TITLE: The Oakflat Nuclear Power Plant Simulator v3.0sw
AUTHOR: D. S. Gamble for GAMTECH/Gamble Technologies
COPYRIGHT: (C) Copyright 1987-1992 GAMTECH/Gamble Technologies
All rights reserved world wide
PURPOSE: To safely run a light-water pressure fission reactor and
generate electricity at a profit. A score based on amount
of power generated, damage to plant, and financial figures.
REQUIREMENTS: An IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible with at least 256kb RAM memory.
The programs can be installed onto a floppy or hard disk,
and the disk must NOT be write protected.
SHAREWARE: The shareware concept has made it possible for you to obtain
extremely powerful software at a price you can afford, and it
gives you the opportunity to try the software before you
register. The "try before you buy" concept only works when
software developers release full uncut versions of their
software and users register the software they use.
Evaluate the program for 30-days and give copies to your friends
for evaluation. If, after the 30 days, you continue to use the
program, then register it by sending us the registration form
included in this help file. Registered Users will receive the
latest version of the software, free technical support for a
minimum of 3 months by telephone or BBS E-mail (through
CompuServe(tm)), and low cost upgrades to future versions of
the program.
OAKFLAT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT SIMULATOR is produced by 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 member's
products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at:
ASP Ombudsman
545 Grover Road
Muskegon MI 49442
or send a Compuserve message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman

of the software or the media it is distributed on. GAMTECH
will not be held responsible for any damages, implied or direct,
from the use of, or inability to use the software. This
includes damage to hardware, other software, lost wages or
income, or any other unforseen expenses. GAMTECH is not

PROGRAMS: The following files are compressed into the self-extracting
compressed file NUCLEAR.EXE. All of the files must be located
in the same disk directory when running OAKFLAT.EXE
OAKFLAT.EXE - Boot Program
OAKFLAT.001 - Main Simulator Module
OAKFLAT.002 - Final Evaluation Module
OAKFLAT.HLP - Command Summary Help File
OAKFLAT.DOC - Instructions/Help File (THIS FILE)
HYPRHELP.EXE - Document and Help file viewer
OAKFLAT.ICO - MS-Windows v3.x Icon File
All the above programs MUST be copied a single sub-directory.
If you do not receive all of the listed programs please contact
the distributor you received the software from.
Thes following data files are created by the simulator when it
is runs. Although these files will not be on your distibution
diskette they will appear in the directory where OAKFLAT.EXE is
located.
OAKFLAT.DAT - Stores the Highest Score, Most Power
Generated, and Highest Profit for all
other simulations to be compared to.
OAKFLATS.COR - High score data file (created by the
system when the simulation is complete).
INSTALLATION: To properly install The Oakflat Nuclear Power Plant Simulator
simply use DOS to copy all of the above programs to a single
sub-directory on a hard drive or to an UN-WRITE PROTECTED
floppy disk with at least 340kb of free disk space.
WINDOWS: Although the simulator is a DOS application, it can run in a DOS
window inside Windows. An icon is included with the program
(OAKFLAT.ICO) and can be used when installing the simulator in
Windows.
OBJECT: Use the CONTROL RODS, PRIMARY COOLANT PUMP (PCP), and
SECONDARY COOLANT PUMP (SCP) to maintain an equilibrium
reaction and generate electricity. For best results keep
the PERCENT OUTPUT = 100%. Higher outputs will cause plant
damage while lower settings generate less power and lower
scores.
START UP: To run the program, change to the program sub-directory
and type "OAKFLAT" at the DOS prompt. To avoid displaying
the first two title screens, start the program with a
command string of "/F" for Fast Start. At the DOS prompt
enter "OAKFLAT /F" for this faster way of booting up the
program.
COMMANDS: <F1> = Help/Command Summary
<F2> = Enter Control Rod Settings (0 - 100)
<F3> = Enter Primary Coolant Pump Rate (0 - 100)
<F4> = Enter Secondary Coolant Pump Rates (0 - 100)
<F5> = Enter Emergency coolant Pump Rates (0 - 100)
<F6> = Display Main Control Panel
<F7> = Enter Simulator Command
<F8> = Damage Control
<F9> = Change Display View
<F10> = Change Help Line
QUICK START: 1. Start Program with "OAKFLAT" at the DOS prompt.
2. When Main Control Panel for the Simulator is displayed,
press the <F7> key.
3. Enter "DEMO" at the command prompt.
The Simulator is now running in DEMO mode and will continue
to do so until 1000 days have been simulated, the plant is
destroyed during the simulation, or the user presses <F7> and
"QUIT" at the command prompt. The displayed VIEW will change
automatically every 15 seconds in order to see all of the
different screens. Commands can still be entered at the <F7>
command prompt while in DEMO mode. Use the DEMO or AUTO modes
to observe how the plant operates, and how to use the controls.
Practice entering commands by pressing <F7> and entering the
command at the prompt followed by a carriage return <CR>.
GETTING HELP: Press <F1> to view
