To install:

1. If you have an old version of GMS, DELETE IT.

2. Copy the entire libs/ directory to LIBS:.  Make sure that the GPI/
   and other sub-directories go in there too.

3. Copy the includes/ directory to where you keep your INCLUDES:.
   (If you have E, you may have to move the EModules directory to the
   appropriate place).

4. Assign GAMESLIB: to the demos/ directory (make this a permanent
   assignment).

5. If you have CygnusEd and are interested in the assembler sources, copy
   Extras/ceddefaults.s to your S: directory.  This will set the correct
   tab stops for the source files (which have a .s extension).

6. Everything else goes wherever you want to put it, but make sure you can
   find things when you need them.  If you have any problems with the
   executables, SnoopDOS can often tell you what is wrong.

If you are wondering where the icons are, I happen to use a directory
manager so I don't create any.  You will have to make your own if you
want to use Workbench.

What else do you need?  GMS also supports files packed with XPK, so you may
like to get that off Aminet.  The place to go for this is:

utils/pack/xpk_User.lha

Don't bother getting the developer files, GMS handles all the technical
work for you.

To run the demos, just open a shell window, CD to the demos/ directory and
execute them.  If they don't work, then there is either not enough chip ram
available, they can't find the games.library, or they can't find the data
files.  Most require some sort of joystick or mouse activity if you are to
see anything happen.

If something goes wrong it may be a bug, so you should write and tell me
what happened.



              Demos support Left-Amiga + M screen switching.
