SIMMAP Version 1.0
Copyright (c) 1993

SimMap is not free software. It is released as shareware, which provides
the opportunity for the program to be evaluated before it is purchased.
We hope that after you try SimMap you will like it and will want to
register. By doing so you are voting with your pocketbook for us to
continue developing high-quality, Windows shareware.
Complete information on how to register SimMap is included in the
REGISTER.TXT file.
OVERVIEW
--------
SimMap is a windows program that allows you to edit or create Maxis'
SimCity city map files. SimMap was designed to look as much like SimCity
for Windows as possible. SimMap allows you add and/or change any form of
water or trees. You can also remove anything, including stuff like fire,
floods, fallout, etc. When you register, you will receive the enhanced
version of SimMap that allows you to add any buildings, parks, roads, and
whatnot. Check out the help file for more information on this stuff.
INSTALLATION
------------
To install SimMap, follow these steps:
1. Create a directory on your hard disk for the SimMap files, using the
DOS CD command or the Windows File Manager. Example: C:\SIMMAP
2. Copy all the files from the SimMap distribution disk or the SIMMAP.ZIP
file into that directory.
3. Copy the BWCC.DLL file into your main Windows directory. This file is
the Borland Custom Control library. If you already have this file in
your main Windows directory, you may not need to copy this file as you
need only one copy of the file for all your programs that may need it.
4. In the Windows Program Manager, click inside the program group window
where you want the SimMap icon. Then click the File//New command and
click OK in the next dialog box.
5. Type in the information for SimMap in the next dialog box. Include the
complete path for the program in the Command Line field. Then, click OK.
The SimMap icon will appear in your selected program group. If you do not
see it, scroll the group window to find the icon, then move it to a new
location.
That completes installation of SimMap.
RUNNING
-------
To start SimMap, double-click its icon in the Program Manager. The first
time you run the program, it will create a file in it's directory to save
your settings and preferences.
GETTING HELP
------------
SimMap offers a help system to answer your questions. To use this system,
give the "SimMap Help" command in the "Help" menu, or press the help icon
