SYMPTOMS
========

When you start the game USS Ticonderoga by Mindscape, you receive the following
error message:

  - Incorrect DOS version

  -or-

  - Bad Command or File Name

CAUSE
=====

The startup batch file for the game includes the path C:\Dos\mem. If you
upgraded from an earlier version of MS-DOS, the batch file tries to run the Mem
program from the earlier version of MS-DOS, resulting in the error message
"Incorrect DOS version." If you do not have an earlier version of MS-DOS, or the
MS-DOS directory is something other than C:\Dos, you receive the error message
"Bad command or filename."

RESOLUTION
==========

Modify the Tico.bat file. Change the line that reads

  C:\DOS\MEM

to:

  C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MEM

Or, contact Mindscape for information about resolving this problem.
