- Missile Master v2.50
- --------------------
- Copyright (c) 1993 Nisus Development & Technology
-
- Missile Master is Shareware. It is not Freeware or
- Public Domain. As such, you are required to register this
- software if you make continued use of it, usually longer
- than 30 days. In addition to the benefits of becoming a
- registered user, you will feel good (I hope) about
- supporting the Shareware concept. I'm not making a living
- at writing shareware, but a little encouragement in the
- form of registrations will allow me to continue writing
- fine pieces of software for all to enjoy.
- For more information on registering, please see the on-
- line help from within the game or refer to the end of this
- document.

- Disclaimer of Warranty
- ======================
- THIS SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND
- WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO PERFORMANCE, USEFULNESS,
- ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER
- EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. NO WARRANTY OF FITNESS IS OFFERED.
- ALTHOUGH THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN TESTED VERY THOROUGHLY, THE
- USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF USING THE PROGRAM. THE AUTHOR
- ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF DATA, PHYSICAL DAMAGE
- TO EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR
- DURING THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM.
- NISUS DEVELOPMENT & TECHNOLOGY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ADD,
- CHANGE OR REMOVE FEATURES AND PROGRAM COMPONENTS FROM THE
- SHAREWARE OR REGISTERED VERSION OF THIS PROGRAM WITHOUT
- PRIOR NOTICE.
-
- =================
- Installation Help
- =================
- If you have received Missile Master as a 'ZIP' file (ie:
- MIMA200V.ZIP), simply unzip the files to a floppy disk.
- Then from within Windows, choose [RUN...] from the Program
- Manager's [FILE] menu and type 'A:\SETUP' (or 'B:\SETUP',
- depending on where the disk is).
-
- Please note that Missile Master is distributed in two forms,
- one which includes VBRUN200.DLL and one which does not.
-
- MIMA250V.ZIP - Includes VBRUN200.DLL
- MIMA250.ZIP - DOES NOT include VBRUN200.DLL
-
- It is distributed this way because many people already have
- VBRUN200.DLL installed in their Windows directorys (all Visual
- Basic applications require it). If you have downloaded the
- Missile Master without VBRUN200.DLL and you need it, you might
- not have to download the other version. Many BBSs have
- VBRUN200.DLL available as a separate download, usually called
- VBRUN200.ZIP or something similar. Have a look before you
- waste your precious time downloading a larger file.
-
- =======================
- Batch File Installation
- =======================
- If you have problems using the Windows SETUP automated
- installation routine, I have provided a batch file to
- automate the installation. You must be logged to the
- directory where the batch file exists.
-
- Example (do not type quotes)
-
- type "A:" and press [ENTER]
- type "INSTALL"
-
