2. All game files must be contained in the folder "PEFiles" with the exception of the hosting web page.  The "PEFiles" folder can be placed anywhere on the host server, but for proper operation on some web server such as apache it needs to be under the directory of the hosting page.

  NOTE: The BASE parameter must not appear in the EMBED tag otherwise it will not work in Mozilla Firefox
  The source needs to be replaced with an Absolute URL

  "PE_HostingFile.htm" is an example of hosting the game on a web server.

3. The CoLogo .pcx files in the root are uncompressed versions of the HipSoft logo.  They can be used to create a new CoLogo.jpg file that can be placed in the "PEFiles" directory so that it will be used by the game.
