Larvae v1.1
(c) 1999 Portrayal software
23/8/99

Introduction:
-------------
This is the latest version of the game, all reported
bugs (2 of them) have been fixed and the game is around 
100K smaller bringing its size down to 320K which is
a little more reasonable.
The first bug to be fixed is the workers no longer block
in mid air after you have just walked off something and
the second bug isn't really a bug, a small routine
to stop the game flashing through the finish screens too
quickly if you've pressed enter too many times by 
accident.

The all new website is still

Any bug reports or comments - which would be very
usefull at this juncture - can be mailed to me at:

Thank you for playing Larvae and I hope you enjoy.

Machine requirements:
---------------------

Due to speed requirements, Larvae will only run properly
speed on the Series 3mx. The Series 3c will run the code
but it will be very slow.
Larvae is also a big program (by Psion standards)
and requires 320K of free space for storage and a
further 150K to run (470K total required).

Installation instructions:
--------------------------

Installation is very simple, copy the whole Larvae
directly onto the internal drive of the Psion and
install the icon in the system screen from the file
Larvae.opa contained in the larave directory.
IMPORTANT - The larvae directory must be in the placed
in the root directory of the internal drive. putting
it as a subdirectory of another folder WILL NOT work.

It must be:

internal\larvae\

NOT, for example:

internal\games\larvae\

Also note that when unzipping the game the /d option must
be used (if using PKunzip) to preserve the directory structure.

Future developments:
--------------------
A full game of Larvae is currently under production and is
expected to appear in a month or so. See the website for 
loads more information.
Future versions of the demo will be released from time
to time so it may pay to make regular visits to the 
site.


Controls:
---------

The game has a built in help file which will tell you how

Acknowledgements:

levels for the full game
