DirectX foundation 5.0
----------------------

Location on the CD: \DX5

Contents: Microsoft DirectX components and drivers.

This component may not be available in a demo version of Armor Command.

This component is required. If you don't have it previously installed in
your machine, you must install it in order for Armor Command to work
properly.

During installation, a dialog might pop up asking for the location of a
certain required file, usually located on your Windows 95 CD. If this
happens, the Armor Command installation CD should never be removed from
the drive, or the DirectX installation will hang the computer.

If the required files are located on another CD, the best workaround is
to manually install DirectX foundation by using the following steps:

1)	Copy the DirectX setup files to your hard drive. This can be done by
	running Windows Explorer and dragging the 'DX5' directory from the CD
	(usually the D: drive) to your C: drive.

2)	Run the program called 'dxsetup.exe', located in the 'DX5\directx'
	directory.

3)	Insert the CD with the required files when prompted. The installation
	should proceed normally now.

4)	Delete the files that you copied to the hard drive.


DirectX media 5.1
-----------------

Location on the CD: \AMovie

Contents: Microsoft DirectShow, and updates to Microsoft DirectPlay.

This component may not be available in a demo version of Armor Command.

This component is recommended, but not required. Armor Command will work
properly without it, but you won't be able to view any of the rendered
cut-scenes of the game.
