				Instructions
				------------
1) SEEDS supports CGA, EGA/VGA, and Hercules - otherwise it will display in
   text mode, without icons. You can run SEEDS with or without a mouse, but
   you won't be able to use the design pad, AND you need to press <Enter> on
   the window or icon you want to activate: to get there, use <Shift><F6>;
   see item (3) below.
2) This is a compressed version of SEEDS. To uncompress: enter the command
   UNPACK [drive:]\[directory]. Where [drive:] is any drive other than the one
   this disk is in, and [directory] already exists. This will put the following
   files in the specified drive and directory :
	SEEDS.EXE (program)	NATIVES.DAT (data)  REGISTER.DOC (registration)
				SITE.DAT (data)   
   Keep all four files in the same drive and directory.
3) SEEDS windows conform to IBM's Systems Application Architecture (SAA) 
   Common User Interface (CUA). Typical key assignments are :
       <Enter>  = Select Item/Option
	  <F1>  = Help
   <Shift><F3>  = Exit Application
   <Shift><F6>  = Next (child) Window
     <Alt><F4>  = Close Window [* Exit SEEDS]
     <Alt><F7>  = Move Window
     <Alt><F8>  = Size Window	 
     <Alt><F10> = Maximize/Restore Window
4) To run SEEDS, type SEEDS and press <Enter>.
5) If you need help at any point, press <F1>.
6) Have fun!
				Philosophy
				==========

1) You are what you eat : SEEDS plants are wild and free. 
2) Which will tell you more : a man after 50 years of learning, or a plant 
   after 50,000 years of living?
3) Mass agriculture creates mass armies.
4) The revolution is in your own backyard.
