Introduction
============

nIBbLIT is the smallest (and greatest ?!?) NIBBLER CLONE for PC.

It is a SHAREWARE program and I've included a small tiresome "noise" that
will encourage you to register:

AFTER LEVEL 5, THE ABOUT WINDOW WILL AUTOMATICALLY APPEAR WHEN YOU ENTER A
NEW LEVEL AND nIBbLIT WILL FORCE YOU TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE CONTINUE
PLAYING; IF YOU REGISTER YOUR COPY OF nIBbLIT THIS BORING TRICK WILL
DISAPPEAR (see "How to register" section). 

WITH THE UNREGISTERED VERSION YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PLAY ONLY THE FIRST 10
LEVELS, IF YOU REGISTER YOU'LL GET 22 COOL LEVELS. 



INSTALLATION
============

If you want to play nIBbLIT you'll need a:
  - PC386 or higher with 8Mb RAM
  - a 256 color Super-VGA
  - Windows95(tm) o WindowsNT(tm)
  - ~1Meg of free space on your Hard Disk

The program and related files are stored in an archive called NIBBLIXX.ZIP
where XX is 11 for version 1.1, 12 for version 1.2, etc. 

Files description:
NIBBLIT.EXE		: main program
NIBBLIT.HLP		: help file
README.TXT		: this file

In order to install nIBbLIT, simply unzip the NIBBLIXX.ZIP archive into
your favourite game directory (eg. C:\GAMES) and run from windows (eg.
select Run... in Start men and type C:\GAMES\NIBBLIT.EXE). 



QUICK START
===========

Move the snake and eat every diamond in the maze; if you hit your tail
you'll lose a life. 

Keyboard:

Q	= UP
A 	= DOWN
N	= LEFT
M	= RIGHT

With a little of practice, the snake will make "acrobatics"!!! 

File menu':
CTRL+S  	= START NEW GAME
CTRL+P  	= PAUSE
CTRL+Q  	= QUIT

Help menu':
CTRL+H  	= HELP
CTRL+L   	= THIS PAGE
CTRL+R   	= HOW TO REGISTER
CTRL+A   	= ABOUT



HOW TO REGISTER 
===============

If you like nIBbLIT and decide to register then you must fill out the
registration form and post it to me together with the money. As soon as I
receive it I'll send to you the registration password that you can use to
register to nIBbLIT. 

 IF YOU PLAY nIBbLIT AND FEEL THAT IT IS GOOD, YOU SHOULD REGISTER: THE
 SHAREWARE FEE IS USA $10 (OR AN EQUIVALENT SUM IN DM OR ITALIAN LIRE). 

In the registered version all 22 levels are available and there are no
boring waitings during play!!! 

Please fill this out if you want to register to nIBbLIT (if you haven't a
printer, make a HAnD-copy of it); post it to me together with the money.
DON'T FORGET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS!!!
