- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains ORBOTS the Game, by Sunshower Systems Inc.
- This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
- features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
- 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 is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
- all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
- use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see gamehelp.DOC for more
- details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
- this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
- ORDER.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 program.

-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for ORBOTS 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.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- ORBOTS the Game.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place ORBOTS distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
- appropriate diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. 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 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 MS-DOS
- command, "c:\tempdir\install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. 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 the Game
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO - type 'orbots' to start the game.
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the document
- gamehelp.doc, 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. We hope you enjoy the game.
-
- To remove the game, simply delete all files from the ORBOTS the Game
- directory.
