OK, to start off with, 'The Insti-
tute' is the type of adventure where
you do a lot of dashing from point 'A',
to point 'C', maybe a quick stop-off
at point 'B', then back again. This
means, that there are a lot of moves
required to solve this adventure (around
325). So since you can only save one
game per disk, I suggest that you take
the files "VENSAV" and "VENLOD", and
place them on a few other disks so that
you will be able to save more then one
game.
Next, I'd like to point out that
there are also a lot of moves that you
would not need to do if you wanted to
go a bit more faster through the solve.
So, I have included an asterisk (one of
these "*") in front of these moves.
When you see one of these, you can
either ignore it, or follow, but, if
there are more then one them in a row,
don't start in the middle or you'll
find something won't work.
You should follow everything in
brackets, and in parenthesis are
comments or extra directions I might
make.
Now you should be in a dream...there
are 4 seperate dreams you have to go
throUgh. This is dream #1. From here
on, never drop either the bottle, or
the water, until I tell you to at the
end. Onwards:::>
