Spider Web is not for sale through retail facilities. It is distributed as
shareware on an "I trust you" basis and is not in any form to be considered
public domain or free. Considerable effort went into creating the program and
I'm retaining full protection under the copyright laws. However, I also want
you to be able to share my games with your friends. So, please feel free to
hand on as many copies as you would like, as long as you include the original
BAT file and all of the document files.
There are no set prices for my games. I leave their value up to you. If you
are going to use Spider for your personal enjoyment, whether you got it from a
software distributor or a friend, please mail a check to me at the above
address. Your donation towards each programs creation is appreciated. In
exchange, I will add your name to the list of those eligible for updates,
contests, and additional games. For example, I hope soon to have a joy-stick
added to many of them. I'd also like your comments and suggestions. If you
wish, you may use the registration and order form by typing PRINT ACTMENU.REG
at the DOS prompt.
Like many of my games, Spider's Web is designed for full color with high
resolution EGA graphics and should run on most PC's and work alikes. If you
have any problems, let me know.
Spider is a fun exercise with a mouse. The object is to spin a web and catch
all of the flys before they over populate. You can also eliminate the flys by
erasing them with the spider when suspended with a web strand or hitting them
with the <SPACE> bar or <RIGHT> mouse button. Fewer active flies are allowed
as the number of web strands increase.
The built in mouse support should work for any mouse. The program does not
support a joy stick yet. However, you can play with the cursor keys. The
corner keys on the number pad will let you move diagonally. Press <ENTER> or
the <LEFT> mouse button to start and stop the web strands. The <LEFT> button
is 'yes' and the <RIGHT> button is 'no' for Yes/no questions.
You may copy the Spider files into any directory on hard disk or another
floppy. The only real requirement is that all of the files associated with
the game, except for its BAT file, must be in the same directory. You may
have to adapt the BAT file for your system if you put Spider on your hard
disk. You may activate the program directly, with a BAT file, or from ACTMENU.
Good luck, and let me know if you enjoy Spider Web,
Chris
P.S. You can disable this message by removing the 'TYPE' and 'PAUSE' entries
from your personalized BAT file. Please retain the original BAT file if you
are going to pass Spider along.
