- ESCAPE from Commodore!!!
-
- A game for the Commodore Installer Utility
-
- Written by Greg Simon, (5/6/93)

-
- DISCLAIMER: This game is for free distrubution, and possible inclusion
- in libraries such as the Fred Fish collection. Neither myself, or
- anyone else mentioned within this game is responsible for anything that
- happens to your system when this script is interpreted/compiled.
-
- Welcome to the first game written in Commodore Installer ! I hope you
- like it, it's not too complex, but it is *very* clever, if I dare do say
- so myself.
-
-
- ************************** HOW DO I RUN IT? ****************************
-
- You will need Commodore's installer (at least version 1.24) to run this,
- you might already have it. If you've bought any commercial software in
- the last year or so, it was probably included. Also, I hear that it's
- included with the 3.0 OS...but I wouldn't know that. :-/
-
- Unpack the archive (chances are you already did that) and double click
- on the icon! Oh, make sure that the installer binary is in the path.
- If it isn't, no problem, just edit the icon-info and set the path.
-
- For example, unpack the binary in your ram disk (ram:), copy the
- installer binary from where ever you have it into ram: (if it isn't in
- the path) and double click the icon. Simple, right? (I hope)
-
-
- ********** WHY WOULD SOMEONE WRITE A GAME IN INSTALLER? ************
-
- I was writing some installer scripts for some commercial software which
- I had that *didn't* use the installer program, and I thought ..hey! this
- could actually make a really interesting game writing platform (just
- kidding).
-
- I guess the only good purpose this could serve is as an example for
- writing installer scripts. Let me take this opportunity to complement
- Commodore on such a fine utility as Installer.
-
-
- *** TECH STUFF ********************************************************
-
- The Installer is simply a LISP interpreter, with the output functions
- borrowed from C. It of course is more than this, it includes many very
- useful macros for doing "installing" type operations, like building
- GUI's on the fly for manipulating directories, etc. Check it out!
-
-
- This game is simply a script for the installer program, the Installer
- thinks it's installing somthing.
