Overview:
---------
             ORBOTS for Windows V1.0 <ASP> The classic DOS game reincarnated
        for Windows!  Orbots for Windows is a heart pounding,  brain boggling,
        shoot 'em up, extravaganza.  256 color graphics are complemented with
        extraordinary digital sound.  An adrenaline junkies dream!  You must
        pilot the astro-chopper to defeat an invasion of half machine, half
        organo mutants from another dimension.  They have plenty of surprises
        for you, and some nasty tricks for you to figure out.  If you get
        through their defenses,  you still must face their mother ship to defeat
        them. Good Luck. You'll need it!

2.1 About Shareware
	Shareware is "try it before you buy it" software.
	Use the program for 30 days and decide whether you'll ever use it
        again. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
	software, and the copyright holder retains all rights.
	Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
	Orbots the Game is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
	charge to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with
	your friends, but please do not give it away altered.
	If you find this program useful and find that you are using
	the Screen Savers, you must make a registration payment.
	The small registration fee will license one copy for use
	on any one computer at any one time.  You must treat this software
	just like a book.  An example is that this software may be used by
	any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
	location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
	being used at one location while it's being used at another.
	Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
	same time. If you plan to keep the software, please pay the
	authors. These fees are small, and support some of the brightest
	programmers working today.

2.2 ASP Ombudsman Statement
        This program is produced by a member of the Association of
        Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
        shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve
        a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting
        the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman
        can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member,
        but does not provide technical support for members' products.
        Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon,
        MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
        message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
