Notes:

Klondike 2.2 runs on an IBM-PC or compatible running under MS-DOS 2.0 or greater, with an EGA/VGA monitor and display adapter (it should run on an 8514 display adapter, but this was not tested).

A Microsoft-compatible mouse is strongly recommended, but the game can be played from the keyboard. If you want to use the mouse, the mouse driver must be installed before you load Klondike; please refer to your mouse documentation for instructions.

If you are running Klondike from a hard disk, make sure that klondike.exe and the *.scr files are on the current directory.

A note on compatibility: Unfortunately, not all mouse drivers and VGA systems were created equal. Klondike 2.2 runs without problems using the Microsoft mouse driver version 6.00 or greater; if you are using an older version you should get an upgrade, or use the -nomouse option and play using the keyboard.

A few users with VGA systems reported some problems, but so far I haven't been able to duplicate them. Klondike 2.2 was tested on an IBM PS/2 with the 8513 VGA monitor, and no problems were found

Finally, Klondike 2.2 is NOT DesqView aware. Later versions should have this feature, but, for now, avoid running Klondike on a DesqView window.
