Deep Space Drifter:
Interactive Fiction by Michael J. Roberts and Steve McAdams
Copyright (c) 1990, 1992 by Michael J. Roberts and Steve McAdams.
All Rights Reserved.
This package was prepared November, 1992.
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.
You are requested to register your copy as described in LICENSE.DOC.
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.
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
-------------------
You should copy DEEP.EXE onto your hard disk before beginning play; refer
to your DOS manual for details on the COPY command. To run the game,
CHDIR to the directory containing DEEP.EXE, then start the game by typing:
DEEP
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.
