Deep Space Drifter:
Interactive Fiction by Michael J. Roberts and Steve McAdams
This package was prepared March 21, 1991.
Copyright (c) 1990 by Michael J. Roberts and Steve McAdams.

This software is being distributed as shareware. You may use and redistribute
it subject to the usual shareware rules; see LICENSE.DOC for full details.
Please see ORDER.FRM for information on ordering this and other High Energy
Software products.
We appreciate the concerns many people have about registering their shareware:
authors move or just disappear. This is why we use a post office box (at
a REAL US Post Office!) to ensure that our address stays the same indefinitely.
We have a big pile of DSD Hint Books waiting for your order, and plan to be in
business for quite some time. Please help us out by taking a book off of
our hands - you'll be glad you did! If you have any questions or comments,
we would love to hear from you; see ORDER.FRM for our address. Thanks for
your interest!
Notes for DOS users
-------------------
On PC's, you may edit command lines with the arrow keys and other standard
editing keys. Review Mode (described in DEEP.DOC) is activated with
function key F1.
Saved games are stored in standard DOS files, by default in the current
directory (the directory from which you start the game), so make sure
you have free disk space before you begin playing.
