===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains ORBOTS for Windows, by Sunshower Systems Inc.

documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and
is more easily read after installation.
To obtain the latest version of ORBOTS Go PIKAPRO on Compuserve or visit
http:\\www.pik.com\index.html on the internet.
ORBOTS for Windows is a shareware program. This evaluation version
includes all features of the program. You may use it for up to 30 days,
without charge (see readme.txt for more details). If you like the

are required to pay for the program (see register.txt for more details).
Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for ORBOTS for Windows is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire
process. You will need about 2 meg of available disk space on the hard
drive on which you plan to install ORBOTS for Windows.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
ORBOTS for Windows.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place ORBOTS for Windows distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette
from Windows. For example, if the distribution diskette is on
drive A:, choose RUN from the File menu or START button, and
enter the command, "a:\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
The program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the game files to that directory. It will make no other changes;
specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded ORBOTS for Windows from a BBS (or received it in the
form of archive files from some other source), you will need to perform
the following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the game package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the Windows RUN
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
The program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the game files to that directory. It will make no other changes;
specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed ORBOTS for
Windows (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its
contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO - click on the 'Orbots' icon to start the game.
Once you've completed the installation, you should consult the document
readme.txt, which has been installed. That document will tell you how
to setup the program, and will give you other information you need to
properly evaluate ORBOTS for Windows. We hope you enjoy the game.
To remove the game, choose the uninstall/readme icon, then choose File -
uninstall.
