YATETRIS is a public domain program. So feel free to give copies
to your friends, neighbours, mommies, daddies, and enemies. BUT:

   I don't give any warranty of correctness nor do I accept
   responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it.

YATETRIS is a Tetris-like game for Windows 3.0. It comes to you
in a ZOO file including the following files:

   YATETRIS.EXE   Executable
   YATETRIS.FIG   Definition of standard Tetris figures
   YATETRIS.HSC   Highscore table
   YATETRIS.HLP   Help file (I hope the English is well enough,
                  if not, send me a correction list ...)
   YATETRIS.INI   Initialization file
   YATETRIS.DOC   This file

All these files, except the DOC-file, are expected to be in the same
directory.


2. Figures
----------


All used figures are defined in a file called YATETRIS.FIG. In this
version a figure editor is included. Use Windows Help for editing
details.


3. Version Chat
---------------


Well, this is the first release. Stay tuned for next versions which will
have

   - more levels
   - a more satisfying figure editor
   - a new level editor

Nevertheless, if you detect any mysterious behaviour or other strange
things please contact me at

or, if this is not possible, write to

4. Initialization File YATETRIS.INI
-----------------------------------


There are three values which you can modify:

   figures=<path to figure file>
   levels=[on|off]
   shadow=[on|off]

where:
   figures is the full path to a figure description file. If no path
           is specified the YATETRIS.EXE directory is taken.
   levels  turns level orientated game on and off, respectively.
           (Default is on.)
   shadow  turns shadow below playground on and off, respectively.
           (Default is on.)

Additionally, each level have its own entry in which you can modify
a level's drop time and its lines to solve. Take

   level1=500,10

for an example. This means that level 1 will have a figure drop time
of 500 and that you have to solve 10 lines before entering the next
level. (To make the figures drop faster just enter a lower value.)


5. ToDos
--------


   - A lot of clean up
   - Doc's, doc's, doc's
   - And then there is C++ ...


6. Bugs
-------


   - Dunno if this is really a bug: After closing the game the About
     window of PM tells me, that I've lost 1K of memory. (But after asking
     in good old net.land some kind soul told me: "Let It Be, Let It Be" ...
     Windows' memory management ...)


7. Programming and Testing
--------------------------


YATETRIS was (and is) programmed with Borland C++ 2.00 (hope to get 3.00 as
soon as possible). It was tested in Windows 3.0 (386 Enhanced Mode),
MS-DOS 5.0, and TDW.


Viel Spass,

        -Peter

P.S.: I also have a German version. If someone's interested, drop me a
      note ...
