   SpaceWar V1.01
   --------------

   What is it?
   -----------

   SpaceWar is an outer space shoot-em-up game designed to burn cycles
   (both yours and your computer's).  It is a reconstruction of a program 
   I wrote many years ago as a demo for some hardware that filled a room.
   I decided it might be fun to see how well I could do with it on a 
   modern PC.  
   

   What's new from version 1.00
   ----------------------------

   I fixed some problems with loss of sound and program hangs.


   Running SpaceWar
   ----------------
   
   There is plenty of online help to tell you how to run the program.  It
   does require MMPM and a sound card, and it opens the sound device in 
   exclusive mode, because I couldn't get the device sharing code to work.  
   Maybe next version I'll fix that.
   
   
   Installation
   ------------
   There isn't any fancy installation procedure, just drag a program 
   object from the templates folder to wherever you want the SpaceWar 
   program object to live.  Then open the settings notebook and fill 
   in the "Path and File Name" and "Working Directory" fields.

   If you enjoy the game, please register it.  If you don't, you'll have
