What is it?

     This computer-based "magazine" is aimed at anyone with any interest
     at all in developing games, animation, music, or in fact any form of
     entertainment software for IBM and compatible computers.

     This magazine can be run from floppy disk, space permitting, or from
     your hard disk.  It can exist in any directory, however as this is a
     monthly publication, keeping each issue in a seperate directory is
     highly recommended.

     If installing on a hard disk, the following directory structure is
     suggested:

     \MAGAZINE             - base level directory, empty for now
          \00000001        - issue 1 files
          \00000002        - issue 2 files
          .. etc ..

     To view the magazine, change to the drive and/or directory in which
     you have installed the files, and execute the batch file 'RUNME'.


Hardware Requirements:

     This magazine should execute faultlessly on just about any machine in
     existence.  Please let me know if you have any problems.  Programs
     bundled with the magazine may have specific hardware requirements
     and these will be mentioned within the magazine and/or documentation
     contained in those programs.


Distribution Information:

     This product is public domain, meaning you can distribute the files
     as much as you like.  Software "bundled" with the magazine may not be
     public domain and you are advised to check the documentation which
     comes with this software.

     Shareware distributors are allowed to charge for this magazine, but
     only an amount which reasonably covers the costs of duplication.
     No charge should be made for the magazine itself.  Bulletin boards
     are encouraged to offer this magazine for public download.


Contacting the author:

     Please see the magazine for full contact details.


Unpacking the archive and viewing the magazine:
        
     You should have received an executable file, called UNPACKME.EXE.
     Copy this file to the desired destination drive and/or directory
     and execute this program.  This will automatically unpack the files.
     This file can then be removed or moved to another drive and/or
     directory for safekeeping.

     When the files have been unpacked, execute the 'RUNME.BAT' file to
     view the magazine.
