-----------
!!!! PLEASE NOTICE THIS IS BETA VERSION !!!!
!! NOTICE: We will not take any responsibility any of the damage this game
may cause to your computer, software, yourself, your cat, your dog, your

About the PP - registered
-------------------------
If you register PP, you'll get more playfields, which are more
complicated (more objects, more to destroy). You'll also
get new weapons, ships, parallax, etc.
Hardware requirements
---------------------
486dx (may run even on 386dx 40 if sound option is off, there
is also an option which reduces graphics quality and increases
game speed), vga, 8Mb of free memory(no 640kb memory requirements
because game runs under dos4gw dos extender), about 3Mb of free
hard disk space, mouse, SVGA (optional) and soundblaster(optional).
!! This program runs even with 4Mb, but you must run PPLOWMEM.BAT !!
Installation
------------
You just need to unpack the PP.ARJ archive. When you have unpacked
the archive then you have to run PPSETUP.BAT to configure soundcard
or for choosing no sound option.
Playing
-------
There is no much to explain because starting the game and playing
it is quite easy. Here are couple of keyboard commands you should
know:
ESC - quits the current game
In game keys can be modified from keys.cfg, keycodes
can be found from "make.txt".
Menus
-----
Menus are controlled with mouse.
Configurations
--------------
CD tracks can be modified from CDROM.CFG.
Keys from KEYS.CFG, unregistered version has only manual way
to set the keys. Run PPSETUP.BAT to configure sounds.
All others .CFG files what you can find, modify them and see what
happens.
Network playing
---------------
In network the computer who comes first in is the server, and when
all machines have been found they wait server to make settings, that
is the time when server chooses playfields and settings for all
players. When the server makes the settings he/she must remember to
not to change the "players" setting anymore. In network there can
be only player/ one computer.
Creating own playfield
----------------------
You'll have to register to do this.
Troubleshooting:
----------------
In unregistered version the CDROM - music interface may cause
a break down.
