DEMO DISTRIBUTION
You may distribute the non-registered shareware version of 
Operation: Inner Space to others, but if you distribute Inner
Space for direct or indirect profit by any means, you must first contact 
Software Dynamics, inc. In all cases, you must abide by the following 
to distribute Inner Space:
1) You may only distribute a non-registered shareware version.
2) You must clearly show that the copy of Inner Space is unregistered 
shareware and that Software Dynamics, inc is the sole owner of all 
copyright and interest in the game.
3) You must include all files originally in this package.

INSTALLING
You must first be in the Windows environment to install Inner Space.
A) If you receive Inner Space as a compressed INSPACE.ZIP file:
	1) Unzip INSPACE.ZIP in a temporary directory. If INSPACE.ZIP is on 
	a CD or a floppy disk, you will need to first copy it to a temporary 
	directory that you create on your hard disk.
	2) Run SETUP.EXE, the Inner Space installer.  
	3) Install Inner Space to a new directory (C:\SPACE by default) or 
	over an existing copy of Inner Space to upgrade it.
B) If you receive Inner Space on floppy disk or CD as a group of files 
including SETUP.EXE:
	1) Run SETUP.EXE, the Inner Space installer.  
	2) Install Inner Space to a new directory (C:\SPACE by default) or 
	over an existing copy of Inner Space to upgrade it.

STARTING TO PLAY
Run Inner Space (INSPACE.EXE) from Windows.  During the game intro, press 
'ESC' to start a new game. Select a ship to fly into Inner Space.  To start
playing, just use the arrow keys (Thrust=UP, Turn=LEFT, RIGHT, Brake=DOWN). 
Use Shift or SPACEBAR to shoot. Use Alt-X to exit the game. For more information 
about the game, see the online help (press F1 or F2).

SCREEN SAVERS 
Inner Space works as a configurable screen saver so that a 
changing game demonstration can be your screen saving display. 

SHIP FACTORY
With the Ship Factory, you can compare the characteristics of all the ships 
in the game and also make custom ships for use in Inner Space!

TECH SUPPORT
Answers to almost all tech questions are available at our website at:
http://www.sdispace.com/tech.htm

We provide tech suppport by email, fax, and regular mail. Bugs reported via 
email receive top priority and make it easiest both for you to give us specific 
information on the problem and for us to get back to you in a timely manner. 

NOTE: Before trying anything else, please check to see if there is a newer update 
to Inner Space that might fix the problem. Always check the version number
on your copy of the game before contacting us. Hit Alt-G in game for version number.
Check the following locations for updates:

1) SOFTWARE DYNAMICS GAMEWORLD is our website and has the latest Inner Space updates, 
tech support info, and a link to send email to our tech dept. Our website is 
http://www.sdispace.com

2) On COMPUSERVE, you can visit our support forum (GO GAMDPUB, Software Dynamics section)
for updates and tech information.

Keeping users happy with the game is top priority. We do not make any money 
when you download or try the game, only if you choose to order it and recommend
that your friends order it, too. Please appreciate that it took years to 
develop the game and we work hard all the time to test and improve it, as 
well as field questions from users.

We're really sorry when anyone experiences a problem with the game and we'll
work hard to fix it. Before releasing any version of Inner Space, we rigorously 
test it. Some users still experience problems because there are so many 
combinations of computers, video drivers, sound drivers, and operating 
system versions, and there are so many things you could do in the game.  

If you report a bug to us, we will do our best to fix it, but keep in mind
that the problem may occur because of an incompatible sound or video card, 
some other software running on your computer, or it could be a bug
that depends on a subtle sequence of events. We will be more inclined and 
more capable to fix your bug if you send the bug report by email and tell 
us all the details about what you did in the game, exactly where it crashed, 
and provide as much detail as possible about your computer.

