- DEXTERITY SOFTWARE presents BRAINWAVE
-
- OVERVIEW
- --------
- Your brain is being invaded! Nanobots (tiny robots created with
- nanotechnology) have been surgically implanted into your cerebral cortex
- to reverse the negative effects of television on your central nervous
- system. After repairing the damage, the Nanobots were supposed to be
- destroyed by your immune system, but something went wrong. While repairing
- the brain, the Nanobots began to grow smarter and decided they wanted to
- live -- at your brain's expense. Now they are feeding on your brain's grey
- matter and growing smarter still. You must find a way to destroy these
- invaders before you lose your mind.

-
-
- A NOTE ON SPEED
- ---------------
- If BrainWave's graphics performance appears slow and choppy on your
- system, you can try the following to improve its speed:
-
- - If you are running applications in the background that are
- consuming CPU time, close them before playing BrainWave. BrainWave
- will perform best if it doesn't have to share CPU time with
- other applications. If you are running spreadsheet calculations
- in the background, for instance, BrainWave's performance may
- decline, depending on the speed of your system.
-
- - BrainWave performs best at 640x480 resolution in 256-color mode.
- BrainWave will run in higher resolutions and at higher color modes,
- but performance may suffer on slower machines. Use the Windows
- Setup program to verify that you are running Windows in 640x480
- resolution with 256 colors.
-
- - Try disabling BrainWave's sound effects and/or music. You can turn
- these on or off through BrainWave's Options menu. When the music or
- sound effects are turned off, graphics performance will improve
- slightly because BrainWave will automatically use the extra CPU
- time to enhance drawing speed.
-
-

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
- -----------------------
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
- it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are
- expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
- request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
- trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
- to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
- stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
- commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
- cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in
- the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to
- copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written permission
- before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
- find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
- commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
- easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
- low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
- guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

- ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT
- -----------------------
- Dexterity Software is a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
- works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem
- with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to
- help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
- an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members'
- products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road,
- Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
- message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
