MAGIC CANDY WORLD ***SHARWARE VERSION 1.1***
By CS-SOFTWARE 

Magic Candy World was initially designed and created as a multimedia CD-ROM
game.  We set our standards very high and desided to take full advantage of
all benefits the CD-ROM medium has to offer. Thus all videos would be full
screen and all sound fx and music would be in CD-Audio format.
When CS-SOFTWARE desided to release a shareware version of Magic Candy World,
sadly, the sound fx, music and videos could not be included as the total
package would be much too large to distribute via the internet.
You can obtain the full featured CD-ROM with all the fun sound fx, helpful
"talking Lincoln" animations, original music and full screen videos for
only $20-including shipping.


By Purchasing Magic Candy World for $20 you will receive,

*Full Featured Magic Candy World CD-ROM
     All the fun <<<Stereo>>> Sound FX
     Original music
     Helpful explanation animations featuring "talking Lincoln"
     Full screen videos (The "Magic Show")
*Free technical support
*Free updates

All for just $20USD (shipping included)

      NOTE: Remember to use the top left of the mouse cursor to choose
            the key on the keyboard. The lollipop may be mostly on one key
            but play the key to the left if the top left of the lollipop
            is not over the intended key.
      NOTE: The instruments of the MUSIC STUDIO are designed to play
            4 notes per second. Clicking rapidly (faster than 4 per second)
            may result in unexpected clicks in the audio. Notes do not

      on the missing objects. You can click on the object found in the
      left picture, or you can click on where the object is missing in
      the right picture. Remember to use the top left of the mouse cursor

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P. CAN'T HEAR ANY SOUND FX EXCEPT FOR INSTRUMENT SOUNDS AND CANNON SOUND.

S. When creating MAGIC CANDY WORLD, only the best would do. And so to achieve
   the highest quality most of the sound effects througout the game are CD
   audio, and thus could not be distributed via the internet.
   To obtain the MAGIC CANDY WORLD CD-ROM, including all the audio, and
   full screen videos please refer to the 'To Purchase Magic Candy World'
   section.

P. PROGRAM FREEZES UP.

S. This most often occurs when a sound card is installed but not all of
   it's drivers are properly installed. Make sure all SOUND BLASTER
   compatible drivers are installed to make use of the sound card, or
   make sure ALL sound card drivers are not installed to continue without
   sound. Try removing TSR's from memory (screen savers etc.) and make sure
   all open programs are closed.

P. TOOL BARS ARE CORRUPTED ON SCREEN

S. IF this happens, be sure to close all tool bars such as MS-OFFICE before
   running MAGIC CANDY WORLD.