A user might tell us "I ran it and it crashed." Such a bug report doesn't 
help us fix it.  The user might later indicate that what they meant was that 
1 time out of 1000, the game crashed right after selecting a ship in the intro. 
With that, we have a specific part of the game to look at, but it's hard to 
repeat the problem.  If the user told us a sequence of events that would make 
it crash every time, we could probably repeat the problem here.  Any problem we 
can repeat, we can and will fix.

Please do not call our order line or any resellers to report bugs. 
The order line operators cannot give technical help. We will do everything 
possible to fix reported bugs, especially when users are
considerate and provide the information we need to work on a fix.  


REGISTERED USERS
If you are updating a registered copy of the game, please follow the install
instructions.  The updater should update the game to the latest version and 
preserve the registered status of the game.

However, we do not guarantee that specific upgrades will work for all
users.  After installing the upgrade, if the game seems to be unregistered, 
reinstall from your master disk and the game should be registered again.  
Try to update it again. If the updater again makes the game unregistered, 
reinstall from your master disk and do not try the update again.  In such 
a case, we will replace your master disk for free, provided you pay the 
shipping cost to send out a new master disk with the latest version ($4 USD).

GP FAULTS
If the game halts with an error such as a General Protection Fault, the 
game will probably not run correctly until you restart Windows. The problem
might have to do with memory, the video driver or some other software that
is running. As with any bug, always try to reproduce it to verify the problem. 
To see if Windows has enough memory, please check that Windows is set up to 
use at least 2Mb of virtual memory.  To see or change Virtual Memory settings, 
open the "386 Enhanced" item from the Windows Control Panel (CONTROL.EXE).
 
VIDEO DRIVERS
There may be problems with some video cards. We can devise workarounds for 
such cards if we know about the problem. If there is a crash or error when 
the game is loading graphics, please try to reproduce the problem and tell 
us so that we can get working on a fix. 

NEW WINDOWS VERSIONS
Inner Space is tested with the current commercial Windows versions. However, 
new prerelease versions of Windows may not be completely compatible with older 
versions and that can cause problems.  Inner Space works well 
with Windows 95 generally, but some sound or video drivers need to be updated 
to work properly with Win 95. If the sound or video drivers are out of date, 
the game could be adversely affected.  Prerelease Win versions are experimental. 

MIDI MUSIC
If Inner Space's music has incorrect or missing instruments, check your MIDI 
mapper settings (in Windows Control Panel).  For Enhanced midi sound cards, use 
channels 1-10, Basic midi sound cards use channels 11-16.

NO SOUND
You need a Windows-compatible sound card to hear Inner Space's audio.  If 
you have a sound card that works with other Windows apps, but don't hear any
audio in Inner Space, you may have an older sound card which might not 
report itself correctly to Windows.  Therefore, to force Inner Space to play 
audio, add "AllowSound=1" to your [Inner Space] section of INSPACE.INI (in 
your Windows directory).

VARIOUS SOUND PROBLEMS
Inner Space uses the Windows wavemixer to play up to 8 sounds at once.  The
wavemixer is from Microsoft and not compatible with all systems.  If you get
an error referencing wavemix or the sounds start and stop in a jerky way, set
the MixChannels to 1 (in Game Setup, Audio subdialog) so that sound is played
without using the wavemixer.

DEINSTALLING
If you need to deinstall Inner Space, just delete the Inner Space directory 
and all files and subdirectories of it (C:\SPACE by default).  Also, make 
sure the current screen saver in the Windows Control Panel, Display 
settings, is set to "None" or any other saver display to keep Windows 
from trying to use Inner Space as a screen saver.

THANKS! 
Thanks to all the users who order the game and support our efforts!
We want to especially thank our most enthusiastic fans who have referred many
others to Inner Space. See our Customer Rewards Program at 
http://www.sdispace.com/rewards.htm for our new initiative to reward users 
who recommend the game to others. The engineering is up to us, but it is
pointless without great users to spread the word and give us feedback 
that helps us improve our products.
