SolarCht 1.00 - READ.ME
-----------------------
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"!
