To install:

1. If you have an old version of GMS, DELETE IT.  Do not attempt to install
   this version of GMS over an old version.

2. Move the new GMS/ directory to the same position as your old GMS
   directory, or if you are a new user, store it on a safe place on your
   hard-drive.

3. New users must assign GMS: to the main directory.  This is a standard
   assignment that *must* be available or else you will not be able to run
   anything.  To make it a permanent assignment, put it in your
   S:user-startup.

   Example:

     Assign GMS: HD1:System/GMS/

4. Run GMS:Utils/GMSPrefs/GMSPrefs, setup the screen settings to suit your
   machine and save it as the default.  If you have OCS/ECS you must set the
   chipset option correctly, as the default is AGA which could crash these
   older machines.

5. That should be all.  If you have any problems with the executables, the
   developers archive contains IceBreaker, which can tell you what is going
   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.

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 GMS:  assign, or the data files are missing.
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.
