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"
===================

If you prefer to install Missile Master manually, the
