Version 2 of "Crossing the Red Sea" contains many improvements
and new features over version 1.  The entire perspective of the
view is changed to a more natural one.  The crossing now takes
place at night, as the biblical narrative describes and the
journey progresses toward the sunrise (east) rather than the
sunset.  A new scene has been added to represent the last half
of the crossing and the land on the other side.  The entire
animation sequence at the end of the game is new.  The graphics
in the title screen have been improved and theme music, taken
from a Hebrew folk song, has been added.  The music and sound
effects can be silenced by pressing F7 during the title sequence.
Animation has been improved by having the stars twinkle and the
sea sparkle at times.  In preparation for the addition of extra
question modules, the F10 key allows the user to select which
questions to use.  The players can elect to mix up the order of
players in a random fashion to minimize arguments between young
players.  The range of question values is now 1-12 instead of 1-6
and the total is a percent of the way across.  The program no
longer runs on CGA or monochrome because of some of the animation
requirements.  Random replies are made to right and wrong answers
to keep interest up.  An early-registration discount has been
implemented on a trial basis.  More questions have been added at
the lower levels so that there is less repetition.  The INSTALL
program has been enhanced to create a short RS.BAT file in the
root directory so that the user can access the game from anywhere
simply by typing RS.
        We appreciate any suggestions that would help to improve
future versions.
