DEXTERITY SOFTWARE presents PIRATE'S PLUNDER
OVERVIEW
--------
You are Captain Nevarro of the Pirate Ship Odyssey, searching the rich
waters of the Andorian Sea for ancient sunken treasure. Battle dangerous
sea creatures and fierce pirates who will attempt to send your ship to
a watery grave. Strengthen your vessel by finding ammunition dumps on
nearby islands. Avoid the force of the swirling whirlpools and drifting
icebergs, and beware the haunted ghost ship, which is rumored to have
caused many crewmen to leap to their deaths in sheet terror. If you
think you can collect all ten ancient treasures while outwitting the
dangers of the deep, then man your vessel and sail on in search of
Pirate's Plunder.

HOW TO INSTALL PIRATES PLUNDER ONTO YOUR HARD DRIVE
---------------------------------------------------
To install the game onto your hard drive, run Microsoft Windows, and
select "File" then "Run..." from the main menu in the Program Manager.
If you are running Windows 95, select the "Run..." command from the Start
menu instead. Enter the full path, and run the program SETUP.EXE. For
example, if you are installing from a disk in drive A:, type A:SETUP and
then click the mouse on the OK button or press RETURN.
Follow the on-screen installation instructions to proceed. You will be
asked to enter the path to the directory on your hard drive where you wish
to install the game files, or to accept the default choice. The installation
program will copy the files to your hard drive and create a Program
Manager group which will contain the game. To play the game, simply open
the program group, and double click the mouse on the icon of the game.

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-----------------------
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are
expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in
the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to
copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written permission
before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT

Dexterity Software is a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem
with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to
help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members'
products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road,
Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
