BattleTech: Line-of-Sight for PalmOS Copyright Theo Brinkman (c) 2000 v1.2.0 - 05-12-2000 Table of Contents: i: License ii: Intructions iii: Installation iv: The Source v: Change History vi: Contact Information vii: Credits vii: Disclaimers License: - GNU General Public License (Current Version) See 'COPYING.TXT' for details. Instructions: BT: Line-of-Sight is a line-of-sight plotter designed for use with the BattleTech™ board game. Simply define the terrain between the attacking 'Mech & its target, and tap 'Plot'. How to Read the Plot: If the lower dotted line passes through a ground elevation, the target has partial cover. If the upper line passes through a ground elevation, line-of-sight is blocked. Any other terrain intersected by either line effects the to-hit roll. Optional Rule: If terrain only intersected by the lower line adds more than +3, give the target partial cover. Installation: - Remove any previous version of BTLOS from your device. - Install BTLOS.prc and BTLOSPDB.prc on your PalmOS device. - A full installation will take approximately 20K of space on your palm. The Source: - The PocketC Source code for BTLOS is included in a memo pad export file named 'BTLOS-1.2.0-src.mpa'.
