OK, to start off with, \'The Institute\' 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.
