- Installing
- ==========
-
- Unzip "pmsat10.zip" the package in the directory where you want to install it.
- If you got a file called "pmsat10.exe" it's a self-extracting archive, just
- copy it to the directory where you want the installation and run it.
- (You could also use the -d option tho specify the destination directory.)
-
- DON'T USE PKZIP, THOUGH YOU WILL LOSE SOME EA-INFORMATION THEN!
- MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU USE THE Rommel/Info-ZIP VERSION.
-
- The files lited above should now be in that directory.
- Then run install.cmd (without options) and a WPS-Folder with Program-Objects
- for the shareware version should be created.
-
- See "register.txt" if you are to install the registered version.
-
- Now you are ready to play the game
- (dubble click on the icon in your new PM Satellite/2 folder).
-

- Future plans
- ============
-
- To next version I have these primary plans:
-
- 1) Mulitple marking - (Shareware & registered version)
- In some way you should be abel to mark more then one vertex at a time
- in a smoth way. Either i could be that all vertexes inside a
- rectangle you draw with the right mouse button will be marked or
- line-marking - you first klick on one vertex and then another (with
- some hot-key hold down) then all vertexes that lies in the line between
- the two klicked ones will be marked.
-
- 2) Stopwatch - (Registered version only)
- The time will start when you check the first vertex and stop when all
- satellites are found.
-
- 3) Hiscore lists - (Registered version only)
- Hiscore for a number of "typical" settings or create a list for each new
- setting, I don't know which I will do yet. Please send your suggestion.
-
- 4) PM Interface to registration and install program
- An installprogram with GUI that contains registration too.
-
- Any other suggestions are welcome.
-
