@e1)  NEW INSTALLATION:@e  

This is for a new installation of Black Knight where it
presently does not reside on the hard drive.  Black Knight is a DOS game and
it must be played in the DOS environment.  To install Black Knight, follow 
these steps:

        1)  If you are using WIN 3.1x, exit from windows.  Do not select 
            the MS-DOS icon.  
            If you are using WIN 95, you must do a shut down and restart 
            the computer in DOS mode.  Do not select the DOS icon.
        2)  Make sure your Caps Lock light is turned off.
        3)  Place the Black Knight CD-ROM in your CD drive.
        4)  Place the 3 1/2" floppy in drive a (or b).
        5)  At the DOS prompt, type @ea:\install@e (or b:\install) and press 
            the enter key.  The installation program will begin.  Follow 
            the installation prompts.
        6)  Follow the prompts for setting up the Sound and Music drives.  
            Select "SoundBlaster Clone" for Sound and select SoundBlaster" 
            or Compatible" for Music.  This is a good starting point for
            most sound cards.

@EManual Errata:

a)  Page 16 of manual is incorrect...

    Castle switch up on Suncom should be to select radar scan range... This 
    is also how the CH Products support is implemented.

b)  Some of Page 17 in manual is now obsolete...

    Correction to page 17: Button's 3 and 4 of a 4-button joysticks should be:

    Button 3.......Fire Flare
    Button 4.......Fire Chaff
