Example:  WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS _ RELEASE-NOISE-MAKER
     To select this command you would first select WEAPONS from
     the main menu.  Then you would select DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS in
     the WEAPONS menu.  From the DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS menu you
     would then select RELEASE-NOISE-MAKER.

END
     When selected, it will automatically update the enemy and
     all weapons systems for the entire Turn Time.  It is
     possible to change the Turn Time using the OPTION _
     CHANGE-TURN-TIME command, this will be explained later on.
     END, regardless of the Turn Time, will be selected for you
     when a missile is within 5 seconds of your ship.

INTELLIGENCE
     When selected it will display a list of coordinates where
     ships have been spotted.  These are ruff values, but can
     give you a general idea of where your enemy is.  This
     screen also contains an emergency re-supply point where
     you can replenish your supply of weapons.  You can only
     get supplies once every 30 minutes.  To go to one of these
     points use the NAVIGATION _ GOTO-POINT command.



NAVIGATION
     This is the most important command that you will be using.
     Once you select navigation from the main menu another menu
     will appear with various commands dealing with the
     navigation.  The following is a list of the commands.
NAVIGATION _ EVADE-TARGET
     This command will automatically set your course, and
     continually update it, so that you will be on a heading
     directly away from the target you choose.  Radar MUST have
     the target in site for the command to work and if the
è     target is lost during play the navigation systems will be
     set to manual.
NAVIGATION _ GOTO-POINT
     When selected you can designate a point, on the 1,000 x
     1,000 map, for the navigation systems to head to.  This is
     useful when you are relying solely on intelligence
     information, described previously, and you don't actually
     have a target on radar.  Once you are within two nautical
     miles of your destination, your speed will be set to 1
     knot.
NAVIGATION _ MANUAL
     This simply lets you set your course and speed manually.
NAVIGATION _ PURSUE-TARGET
     This is the same as Evade-Target in every way except that
     it sets your course so you are heading directly towards a
     target.  Once you are within two nautical miles of your
     target, your speed will be set to 1 knot.

OTHER
     When selected, this will allow you to issue commands that
     do not directly effect the operation of the ship.
OTHER_ ABOUT
     This will display the version of Frigate and other program
     information in the Options Window.
OTHER_ CHANGE-TURN-TIME
     This command allows you to change the Turn Time.  The Turn
     Time is the amount of time you are allowed to enter
     commands and the time for which the enemy and all weapon
     systems are updated when you select END or you run out of
     time.  You cannot change the turn time to less time than
     has already passed.
OTHER_ QUIT
     QUIT simply quits the game after giving you the final
     statistics.
OTHER_ RETRIEVE
     This will retrieve a game previously saved.
OTHER_ SAVE
     This saves the game you are currently playing.

PAUSE
     This command will pause the game until you press any key.



RADAR/SONAR
     When selected, this will display another menu which will
     allow you to manipulate the Jamming, Radar and Sonar
     systems.  The following is a list of the commands
     available under RADAR/SONAR.
RADAR/SONAR _ EVALUATE
     This command will fill the Options Window with detailed
     information about any ship that is currently being tracked
     by radar.
RADAR/SONAR _ JAMMING
     This command allows you to set the power at which to jam
     the enemy's radar.  If the ship is damaged you may not be
     able to set it to 100%.  You can see its effect by
     watching the enemy's approximate radar range which will be
     displayed in the Options Window.
RADAR/SONAR _ OVERALL-STATUS
     This will display the overall status of the Jamming, Radar
     and Sonar systems.
RADAR/SONAR _ RADAR
     This allows you to set the power of your radar systems.
     If the ship is damaged you may not be able to set the
     power to 100%.  To see the effect that you change made,
     look at your ship's radar range which will be displayed in
     the Options Window.  If an enemy ship or missile is not
     within your radar range you will be unable to see it.
RADAR/SONAR _ SONAR
     This allows you to set the power of your sonar systems.
     If the ship is damaged you may not be able to set the
     power to 100%.  To see the effect that you change made,
     look at your ship's sonar range which will be displayed in
     the Options Window.  If an enemy torpedo is not within
     your sonar range you will be unable to see it.
RADAR/SONAR _ TARGETS
     This gives you a quick summary of all the ships you are
     currently tracking on radar.

