NOTE:  Much of the ending is determined by how you play in the BEGINNING of
the game; whether or not you took the cards at Flora's, if she is calm or
angry, if you rescued deirdre, or killed Julian, or allied with Eric.
Killing any character will have an effect on the outcome.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES:

1.     DO NOT say "break contact" in the mind fight AFTER you have already
        said "think water".  This is a fatal bug.
2.     If you have a hard disk, be sure and use the setup command and set
       the number of drives to (2).


THE PATTERN:

1.     Without a color monitor:
       There are messages at the bottom of the screen, telling what color a
       new path is.  Pay very close attention to the location of each path
       and from time to time draw a diagram indicating where each path is.

2.     Note that you can cross over paths that are a different color than the
       one you are creating.  For instance, if you are adding pattern tiles
       to the white path, you can cross over the red, blue, or black paths.
       The only path you cannot cross is the one you are creating.

3.     Try to get the "T" shaped tiles up, as far away from each other,
       early in the game.

4.     Try not to back yourself into a corner no matter how useless the path
       seems.

5.     You don't have to cross each star with a different color path.

6.     Use the paths not only as a means to get to a star, but also as a
       way to use up tiles in an attempt to have a different tile appear. 

7.     The color of the path is the color of the line in the center of it
       and not the background color of the tile.
