Lemmings such a great game... Hope Tribes lives up to expectations!
__________________
/ Compatibility * /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
OhNo! will only run on an ST compatible that supports Atari's PCM sound
which was first introduced on the STe. OhNo will only run correctly on a
Falcon if a patch has been run which connects the PCM soundchip and the
output. This isn't supplied... sorry!

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In this package (archive or folder) you should find the following files:
OHNO!.PRG The program. Put in your AUTO folder.

/ Getting started /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Just copy OHNO!.PRG into the AUTO folder of your boot drive (e.g. A:\AUTO
or C:\AUTO).
____________
/ Operation /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
OhNo links itself to the RESET vector in your STe's memory. This means
that when a warm reset is performed (either the Reset button or
Ctrl-Alr-Del) OhNo! plays its lemmings sample just before reseting the
computer. Upon resetting, OhNo is wiped from the computers memory, just
like everything else. On TOS 1.4+, using Ctrl-Alr-RtShift-Del COLD boots
your computer, and this will immediately wipe OhNo! with it. If you don't
hear OhNo!, then you know the computer has been effectively wiped.
*NOTE* apparently some new virii can catch the cold reset vector. If you
suspect something, ALWAYS switch off your computer for at least 30 seconds.

/ OhNo! History /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first version of OhNo! should have run on a standard ST.
Unfortunately, it didn't! Sample playing is so difficult on a standard ST
that trying to do it after most of the system has been ripped appart is
not easy!
OhNo! STE was written in April 1992.
