Missile Master v2.50 -------------------- Copyright (c) 1993 Nisus Development & Technology Missile Master is Shareware. It is not Freeware or Public Domain. As such, you are required to register this software if you make continued use of it, usually longer than 30 days. In addition to the benefits of becoming a registered user, you will feel good (I hope) about supporting the Shareware concept. I'm not making a living at writing shareware, but a little encouragement in the form of registrations will allow me to continue writing fine pieces of software for all to enjoy. For more information on registering, please see the on- line help from within the game or refer to the end of this document. ====================== Disclaimer of Warranty ====================== THIS SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO PERFORMANCE, USEFULNESS, ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. NO WARRANTY OF FITNESS IS OFFERED. ALTHOUGH THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN TESTED VERY THOROUGHLY, THE USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF USING THE PROGRAM. THE AUTHOR ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF DATA, PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR DURING THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM. NISUS DEVELOPMENT & TECHNOLOGY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ADD, CHANGE OR REMOVE FEATURES AND PROGRAM COMPONENTS FROM THE SHAREWARE OR REGISTERED VERSION OF THIS PROGRAM WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. ================= Installation Help ================= If you have received Missile Master as a 'ZIP' file (ie: MIMA200V.ZIP), simply unzip the files to a floppy disk. Then from within Windows, choose [RUN...] from the Program Manager's [FILE] menu and type 'A:\SETUP' (or 'B:\SETUP', depending on where the disk is). Please note that Missile Master is distributed in two forms, one which includes VBRUN200.DLL and one which does not. MIMA250V.ZIP - Includes VBRUN200.DLL MIMA250.ZIP - DOES NOT include VBRUN200.DLL It is distributed this way because many people already have VBRUN200.DLL installed in their Windows directorys (all Visual Basic applications require it). If you have downloaded the Missile Master without VBRUN200.DLL and you need it, you might not have to download the other version. Many BBSs have VBRUN200.DLL available as a separate download, usually called VBRUN200.ZIP or something similar. Have a look before you waste your precious time downloading a larger file. ======================= Batch File Installation ======================= If you have problems using the Windows SETUP automated installation routine, I have provided a batch file to automate the installation. You must be logged to the directory where the batch file exists. Example (do not type quotes) type "A:" and press [ENTER] type "INSTALL" =================== Manual Installation =================== If you prefer to install Missile Master manually, the following list will let you know where to put the files: Filename Copy to ---------------------------------------------------------------- VBRUN200 DLL Your Windows System Directory COMMDLG DLL Your Windows System Directory CMDIALOG VBX Your Windows System Directory MCI VBX Your Windows System Directory SPIN VBX Your Windows System Directory THREED VBX Your Windows System Directory EXPLOSIO WAV Any Directory [directory] MISSILE WAV To [directory] LASER WAV To [directory] OHOH WAV To [directory] EMPTY WAV To [directory] SCORE WAV To [directory] AIRRAID WAV To [directory] GAMEOVE1 WAV To [directory] GAMEOVE2 WAV To [directory] BCITY WAV To [directory] BPULSE WAV To [directory] HISCORE WAV To [directory] MIRV WAV To [directory] STREAMER WAV To [directory] ARRG WAV To [directory] METBLAST MID To [directory] MISSILE EXE To [directory] MISSILE HLP To [directory] SETUP EXE Not needed for manual install SETUPKIT DLL Not needed for manual install VER DL_ Not needed for manual install MMSETUP EXE Not needed for manual install SETUP LST Not needed for manual install After this procedure, you will need to add a Program Manager icon to run Missile Master.
