CONTENTS
Girlfriend is an artificial intelligence game.  When you finish installation,
you will have a girl living inside your computer.  You will be able to talk to
her and she will respond to your statements, questions, and commands.

This is a limited version of the game, called GIRLFRIEND LIZ(tm).  It is rated 
"G" or "All Audiences".  This version does not have the speech output that is
available in the unlimited versions.  It also does not have full motion,
whereas some of the newer unlimited versions have this feature.  The girl in
this version is the same one as is featured in GIRLFRIEND LISA(tm).  If you
like her, order GIRLFRIEND LISA, and you'll get to see several megabytes of
views of her in her apartment, wearing 5 different outfits!


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You will need about 3 megabytes of hard disk space, 530K of RAM, and VGA.
It runs under DOS and does NOT require a 486 or Windows or a mouse!


INSTALLATION
To install this game, create a new directory where you want to store the game,
for example, "GF".  Copy the GFDEMO.EXE file into that directory, and type
"GFDEMO".  This will automatically extract all the necessary files and put them
into that directory.  Then type "INSTALL" to complete the process.  After de-
compression of the files, the GFDEMO.EXE file is no longer needed and can be
deleted if you need about 1.2 Megabytes of disk space back.


RUNNING THE PROGRAM
When installation has completed normally, you can type "GFLiz" to start the
program.  She will ask your name and then you will see her face through the
view window, and she'll start talking to you.

It is often helpful for first-time Girlfriend players to type "HELP" early
in the conversation and read over the help file.  This will assist you in
avoiding common mistakes and give you suggestions on how to talk to her.


TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure you read over the HELP file before attempting conversations.  If you
have problems, call our Technical Support line at (214) 235-4999, or use one of
the numbers at the bottom of this README file for fax or E-mail.
