  ABOUT ùTHE FiRST FiVEù
    The first five is freeware. It can be freely distributed as long as it
  is not modified in  any way.  No money can  be charged  for it.  (Please
  distribute it to every  computer-user you know.)  However we can  not be
  held  liable for any  kind of trouble or  damage caused  by executing or
  messing around with this piece of software.

  ABOUT THE iNTEGRiTY OF TFF.EXE
    If  you  are  not sure  about  the integrity  of  tff.exe  then  enter
  "tff -integrity" to check it.  If it is not ok,  try to get a valid file
  and delete this package.

  HARDWARE REQUiREMENTS
    The first five  requires an  80286 or later  processor  and a standard
  VGA card  to run.  It also  requires  448k of  free memory  and a Gravis
  Ultrasound  sound card  (with 512k dram).  You may think  we are so lame
  because  we  release a  musicdisk  with  only  gus  support.  (We didn't
  include  support  for  SoundBlaster and  compatibles  because  everybody
  hasn't got a gus yet.)  We  declare  now that  we will  not support  the
  SoundBlaster cards.  (We are very sorry  if you are an unfortunate owner
  of an sb card.)
    Note: running ultrinit.exe  before tff.exe is  always welcomed but not
  necessary.  This operation will minimize the number of init clicks;  our
  init routine is not fine, but works.

  COMMAND LiNE AND KEY SUMMARY
    You can get  detailed information  on command  line options  by typing
  "tff -help". I think it doesn't require more explanation.
    The control of the interface is quite evident. Two things: (1) you may
  control the global volume with + - keys and  (2) you may press the s key
  to display the sound settings at any time.

  CREDiTS FOR ùTHE FiRST FiVEù

  ++ APOLOGY ++
    If you own a gus you have probably noticed those playing errors in the
  interface. (eg the volume of the chords are slided down etc.)  The cause
  is that I erased the part in the source accidentally, which disabled all
  the running effect when it is necessary.  Finally it is fixed.  (It took
  us  two weeks to notice  this unpleasant bug - and about two  minutes to
  correct.)  We are  really sorry for  this ugly bug.  Otherwise  you  may
  freely distribute this bugfixed version as well.
