Notes for ST users
------------------

To start the game, just double click on DEEP.PRG.  Once the game has started,
no further disk access to DEEP.PRG is required, so you can change disks if
you wish.  The only time that the disk is used during the game is for saving
and restoring.

On ST's, you can edit command lines with the arrow keys and other standard
editing keys.  Review Mode (which allows you to view text that has scrolled
off the screen) is activated with function key F1.  While in review mode,
you can scroll up and down by lines using the arrow keys, and by pages using
F9 and F10 as described on the review mode status line.

Saved games are stored in standard ST files, by default in the current
directory (the directory from which you start the game), so make sure
you have free disk space before you begin playing.
