before we 
	touched them providing that your stuff worked) make another shortcut to
	the command .com file in windows folder.
	This time in the properties Tab/Advanced button/   choose Ms-Dos mode
	and set the specific dos configuration button
	Then place the lines of your auto and config files in the boxes below.
 	Now when you D click that icon you will reboot to Dos,when you want to
	go back to windows type exit.This works good because if your dos application
	locks up when you reset it reboots to dos thus saving about 6 minutes nowadays.

	Networking
	If you have a Lan all you need after all pcs run redneck under windows is
	IPX adapter loaded on each machine,then launch network game from setup menu.
	If using 2 win 95 pcs over modem 1 pc must have Plus so it can be a
	Dial Up Server,Then connect using PPP server type.
	Make sure you have IPX adapter loaded in Control Panel/Network/connection Tab.
	If you get pcs networked (If you need help borrow a win 95 help manual to 
	step you through getting win95 network up).
	Then go to modems in control panel,
	click on propeties of your modem , Connection tab and goto port settings 
	and set the buffers to low.then go to advanced button and turn off flow 
	control and error correction. These will need to be put back when you 
	go surfing but game likes it better this way.

	 That should do it ,if you arent comfortable editing system files then
	get a computer nerd to assist you.
