             Formula One Challenge disk operation instructions
             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Formula One Challenge uses the standard AMOS file requester for disk
 operations so if you are used to AMOS or AMOS programs then you should have
 no problems with the rather quirky AMOS file requester.

 Clicking the right mouse button while the disk is not being accessed will
 display a number of device names (ie C: , Formula-One-Challenge: , L: etc.)
 clicking on one of these device names with the left button will give you a 
 directory of that device.

 Saving
 ~~~~~~

 All F1C (Abbreviation for `Formula One Challenge`) saved games are saved with
 a .FO extension after the file name , this is so you can easily find your
 F1C saved games on any disk. If you forget to add this youself then it will
 automatically be added.

 Do not save on the original F1C disk , but on any formatted disk that does
 not contain important data. It would be a good idea if before you start
 playing F1C you format a blank disk and then save all of your F1C games onto
 this disk.
 (For instructions on how to format a disk see your Introduction to the Amiga
  manual supplied with your computer.)

 ** After saving a F1C game , replace the original F1C disk in DF0: otherwise
    you may encounter problems at a later stage.

 Here is a detailed list of how to save your postion in F1C.


 1) Format a disk for your saved games using Cli/Shell , Workbench or
    a formatting utility (See your AmigaDos manual for more details).

 2) Play F1C until you wish to save , click on Load/Save off menu , click
    on save and wait for a full list of the original F1C disk to be
    displayed and for the disk drive to stop.

 3) Swap disks if necessary and insert your blank (newly formatted) disk.
    Wait a couple of seconds while the disk is checked by the computer.

 4) Click the RIGHT mouse button to display a list of devices (ie. C: , DEVS:
    , Libs: , Formula-One-Challenge:. One of the things in the list should
    be the name of your blank disk ie. (Empty: , Blank: or whatever you
    called the disk when you formatted it.)

 5) Click the LEFT mouse button on the name of your blank disk and wait
    a couple of seconds for a list of the files on the disk to be displayed
    (will probably be empty , but may contain something called TRASHCAN).

 6) Click on Game1.FO at the bottom of the requester with the left mouse
    button and enter a name for your saved game. Then click left button
    on O.K and your game will be saved to the blank disk.

 7) You will be returned to the main menu when the game has saved.

 8) When the disk drive light goes out , swap disks if necessary and
    replace the Original F1C disk.



 Loading
 ~~~~~~~

 You should load all saved games from a disk other than your original F1C disk
 and remember that all F1C games have a `.FO` extension to the name so they
 are easily indentifable.

 ** Loading is similar to Saving , so please read the detailed saving
    instructions above.

 ** After loading a F1C game , replace the original F1C disk in DF0: otherwise
    you may encounter problems at a later stage.
