Introduction
BattleStar for Windows 95/NT

Copyright © 1986-1998 by Gregory Braun. All rights reserved.

Overview

BattleStar for Windows 95/NT is a small game similar to the classic BattleShip. The BattleStar game board is a 9x9x9 grid representing a 3-D galaxy. The galaxy contains 972 sectors, 60 of which contain enemy warships. You must locate and destroy these enemy invaders before they can establish bases in the galaxy.

BattleStar for Windows 95/NT is fully Y2K compliant and will work with MS Windows 98 as well as Windows 95/NT systems.

Game Play

Simply click the Mouse on any galaxy sector coordinate to select a missile target and then press the Spacebar to fire a missile. Press the Enter key to move to the next galaxy quadrant.

Purchasing BattleStar

BattleStar for Windows 95/NT is a fully functioning program. It is not crippled in any way.

BattleStar for Windows 95/NT is distributed as shareware. You may evaluate it free of charge for 30 days. After 30 days you are required to register it. If after evaluating BattleStar for 30 days you decide not to register it you are required to remove it from your computer.

Registration entitles you to unlimited free updates and support via E-Mail or telephone.

You may also purchase BattleStar for Windows 95/NT using your credit card via the Internet or by telephone.

Desktop Locations

BattleStar’s location on the desktop is saved when the program is exited. Whenever you start BattleStar it will reappear on the desktop where you last placed it. BattleStar property sheet locations are also stored and reused the next time they are opened.


Installing BattleStar

Installation

To install BattleStar for Windows 95/NT on your computer simply create a new, empty folder and place the files; BSTAR.EXE, BSTAR.HLP and BSTAR.CNT there.

BSTAR.EXE	- The BattleStar Application

BSTAR.HLP	- The Windows 95/NT Help File

BSTAR.CNT	- The Windows 95/NT Help Contents File

If you installed BattleStar for Windows 95/NT using the SETUP.EXE program and selected the default installation settings BattleStar for Windows 95/NT will be installed in the C:\Program Files\Software by Design folder.

To integrate BattleStar for Windows 95/NT with the MS Windows Explorer select the Help | Setup menu item to open the BattleStar Explorer Setup property sheet.

Note If you have an earlier version of BattleStar for Windows 95/NT installed on your computer, simply replace the BSTAR.EXE, BSTAR.HLP and BSTAR.CNT files with the newer versions.

The various application settings specified in the BattleStar Options property sheet as well as the main window’s size and location on the desktop are stored in the MS Windows 95/NT System Registry.

Warning If you rename the BSTAR.EXE file you must also rename the BSTAR.HLP file using the same basename. For example if you change the BattleStar application file name to NewName.exe, rename the help file to NewName.hlp. Do not rename the BSTAR.CNT file however. The HLP and CNT files must reside in the same folder as the BattleStar application file itself.

The MS Windows 95/NT Help program creates a pair of files associated with the BSTAR.HLP file. These files will have file extensions of GID and FTS. These files are used to store specific information about the help window location on the desktop and the word list used for topic searching. These two files will be created when the BattleStar for Windows 95/NT Help file is first used.

What is Shareware

The concept of "Shareware"...

Shareware, also known as user supported software and other names, is a concept not understood by everyone. The author of Shareware retains all rights to the software under the copyright laws while still allowing free distribution. This gives the user the chance to freely obtain and try out software to see if it fits their needs. Shareware should not be confused with Public Domain software even though they are often obtained from the same sources.

If you continue to use Shareware after trying it out, you are expected to register your use with the author and pay a registration fee. What you get in return depends on the author, but may include a printed manual, free updates, telephone support, etc. Only by paying for the Shareware you use do you enable the Shareware author to continue to support his software and create new programs. Considering that the Shareware registration fees are almost always far less than the purchase price of comparable commercial software it's obvious that Shareware is a good deal for everyone.

There are real advantages to you in the Shareware system. You get to try out software to make sure it is compatible with your hardware and that it fits your needs before you "buy" it with your registration. The author saves the expense of advertising, packaging and distribution and passes the savings on to you. Plus, most Shareware authors are much more accessible than commercial software sources so that your questions and suggestions are much more likely to be responded to.

Thank you for your support.
