Psion Battleships V1.2 (C) M.C.Avey 1996

Thankyou for trying Psion Battleships. I hope you enjoy the program. Please
feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions regarding the
program.

Installation
------------

Using PsiWin
------------

If you are using PsiWin, I would suggest opening two windows next to 
each other. In one window, have the directory with the Unzipped files in 
it on your PC. It should have two directories, one called bships and the other
one wve (ignore the text files). In the other window, have the Psion disk you
wish to copy it to. Highlight the files in the first window and, holding down
the Ctrl key on the PC, drag the files onto the root directory in the Psion window.
This should copy all the files into the correct place. Then, install the program
as usual using Psion-I. 

Manual installation
-------------------

A directory named BSHIPS should be created within the APP directory on
any drive and the following files should be copied to the location
specified.

File					Location
----					--------
BATTSHIP.OPA			APP
BLOCK.PIC               APP\BSHIPS
BSHIP.PIC               APP\BSHIPS
BSHIPS.RSC				APP\BSHIPS
CROSS.PIC               APP\BSHIPS
CURSOR.PIC              APP\BSHIPS
ENGINE.OPO				APP\BSHIPS
MISS.PIC                APP\BSHIPS
PREFS.ODB               APP\BSHIPS
SHOWHELP.OPO            APP\BSHIPS
STATS.ODB               APP\BSHIPS (R)

(Files marked (R) should be placed in an APP\BSHIPS directory on a RAM device
[either the Internal disk, or a RAM SSD], as they get changed quite often.
The game will work if these files are placed on Flash SSD, but the free
space on the disk will gradually disappear)

The following sound files are optional and do not need to be copied in
order to play the game. They should be placed in a WVE directory on any drive.

EXPLODE.WAV                             WVE
SUCCESS.WAV                             WVE
LOSE.WAV                                WVE

Once all files have been copied, install it from the System screen using
Psion-I.

Playing the game
----------------

Full instructions are included in the help file. Press the "Help" key
once the program has started for full instructions.

Registration
------------
I have tried to make this program as playable as possible, but you should
still register the program if you continue to use it. If you register, you
will be able to access the following features of the game:-

* Full Save/Load, allowing you to save the game in progress and re-load it
  at a later date
  
* The Statistics can be reset at any time

* The initial nag screen will be removed

I don't particularly like nag screens, but I thought it was better to
provide more functionality to allow you to properly evaluate the program
at the expense of a small nag screen that will only get displayed once
per program use, just to remind you that it is shareware.

The program can be registered in the following ways:-

* CompuServe SWREG, ID Number 12743. Cost $10.00 (US Dollars)

* Through RegNet - The Registration Network. The cost via this method is $14.00
  (US Dollars). The additional cost is due to Regnet charging $5.00 per registration.
  The RegNet number for this program is 365. RegNet can be reached on the World
  Wide Web at the following URL: 

  http://www.xmission.com/~wintrnx/regnet/regnet.htm

  or by calling 1 800 WWW2REG (1 800 999-2734) or (801) 355-5110.

  RegNet can accept the following methods of payment: MasterCard, Visa,
  American Express, Novus (Discover), check or money order (drawn on a US
