- SimMap is not free software. It is released as shareware, which provides
- the opportunity for the program to be evaluated before it is purchased.
-
- We hope that after you try SimMap you will like it and will want to
- register. By doing so you are voting with your pocketbook for us to
- continue developing high-quality, Windows shareware.
-
- Complete information on how to register SimMap is included in the
- REGISTER.TXT file.
-
-
- OVERVIEW
- --------
- SimMap is a windows program that allows you to edit or create Maxis'
- SimCity city map files. SimMap was designed to look as much like SimCity
- for Windows as possible. SimMap allows you add and/or change any form of
- water or trees. You can also remove anything, including stuff like fire,
- floods, fallout, etc. When you register, you will receive the enhanced
- version of SimMap that allows you to add any buildings, parks, roads, and
- whatnot. Check out the help file for more information on this stuff.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- To install SimMap, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Create a directory on your hard disk for the SimMap files, using the
- DOS CD command or the Windows File Manager. Example: C:\SIMMAP
- 2. Copy all the files from the SimMap distribution disk or the SIMMAP.ZIP
- file into that directory.
- 3. Copy the BWCC.DLL file into your main Windows directory. This file is
- the Borland Custom Control library. If you already have this file in
- your main Windows directory, you may not need to copy this file as you
- need only one copy of the file for all your programs that may need it.
- 4. In the Windows Program Manager, click inside the program group window
- where you want the SimMap icon. Then click the File//New command and
- click OK in the next dialog box.
- 5. Type in the information for SimMap in the next dialog box. Include the
- complete path for the program in the Command Line field. Then, click OK.
- The SimMap icon will appear in your selected program group. If you do not
- see it, scroll the group window to find the icon, then move it to a new
- location.
-
- That completes installation of SimMap.
-
-
- RUNNING
- -------
- To start SimMap, double-click its icon in the Program Manager. The first
- time you run the program, it will create a file in it's directory to save
- your settings and preferences.
-
