- What is SolarCht?
- -----------------
-
- SolarCht.EXE is a utility program for players of "Solar Winds" (TM)
- by EPIC. It allows you to edit a saved-game file to give yourself
- more reactor core energy.
-
-
- Installing SolarCht
- -------------------
-
- Copy SOLARCHT.EXE to the subdirectory where you installed the rest of the
- files for "Solar Winds".
-
-
- Using SolarCht
- --------------
-
- To use SolarCht, you first play "Solar Winds" and save a game before
- exiting back to DOS. Remember the position number you used to save this game
- because you need it to run SolarCht. Once you have saved a game, type:
-
- solarcht
-
- at the DOS prompt to see a list of all the options that are available to you.
- Follow the instructions and you should have no trouble editing your saved
- game.
-
-
- SolarCht Example
- ----------------
-
- A good place to start is to give your ship 100 more gigawatts. Let's say
- you saved a game in the 0 position. To give yourself more energy, type:
-
- solarcht 0 100
-
- That's all there is to it! Type "solatcht" by itself to get a list of all
- the available options and experiment for yourself! Remember to make a
- backup of a .DAT saved game before running SolarCht so you can go back to
- it later if you want to.
-
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- I have only tried this on the first of the two-part series of "Solar Winds"
- adventures, but it will probably work on the second part as well. Backup your
- files first before testing just in case.

- Registering SolarCht
- --------------------
-
- Print out the file ORDER.FRM to get a quick order form for registering
- SolarCht. If you register, you will receive the latest version and the
- Borland C++ source code used to make it. The cost of the diskette and the
- mailing charges are all included in the $2 registration fee. If you find
- SolarCht useful, upload it to other bulletin boards so other players can
- have an easier time exploring the universe of "Solar Winds"!
