|Ad·Astra| by Ray Loades-Bannon
+--------+
Ad·Astra is a version of the classic arcade game 'Asteroids' for the Acorn
Archimedes. Save the asteroid belt from the forces of not-so-good computing,
etc. The game play is hopefully self-explanatory, so this file just
describes the keys used to control the game.

NOTES
-----
Brave souls can delve in !Ad·Astra.Constants to change the keys, though the
instruction screen will not change to follow suit).
Yes, it is meant to sound like Ad(vert) Asteroids and those are
Apple saucers. If I could have thought of an appropriate graphic there would
have been Hewlett Packard saucers too.
