Installation
------------

First copy the zip file 'cyberstr.zip' from the distribution floppy to an
empty directory on your harddrive.  From within that directory to extract the
demonstration from the zip file type

pkunzip -d cyberstr.zip

To run the program, type cyberstr and press the RETURN key.

Sound
-----

Sound support in this application is for the Sound Blaster range of
compatible cards. In order for the application to access your card the
environmental variable BLASTER defining where your hardware is located
MUST be defined. The variable contains 3 values of importance to the
software - the sound blasters port (usually 220, it must be specified in hex)
the sound blasters DMA channel (usually 1), and the sound blasters interrupt
(usually 5 or 7). To set your environmental variable (if it has not already
been set by the installation of your card) type

set BLASTER=A220 I5 D1

where the number after the A is the sound blaster port address (in hex),
the number after the I is the sound blaster interrupt number, and the
number after the D is the sound blasters DMA channel.

Note that the values MUST be in this order, and have a single space between
them (make sure there aren't any leading spaces). If no sound is produced then
it is possible that the application has not been able to setup your card
correctly.

The Game
--------

In this game demonstration your mission is to destroy as many rats as
possible. To do this you must move around the street, and point your
gun so as a rat is within your sights, then fire the gun and destroy
the rat. You must destroy the rats as quickly as you can. When there are no
rats left the game is complete. The rats enter the game at a fixed speed,
so speed is of the essence.

The rat at the top left of the screen indicates how many rats are alive, the
more worried the rat looks, the better you are doing. The display on the top
right of the screen shows how many rats you have killed. A rat in the x5
column means you have killed 5 rats, two rats in the x25 column and one in the
x1 column means you've killed 51 rats.

The Application Controls
------------------------

CYBERSTR.EXE is controlled using the keyboard and the mouse. The controls
for the application are as follows:

1) Holding the left mouse button down and pushing the mouse 'forward' (from
the bottom of the mouse mat to the top of the mouse mat) will move your
character forward.

2) Holding the left mouse button down and pulling the mouse 'backward' (from
the top of the mouse mat to the bottom of the mouse mat) will move your
character backwards.

3) Holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse 'right' (from the
left of the mouse mat to the right of the mouse mat) will turn your character
right.

4) Holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse 'left' ( from the
right of the mouse mat to the left of the mouse mat) will turn your character
left.

5) When you are in the street you may fire the gun to shoot the rats. To do
this hold down the right mouse button. The rats take 4 hits to be killed. They
will only take a hit if their body is in the centre of the site. The site
changes shape if the rat will be hit by a shot.

6) To fly around the street in 'demo' mode press 'F' (for fly). Just click on
the mouse button to leave this mode.

7) Holding the left Shift key down and the left mouse button down, whilst
moving the mouse will change the direction of view for your character.
