-
- README.DOC : This file, containing information about how to use the new
- set of zones, and updated registration requirements and
- information. PLEASE, READ IT CAREFULLY.

-
- NEW REGISTRATION INFORMATION
- ============================
- Roge'r Soft is no longer an independant software company, and from now on,
- all the games previously distributed from Roge'r Soft, will be distributed
- under the name of the authors. We are the same staff as in Roge'r Soft,
- anyway.
-
- The new address to send registration form requests is :
-
- Ariana Fu
- 62 Boylston St. #909
- Boston, MA 02116
-
- The $10 check must be payable to Rogelio B.Andreo.
-
-
- Since Spectrum Holobyte has a game named SuperTetris(TM), we also decided to
- rename our game as SuperRetriss, and new releases will include the new name.
-
- If you already registered any program from Roge'r Soft, we (R.Bernal and
- A.Fu) will still take care of you and process your registration, and a
- few gifts will be included in the disk containing the registered release,
- as an apologize for any inconvenience we might have cause you.
-
-
- HOW TO USE THE NEW SET OF ZONES
- ===============================
- In the examples, we assume that the game is currently in the following path :
-
- C:\GAMES\STETRIS
-
- And the file ZONES1.ZNE (from this pack) is in the drive A (no subdirectories).
-
-
- IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER :
- ----------------------------
- All you need to do is copy the file ZONES1.ZNE to the directory where the
- game was installed, by typing :
-
- A:\>copy zones1.zne c:\games\stetris
-
- Then, run the program, and select LOAD ZONES (option 4 from the main menu).
- Then, select the file ZONES1, and go back to play from the main menu. That's
- all.
- If you already had a file named ZONES1.ZNE, rename it with a different name
- (but use the same extension ZNE), BEFORE you copy the file included here to
- the same directory, by doing :
-
- C:\GAMES\STETRIS>ren zones1.zne zones1b.zne
-
- In fact, you can rename either one (our ZONES1 or the ZONES1 you already
- have). Whatever you like the most !!
-
-
- IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE REGISTERED RELEASE:
- ----------------------------------------
- In the directory where the game was installed, rename the file BOARDS.DAT
- to B1.DAT, by typing :
-
- C:\GAMES\STETRIS>ren boards.dat b1.*
-
- Then, copy the file ZONES1.ZNE to the game directory :
-
- C:\GAMES\STETRIS>copy a:zones1.zne
-
- And now, rename it to be BOARDS.DAT, by typing :
-
- C:\GAMES\STETRIS>ren zones1.zne boards.dat
-
- Whenever you want to use the old set again, you just need to rename
- BOARDS.DAT to B2.DAT, and then rename B1.DAT to BOARDS.DAT.
-
- The reason is very simple. The unregistered release uses a file named
- BOARDS.DAT as the zones data file, and cannot use any other filename
- as a zones data file. So, whenever you obtain a new file (set) of zones
- you just need to make sure that the current BOARDS.DAT is renamed as
- something different, and rename the new set as BOARDS.DAT.
- With just little knowledge of DOS, you can handle it yourself without any
- problem. If you have problems, is because you did not understand clearly
- the instructions above and/or you are not good enough in DOS.
- Whatever is your case, do not forget that by registering the program, you
- will obtain the registered release, which includes a very easy to use
- zones loader, and also a full-screen mouse driven to design, modify and
- save new customized zones for you personal use (and why not, share it with
- other people). So, go and register !!
-
-
- Enjoy it !!
