*** QUICK, EASY INSTRUCTIONS ON RUNNING THE ZURK GAMES ***
Using David Keil's Excellent TRS-80 Model 3/4 Emulator

First, I hope you have a Pentium computer of 90mhz speed or faster.
 The Emulator needs it to run! 166Mhz is reccommended!
I assume you are running DOS, Windows 95, 98 or XP.

1: Create a directory on your computer called C:\TRSEMU
   The easiest way is to get to the prompt:
   Click the START menu/programs/MS-DOS prompt. You'll see
   C:\WINDOWS    type in
   CD  C:\ and the ENTER key. You'll see just C:\ from there,
   type MD TRSEMU and ENTER again.

2: Copy the file trs80-62.zip to that directory. Its very inportant
   that it is in C:\TRSEMU and nowhere else - no sub-directories 
   or anything. (Actually, it will work anywhere, but here makes
   it easier in referencing where the files are.)

3: Unzip it into that directory. Be careful - some un-zip programs
   try to make a sub directory like C:\trsemu\trsemu  We don't
   want that!! Just C:\trsemu

4: Now, if you're not already at the prompt, click start/programs/
   MS-DOS Prompt again. See the C:\WIndows prompt. Now, type
   CD C:\TRSEMU where you unzipped it. Now for the emulator to 
   work, you MUST be in full screen. If you have just a little
   black window on your desktop, tap ALT and ENTER at the same
   time. This flips between full screen and window. All you
   should see now is the whole screen black with
   C:\TRSEMU at the bottom left. 

5: Now enter the word DIR - you should see 17 files listed. If 
   not, go back to step 1 above! This is very important! Its
   16 emulator files and the zip file.

   b) At this point you should copy a ZURK disk image into
      the c:\trsemu directory. We will use the zurk14b.dsk
      in this example. It contains the first four games.

6: Now type TRS80 and ENTER. You'll see a screen pop up with the
   word Diskette? near the top. That's because we haven't loaded
   a "virtual" floppy yet. Do this:

7: Tap the F9 function key. This brings up a screen that shows a
   really neat display of fake floppy drives. (By the way, this is
   pretty much how the real ones looked!) Notice how drive 0 is
   hi-lighted in white. This is the one we will use.

8: Tap the ENTER key and you will see a blue window pop up. See
   where it says zurk14b.dsk? That's a file that simulates one
   of those old, crappy 5.25 floppies!!

9: Use the keyboard ARROW keys to hilight zurk14b.dsk
   Press ENTER and it goes back to the disk drive screen. Notice
   how zurk14b.dsk now appears inside the fake drive. What you
   just did is exactly the same as the old days when we inserted
   the disk into the drive bay. Neat, huh?

10: Press F9 key again to exit drive screen. It may boot right
    away but if not, tap the CTRL key and F10 at the same time.
    You'll do this a lot. It "boots" the fake disk as if loading
    into the TRS80. (In the old days there was an ORANGE reset
    button on the keyboard. CTRL+F10 simulates this button.)

11: You'll see a nifty screen pop up - the intro screen to the
    TRS80. It shows a little graphic of a computer, and may ask
    for the date. Not important - type in any date in the form:
    07/30/06   or any date you like.

12: The zurk games are made to auto-load at this point,
    or anytime you tap the ctrl+F10 keys to re-boot. If
    you want, you can press and hold ENTER right after
    the ctrl+F10 reboot to stop the AUTO FUNCTION ENGAGED
    message, and get to the TRSDOS prompt. This is for
    users who wish to play with the emulator.

13: For now, we will assume auto-load. The words
    AUTO FUNCTION ENGAGED wil appear, and maybe a
    message like BASIC -F:2V or similar. This is
    because some games were too big to compile and
    must run directly from the built-in BASIC
    language. 

14: The emulator simulates real-time and these old disks
    were a little slow, so it will take about 10 seconds
    or so to load the program. Start playing and have fun!

    b) Zurk 1-4 will have a menu choice:
       "Which Zurk do you want to play?" Choose one.
       Zurk 5 and above load right into the game.

15: Remember that all my old programs required CAPITOL letters
    to type stuff in. It won't work if you type SMALL case  
    letters. So if you are in smallcase, tap the CapsLock key
    near the left of your keyboard. Have fun!

-You can re-boot the emulator at anytime by tapping the CTRL+F10
 keys.

-To exit the emulator, tap SHIFT and F10

-To leave the c:\trsemu prompt and get back to windows
 if you're using windows which I assume, just type EXIT

-ZURK 1 to 4 had no SAVE and LOAD feature, however! The emulator
 has a neat feature that the old Model III did not! You can save
 a place anytime while playing by tapping the F7 key.
 You will see a small blue screen. Enter a savegame name, like
 maybe Z1SAV and press enter. This is REALLY a nice feature!

 When you run the emulator again and wish to take up the game
 where you left off, just tap SHIFT and F7. Again the blue
 screen appears and you must remember your savegame name,
 like Z1SAV or whatever. Type that in and it will take you right
 back to where you left off.

-Don't worry though, Zurk5 and above have a built-in savegame
 feature by typing SAVE and LOAD.

-Any questions, ask me! Have fun!! Let me know how you like
 the world of ZURK.             -Dr. Dungeon
