- 2. About this version
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This version (1.1) is the Warp 4 enhanced version. The unregistered version
- has some limitations. See "register.doc" and the online help for more
- information.
-
- There will be future versions of Toyland with new levels, states, features,
- etc.
-
- The game has been tested since August 95 by 33 beta testers. It has been
- public since October 95.
-
- Although this game is the release version and has been tested with several
- systems, there might still be some problems with certain hardware combinations.
- Certain sound drivers are known to create problems - see readme.1st for
- more information.
-
- 3. What Do You Need to Run Toyland
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1.) OS/2: The game has been tested on Warp only but it should
- also work with 2.x
- 2.) A graphic adapter with at least 256 colors / better with hi-color
-
- 4. Installation, Uninstallation
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- This version features an installation utility. It is the install program
- by IBM. You can use it for easy installation and maintenance but you
- don't have to. Once you have used it run the install program again if
- you should want to remove Toyland - this way you make sure every object
- is removed. However your player data, ini-file and exported levels will
- not be deleted by the uninstaller. So you can backup your own data.
-
- If you prefer to install Toyland manually you can either create a
- program icon for Toyland.exe or type Toyland at the command
- prompt. The game must be started from its directory - so if you create
- a program icon make sure you set the Working directory to the
- respective path.
-
- The game creates files (players, options) ONLY in the start directory
- and the /data subdirectory. It doesn't change the system's ini-files
- or your config.sys so you just have to delete the directory (and the
- subdirectories) to get rid of Toyland.
-

- 6. Benefits of the Registered Version
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Levels can be exported / imported. They can be exchanged via email since
- they are 7-bit encoded. If you join the Toyland mailing list you can
- send your levels and receive others - so there is no limit to the
- number of levels.
- - This version has 104 levels. All of these are available to the registered
- users while the unregistered version only has 12 levels. Each additional
- level set can be used by registered users without additional fee.
- - All worlds (states) will be available to the registered users. I will
- continue development. The CPU state is the first registered only state.
- - Finishing levels are only available to registered users.
- - Full support by the author: I am interested in everything you report.
- If you have ideas, bug reports or problems: I am all ears - and those
- ears hear better on the registered side ;-)

- simply use your reg-file to have it registered.
