- REVERSI - V 1.2 for the Psion Series 5 & 5mx & compatibles
- ==========================================================
-
- A Classic game, also known as Othello. Capture your opponents pieces between
- your existing pieces and the piece you are placing, they then become yours.
-
- Easy to play, but hard to master. With 10 skill levels ranging from Beginner
- to Genius. The higher skill levels use advanced, unique, and fast artificial
- intelligence to play a powerful, human like game. The Genius levels take
- approximately 5 seconds to make a move (2 seconds on a 5mx).
-
- Includes a 2 player game option.
-
- High quality speech provides a female opponent that will, if you wish, comment
- as the game progresses. Can be played with your Series 5 pen or the keyboard.
-
- Includes lot's of options so that you can customise the the game to just how
- you like it.
-
- ============
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- The minimum installation is 60k.
-
- If upgrading from an earlier version, delete the previous version (YOU MAY KEEP
- THE FILE RV-REG TO SAVE ENTERING YOUR REGISTRATION CODE AGAIN), before following
- the installation instructions below.
-
- Turn on your Series 5, press the System icon (bottom left of the screen),
- press the Menu key, under 'Tools' select 'Preferences', make sure that there is
- a tick next to 'show system folder' and click on 'OK'.
-
- Go into either C:\System\Apps\ or D:\System\Apps\
-
- From the menu, under 'File' select 'Make new folder' name it Reversi.
-
- Copy all the files except README.TXT into this directory.
-
- If you wish to save space, you may omit some or all of the sound files, but I
- recomend trying the game with the sounds as they make it more fun.
-
- Pressing the 'Extras' button (bottom right of screen) will now reveal
- this programs icon, select it to begin.
-
- If the program does not run, try renaming its folder to a different name,
- wait a few moments, then rename it back to the correct name.
-
- If you have difficulty with installation, re-read and follow carefully
- the above instructions, you have probably put the files in the wrong place,
- or named the folder incorectly.
-
-
- ===============
- TROUBLESHOOTING
- ===============
-
- If you have a problem, check that your batteries are not low, and that there is
- plenty of memory available to the program.
-
- Check that you have followed the installation instructions correctly.
-
- Check my web site to see if you are using the latest version of this program.

-
- If you still have a problem after checking the above, send me an email, explaining
- the problem in as much detail as possible, stateing what machine you are running
- the program on, what version you are running, what files have been put where, at
- what point in the programs execution the error happened, and what error messages
- were given.

- ===========
- HOW TO PLAY
- ===========
-
- Full instructions are included in the program.
-
-
- ============
- REGISTRATION
- ============
- Full instructions on how to register and details of cost are given within the
- program, just select 'How to register' from the menu, you will be given a choice of
- registration methods and their prices, followed by full instructions to the
- method of registration selected.
-
- When you register you will receive a code that will enable this program to be
- used with your Series 5. If for any reason a replacment code is required, one
- will be supplied free of charge. If you change to yet another Series 5, and you
- wish to continue using this program, you will need to register it to the new
- Series 5. You will recieve a new code, and again be entitled to a replacement
- code if needed.
-
- The above policy is necessary to minimise piracy, and to keep the amount of time
- spent dealing with each registration to an acceptable level, which in turn,
- enables me to keep the cost of registration low.
-
- If enough people register, I will be able to continue making software for
- your enjoyment.
-
- =============
- FINAL COMMENT
- =============
-
- I hope that you will encorage me to write lots of new programs by registering.
-
- I am currently programing full time for the Psion Series 5, and can only
- continue with your support.
-
-
- Many thanks,
-
-
- Ben Vaughan.
