- ============
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- The minimum installation is 112k, the maximum installation is 191k.
-
- 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 'ASTROCKS'.
-
- Copy all the files except README.TXT into the \System\Apps\ASTROCKS\ folder.
-
- 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 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. Sometimes the Series 5 fails to play
- sounds when batteries are becoming low, but are not quite low enough for the
- Series 5 to report them as low. If in doubt, change the batteries.
-
- 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, if any, were given.

- the menu.
-
-
- ============
- 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

-
- When you register you will receive a code that will enable this program to be
- used with your Series 5. The code is linked to the Unique ID of your Series 5,
- if for any reason a replacment code is required, one will be supplied free of
- charge. If you require further codes for any reason (including changes in your
- Series 5's Unique ID due to repair, or to replace a lost code), you will need
- to register for the new Unique ID. 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.
-
- It took a long time to write this program, I hope you like it and will register
- so that I continue making more programs for your enjoyment.
-
- Best wishes,
