1.System requirements:
	MOBILITY has the following system requirements
	  * Windows95 or Windows98.
	  * approx. 70 MB free hard disk space,
	  * 48 MB RAM
	  * Microsoft(R) DirectX(R) 6.1 or higher
	  * Microsoft DirectX(R) Media 6.0,
	  * Graphics card 
		* with DirectX6.1-capable drivers
		* Resolution 800x600 or 640x480
		* 64,000/32,000 or 16-bit color
	  * Sound card (optional)
	Due to the complex mathematical model used, game speed can 
	slow down for larger cities.  Game speed can be increased again by switching 
	MOBILITY screen resolution to 640x480 and by switching off the sound.
2. Screen remains black / error message from DirectX
	The game uses DirectX6.1 to switch the graphics card from the set resolution 
	to 800x600 and 64,000 colors (16-bit color). This is reset to its original 
	value after the game. The automatic graphics resolution switching does not 
	always operate correctly with certain graphics cards-especially on laptops. 
	In such a case, manually switch the graphics card to a resolution of 800x600 
	and 64,000 colors (16-bit color).
	(Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/Settings)
	Then start the program "MOBILITY (Window 64,000 colors)" instead of "Mobility.exe".

	If you have not set the correct monitor, or have not set any monitor, under 
	(Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/Settings "Display), DirectX6.1 may 	
	not be able to automatically change the screen resolution.

	Setup your computer correctly by selecting the connected monitor. 
	These drivers are delivered with your monitor or can be found on the Windows CD.

3. Windows NT
	MOBILITY now runs as Beta for Windows NT4.0.
	You need the Microsft WindowsNT Service Pack 5.0 or higher.
	Sound/video is not available for WindowsNT4.0
	
4. MS-DOS / Windows 3.x
	MOBILITY does not run under MS-DOS or Windows 3.x.
