- This program is public domain, and as such is freely
- copiable AS LONG AS NO PROFIT IS MADE. I will, in
- all cases, rigorously defend my copyright by all
- means open to me if I find anyone making money by
- selling this application (small though it may be).
-
- Introduction:
- I found two things about the original Holed Out!
- program that I didn't like; it didn't use RISC OS
- properly and it needed to be able to write to disc
- to save configuration information. Neither of these
- are necessary under RISC OS, but as this game was
- written in the days of Arthur it still uses
- 'naughty' techniques. This utility is an upgrade to
- the game which solves both problems and also
- provides a nice little icon to double click on.
- NB: To use this upgrade you will need an original
- Holed Out! game disk. The Holed Out! game is NOT
- provided as part of this utility, and if you wish to
- pass this utility on you must NOT include any part
- of the original Holed Out! code with it.
-
- Use:
- Copy the !HoledOut application from this directory
- onto a disk with more than 500k free. A blank floppy
- or a hard disk are equally acceptable. Next, set up
- a ram disk with at least 500k of free space. Now
- place your original game disk into a drive and
- catalogue it. From it copy every file except for
- !BOOT, HOLEDOUT1, DRIVER and SCREENSHOT into the ram
- disk. Now replace the disk containing the !HoledOut
- application. Catalogue the disk and open the
- !HoledOut application by double clicking with SHIFT
- held down. Copy all the files from the ram disk into
- the application directory. Now run the !HoledOut
- application by double clicking on it. Text will
- scroll by on the screen and eventually the 'Press
- Space or click mouse to continue' prompt will
- appear. Click a mouse button and the desktop will
- reappear. If the !HoledOut application directory is
- not on-screen then open it by double clicking on
- !HoledOut with SHIFT held down. When the directory
- viewer appears, delete the file !Run and then rename
- the file !RunX to !Run. The game is now ready to be
- run from its icon.
-
- Running the game:
- The game does require quite a bit of memory, and so
- it's better to run it after a reset on 1Mb machines.
- Simply double click on the !HoledOut icon to run the
- game. Everything will function exactly the same as
- before, with one exception. The golfers will have
- different coloured jumpers (I didn't like the three
- grey jerseys and so I've changed them to a green and
- two shades of blue).
