BATTLESHIPS
"This is an implementation of the old favourite battleships, but using the power of the PC to add some enhancements. Place your ships on the naval battlefield of your choice - you select the size and the number of ships. Then start trying to find the enemy - the computer plays your opponent.
Select different levels of computer intelligence to play against, from moronic through normal to genius. 3D and motion sequences of sinkings add impact to the game as you see your fleet go under the waves - it motivates you to hit the enemy's radar images first.
This game is NOT available as shareware - the only way to obtain it is through Pepys, so order it now."

INSTALLATION PROGRAM
"Did you like the installation program? If you are selling software then we can make the source code for this program available to you.
After having failed to make the Visual Basic Distribution Wizard work, we decided to create our own generic installer. The program allows you to set up multiple programs (one per directory) on each floppy disk. VBRUN300.DLL and the installation program (PEPYINST.EXE) sit above the program directories.
You define the files to be installed (and created - simple text files such as configuration and system data files can be created on installation) in a file packlist.txt - see our example on the our distribution disk. The user then just follows some simple instructions. You can even use it to create your distribution disks."
