│ Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom (tm) ├─┐
│ Shareware Version 2.5 by Pop Software │ │
│ │ │
│ Reporting Bugs: We appreciate your help in making sure that this │ │
│ software runs perfectly for everyone. If you encounter a problem, │ │
│ please send e-mail, or call our voice mail and leave a brief │ │
│ message. Please do not ask us to return your call unless you are │ │
│ a registered user... we do not have the staff or money to do this. │ │
│ We will respond to most e-mail messages, though. │ │
│ │ │
│ Currently, our first upload site is CompuServe, in LIB 6 of the │ │
│ IBMNEW forum. The latest BATS zip can be found there. We will also │ │
│ be posting on AOL and on some Internet FTP sites. │ │
│ │ │
│ Address: Pop Software / PO Box 60995 / Sunnyvale, CA 94088 │ │
│ CIS: 71460,2432 │ │
│ AOL: SpaceBats │ │

│ │ │
│ Troubleshooting: │ │
│ │ │
│ Make sure all files from the original BATS25.ZIP are in the │ │
│ same directory, and that you start the game from that directory. │ │
│ │ │
│ If you run the game from floppy or a very slow hard disk, you may │ │
│ notice a slow-down in the music and animation between rounds. This │ │
│ is normal. │ │
│ │ │
│ To run the game under Windows (not recommended), run it in a │ │
│ full-screen, exclusive window. You may also have to turn off │ │
│ DIGITAL FX under the SOUND menu. │ │
│ │ │
│ Some machines cannot run BATS properly with QEMM in memory. We │ │
│ believe that this problem has been eliminated in 2.5, however, │ │
│ if you encounter problems first try booting without QEMM. If this │ │
│ fixes things for you, please drop us a note or leave voice-mail. │ │
│ │ │
│ If you have problems and you are running Stacker, try running Bats │ │
│ from a non-stacker drive. │ │
│ │ │
│ Your settings are saved in a file called BATS.SET. Keyboard │ │
│ settings are in BATS.KEY, and joystick settings are in BATS.JOY. │ │
│ You can erase these files to reset the game back to its default │ │
│ state. │ │
│ │ │
│ If you are tired of seeing the intro everytime you play, choose │ │
│ INTRO in the OTHER menu from inside the game, and it will change │ │
│ to INTRO:OFF. │ │
│ │ │
│ If the game is too difficult: It always seems that way at first- │ │
│ keep playing and you will improve! Remember to move up and down │ │
│ to avoid bats that come from the sides. │ │
