-About HypeRace
       HypeRace is an overhead racing game.  It features 32 color graphics.
    Each of the cars feature about 160 frames of animation.  If you are
    running the game on a machine with one megabyte of memory then Hyperace
    allows three cars on screen.  If it is running on machines with two
    megabytes of memory or more, Hyperace allows four cars on screen at once.
    Any of the cars can be human controlled. It was written using AMOS.

-Floppy Disk Users
   The disk "HR1:" is self booting so simply insert it into "DF0:" and
   reboot the system.  If you have a second drive insert "HR2:" into it.
   Otherwise disks will be requested by the game when needed.

-Hard Disk Installation
      Step1) Copy the HypeRace files to the a drawer of your choice.
      Step2) Open a shell window
      Step3) Type the following:
               cd s:
               ed startup-sequence
      Step4) Anywhere in the startup sequence type:
               assign hr1: <type the location of the game ie
                            HD0:games/hyperace/>
               assign hr2: <the same location as above>
      Step5) save the changes and exit ed.

      **** Important Note!! ****
         HypeRace requires a lot of memory to run.  If you only have one
      megabyte then you probably will not have enough memory to run HypeRace
      while workbench is running. Even if you have two megabytes you still
      might only have enough memory free to run the three car version.  It
      would be advised to use the disk based version.  This version does not
      open a workbench so all of your computer's memory can be used.
