#####################
Memory requirements
#####################
This programme needs at least 1 meg.
You may run it from Workbench in the usual manner or from
CLI.
Just type
Run > Nil: Parattack
endcli
(Make sure you have Run and endcli in your C directory)
1 meg users may still experience some problems if workbench is loaded
and/or you have a lot of peripherals attached to your system.
If memory is short you should put it on its own boot disk and replace
your startup sequence with the above lines.
IF YOU HAVE 500K OF CHIP RAM READ THIS!
***************************************
If the planes and paratroopers leave trails or the turret doesn't
redraw properly it is because you are running out of chip ram.
The amount of free chip and fast ram is shown on the ABOUT screen in
the programme. If chip ram drops below about 25000 bytes you may
experience the above problems. The best way to fix this is to put the
programme on its own boot disk. See above.
##############
The Game
##############
Parattack is loosely based on a game I saw many years ago on another
type of computer.
Basically, all you have to do is blast away the enemy planes and
paratroopers before they get you. Full instructions can be found
in the game. Use a joystick and the mouse.
Your high score will be recorded in a high score file in the same
drawer as the programme. For this reason the programme will need
to access this drawer so don't remove the disk while the programme
is running! If the high score file does not exist the programme
will create it. This could be useful if someone else has given you
a copy of the game with their high scores in it. Just delete the
file so you can start with a fresh set.
################
DISTRIBUTION
################
THIS PROGRAMME IS SHAREWARE!
This means that my ego and my wallet would appreciate a little feedback
for all my efforts!
You may (and are encouraged to) distribute the Shareware version of this
programe to anyone providing you observe the following conditions.
(a) You don't make any money from it (apart from a nominal copying fee)
without my prior written permission.
(b) You may not include it or any routines from it in any commercial
release (including SHAREWARE or one of its variations) without
my prior written permission. However, it may be included on a
compilation disk (such as those distributed by PD libraries)
providing no more is charged for the disk than the amount Fred
Fish charges for 1 disk.
(c) You distribute this entire doc. file and all other files with the
programme.
(d) Magazines may include it on a cover disk provided they include all
of the doc and read me files as well as any other files distributed
with the programme.
(e) If you use it you write back and let me know what you think of it
along with a shareware donation. (minimum $15 Australian)
To Andrew Kreibich
Box 333
Wantirna South
Victoria
Australia. 3152
Please try to send money in Australian dollars, or a cheque drawn on
an Australian bank (your bank should be able to arrange this),
our banks charge a fortune to convert:- another benefit of
deregulation?.
If you have trouble obtaining Australian Dollars, I can cope with
English, USA, Canadian or German money, but it costs me money to change
it so please add $5.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND EUROCHEQUES!! It costs me over $40 to convert these!
Any Eurocheck I receive will be sent back WITHOUT the software.
Unfortunately I cannot afford to send the software and hope that you
return the money. I did this once and never heard from the guy again.
(You may be feeling quite smug, Jurgen, but you have spoiled it for
everyone else!)
As they say; Once bitten, twice shy!
Naturally if you think I have done a really fantastic job on this
and you cannot help but show your appreciation by sending more money
(Australian Dollars!) etc. then I will happily accept it!
WHAT DO YOU GET FOR REGISTERING?
My thanks, the knowledge that you have encouraged me to keep programming
and releasing stuff, the source and of course a registered copy of the
latest version without the interuptions.
Source code will only be sent to those who specifically ask for it.
Also if you have any requests for differences or improvements in the game
I will try to include these. Bug reports gratefully received.
If you are lucky enough to register at a time when I have just finished
a new game or other programme you may get this as a freebie as well!
PLEASE STATE PROGRAMME NAME AND VERSION NUMBER WHEN REGISTERING.
IF YOU ARE REPORTING A BUG, PLEASE INCLUDE DETAILS OF YOUR SYSTEM.
Hope you enjoy paratroop,
Andrew.
