                            SEA BATTLE for DOS


                                A Game by
                              Paul H. Smith


Description
-----------

Sea Battle is Sidewalk Software's version of the age old paper and pencil
game of two navies engaged in battle at sea. You are in control of one navy
and the computer is in control of the other. Each navy has five warships
hidden in a 10 by 10 grid, and each navy shoots into the grid hoping to hit
one of the opposing navy's ships. You, as commander of one navy, will engage
in battle against the computer, and you must try to sink its navy before it
can sink yours. The game is very user friendly, it has easy to use controls,
and it includes context sensitive help in pop-up windows. If you and a
friend have enjoyed playing a paper and pencil version of this game, you'll
love the fun that you can have with the computer version. And, your computer
is always ready for another round of play.

After an introductory screen, the program presents you with two grids for
you and the computer to use in placing your ships, and it includes the
following controls:

    (Q)uit    - stops the game and returns to DOS
    (R)estart - starts the game over from the beginning
    (S)ound   - turns the sound effects on or off
    (H)elp    - brings up a context sensitive help window

To get started, simply type SEABAT at the DOS prompt, hit the space bar to
get past the introduction screen, and type "H" if you need help learning how
to place your ships.
