- SKIDMARKS EXTRA INFO (NOTE: THIS IS VERSION 1.06!)
- fixed from 1.05 = baud locked at 2400, nomousebutton exit, less memory req
- **************************************************************************
- To play simply click on the SkidMarks icon in the previous window (close
- this window first!). For two machines click on the connect icon, if the
- handshake succeeds the game will load on both machines.
- To play via modem enter the phone number in the phone book (hit return)
- and then click on the dial gadget to the left. Use Answer gadget if someone
- is calling you. Type your salutations to each other then click on Connect.
- Modems faster than 2400 are a worry. Speed is not the question for smooth
- fast online play, modem repsonse time is. Therefore if you are faster than
- 2400 you will need to read your modem user manual and work out an init
- string that will disable all MMP and other error correction. Ask on your
- local BBS if you need help. Even with error correction off on my Xyxel
- (using AT&K0) I still can't get it to not transfer in fits and bursts,
- so I use a $40 2400 modem.
- Don't forget to register your copy of SkidMarks with Acid Software so you
- will be eligible for program updates, new track disks and even more cars.
- We may also be developing a BBS DOOR so you can run championship events on
- your local Board, Sysops please contact us! (oh, 2UP can use ctr alt and
- and Amiga for keyboard control, BlitzKeys will be fixed soon!)
