                               HOW DOES IT WORK?
                               -----------------
         Append any of the standard .dat files to the interpreter file.
         (e.g. under DOS type "copy /b infgmb.bin+zork1.dat zork1.gmb")
         Then copy zork1.gmb to eprom or run it on one of de emulators.
    (e.g. under DOS use no$gmb (see homepage below) since it's MY emulator)
If you're using another emulator you may have to make sure that filesize is ok.

                                 JOYPAD CONTROL
                                 --------------
                  Button A = Append Char/Word to Input Buffer
                 Select = Toggle between char / word_on_screen
                  Start+Up = Doskey Function (previous inputs)
                Start+Down = Fkey Function (predefined commands)
                       Start+Left/Right = Backspace/Space
                              Button B = Enter Key

                               MEMORY PERFORMANCE
                               ------------------
   The gameboy has 8K RAM plus 8K video RAM included. Therefore it should be
 impossible to run infocom.dat files on it. Should be, but I made it possible.
  And not enough: I added three saving slots, too. Therefore I fit actual game
   position + stack + internal variables + three save game positions + video
                           display data into 16K RAM. Hah!
 When external RAM is present it is used for some more saving slots, note that
  these slots are generally battery bufferd, other than slot 1-3. The maximum
           used external RAM size is 8K, offering 4 additional slots.

                           WHAT GAMES ARE SUPPORTED?
                           -------------------------