SHIP
     When selected you will be able to view damage reports or
     statistics about the game.  The following are the two
     commands which can be selected.
SHIP _ DAMAGE-REPORT
     This gives you a quick summary of the capacities for each
     function of your ship and the amount of supplies
     remaining.  The status of the Hull and Engine directly
     effect your ship's maximum speed.  If the capacity of
     Jamming, Radar or Sonar is below 100% the value displayed
     is the maximum percentage at which it can operate.  If any
     of the offensive or defensive weapon systems fall below
     80% the system will be rendered useless.  When your
     accumulative capacity drops below 20%, your ship will
     sink.  At the end of every turn, your ship will undergo
     repairs.


SHIP _ STATISTICS
     This will fill the Options Window with general statistics
     about the game.

WEAPONS
     This command will allow you to fire at your enemy and
     operate defensive systems to destroy and confuse in-bound
     missiles.  The following is a list of the commands
     available under WEAPONS.
WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS
     This command allows you to operate you ships defensive
     weapon systems. (You will find a list of the commands
     available under DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS and their descriptions
     later in the documentation)
WEAPONS _ FIRE
     This command lets your fire either a missile or a torpedo
     at the enemy.  (Note: You must have already selected a
     target with the WEAPONS _ SELECT-TARGET command)  You have
     two different types of missile.  The most powerful and the
     fastest is the short range missile, but it has a
     relatively short range compared to that of the long range
     missile.  You have one type of rocket propelled torpedo.
     They are the most destructive of your weapons, but they
     are very slow and have a minimal range.  To view more
     detailed information about these weapons use the WEAPONS _
     OVERALL-STATUS command.
WEAPONS _ SELECT-TARGET
     This command allows you to select a target to fire a
     missile or a torpedo at.  A window with each weapons
     status and the targets status will be displayed in the
     Options Window.

WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS
     This command allows you to operate you ships defensive
     weapon systems.  The following is the list of commands
     available under WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS.
WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS _ FIRE-CHAF
     This command allows you to fire a chaf rocket.  Chaf is
     thousands of pieces of aluminum foil which obscure your
     ship on enemy radar.  This can make a missile lose it's
     target and miss.  The chaf will remain airborne for
     approximately 2 minutes.
WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS _ RELEASE-NOISE-MAKER
     This command will release an electronic noise maker into
     the water.  It will mimic the noises made by your ship.
     The noise maker then can draw the attention of the torpedo
     away from your ship and towards itself.  This is your only
     defense against a torpedo.  It will last approximately 4
     minutes.

WEAPONS _ DEFENSIVE-SYSTEMS _ TOGGLE-STATUS
     This command will toggle the Gatling Gun and the Anti-
     Missile Missiles on and off.  They, when toggled to
     automatic, will automatically fire at in-bound missiles
     when they come within range.  It is a good idea to keep
     them on automatic all the time during a combat situation.
     Remember to look at their status occasionally to make sure
     you don't run out of missiles or Gatling Gun rounds.

Technical notes:
     Frigate was written in Turbo Pascal ver 4.0.  All
     functions which are used are standard.

Color and monochrome monitors:
     Frigate automatically assumes that you have a color
     monitor and adjusts accordingly.  If you are unable to see
     the screen when the game loads up, due to the colors, use
     the command line option /M and Frigate will switch to a
     monochrome display mode.

Command line parameters.
     If you need to use one of these options, type it in at the
     end of the command FRIGATE when you load the game.
     (ie. FRIGATE /M /S or FRIGATE /m /D etc.)
     /M or /m  Turns on monochrome display mode.
     /S or /s  Eliminates snow on older CGA systems.
     /D or /d  Turns off direct screen writing.
               (for multi-tasking software like DesqView)

Values given in Frigate:
     Speed:           Knots or kts (nautical miles per hour)
     Distance:        Nautical Miles or nm (1.15x Statue Mile)
     Course/Heading:  Degrees  (0-359   0 being North)
     Time:            Decimal Time (1.5min = 1min 30sec)
