MicroMan is an arcade-action style game for Windows 3.1 developed using the
new Windows Animation Package (WAP), also developed by Brian Goble.

The object of MicroMan is to move, jump, duck, climb and shoot your way past
the enemies while exploring new areas and collecting special powerups!

MicroMan, by using WAP, brings the quality of a DOS based game to the Windows
environment.  This release of MicroMan serves the purpose of demonstrating
the capabiltities and potential of WAP.  See the MICROMAN.TXT file for more
detailed information.

This version of MicroMan is FreeWare.  You are free to distribute it as long
as all files are included in their unmodified forms.

The MicroMan archive should contain the following files:

   * MICROMAN.EXE
   * MICROMAN.IMG
   * MICROMAN.RMP
   * MICROMAN.WAV
   * MICROMAN.PG1
   * MICROMAN.PG2
   * MICROMAN.TXT
   * README.TXT

System requirements and recommendations for running MicroMan are:

   * Microsoft Windows 3.1  (required)
   * 2 megabytes of memory  (required)
   * 720k free disk space   (required)
   * 386DX processor        (recommended)
   * 8-bit color graphics   (recommended)
   * Sound card             (optional)

Quick Info:

   * Press F1 to view the "Quick Reference" help for MicroMan.
   * If your system is too slow, select the "Skip Frames" option under the
     "Animation" menu.
   * Sound card users, be sure to select the "Extended Sounds" option under
     the "Sound" menu.
   * All settings are saved in the MICROMAN.INI file.
   * The keypad works best for game play--make sure Num-Lock is off.  Use
     your left hand to jump with the space-bar and place your right hand over
     the keypad, with your thumb on the Ins key for firing.
   * Programmers, be sure to check out the MICROMAN.TXT file for more
     information on how MicroMan was developed.
   * If you use hDC's Micro App Manager, also called microman, you must
     rename microman.exe (from this archive) to mm.exe
