Please read it carefully. 1. License ---------- Feel free to copy and to distribute BiTRIS. BiTRIS is SHAREWARE. We spent a lot of time building this fine program and so we ask for a little contribution of 10 Marks. If you are in Germany, please make a "šberweisung" to Empf„nger: Jan Egner KtoNr: 246074 BLZ: 390 500 00 Bank: Stadtsparkasse Aachen Verwendungszweck: BiTRIS If you are not in Germany, you can pay the contribution simply sending 10 Marks or an equivalent sum of money in a closed envelope to Jan C. Egner Jakobstrasse 24b D-5100 Aachen West Germany If you feel yourself too poor to send 10 Marks, or if you have serious problems sending the money (cost of sending is higher than the fee), send us a postcard with a "Thank You!". If you can afford a computer, I think that you can also afford a post- card and a stamp... 2. Distribution --------------- No fee must be charged for copying, downloading or distributing this program. It must be distributed in the original state with all of its files. The original BiTRIS package is contained in a ZIP file called: BTRIS150.ZIP and it contains the files: BITRIS.DOC This documentation BITRIS.EXE The program BITRIS.MUZ The MUZAK file MERGEHI.EXE The HiScorefile-merger Note for SysOps: Please DO NOT change the contents of BTRIS150.ZIP and DO NOT change the compressing method unless a better program than PKZIP (c) will be available. 3. Playing BiTRIS ----------------- BiTRIS is a two player Tetris. If you know how to play Tetris, you know also how to play BiTRIS. If you don't know how to play Tetris, please learn it before you try to play BiTRIS. [GRIN] Copy simply all the BiTRIS files in a subdirectory and start the program typing BITRIS followed by a on the DOS command line. You can start BiTRIS from any other path. BiTRIS will find its BITRIS.MUZ and BITRIS.TTL file in any case. You can get help about the key mapping and the game options simply ty- ping H in the BiTRIS MAIN MENU. 4. BiTRIS commandline options. ------------------------------------- Starting BiTRIS, you can specify some command line options. You can get help about them by typing BITRIS /HELP followed by a on the command line. /NOCOLOR forces BITRIS to use a monochrome color set even if it encounters a color adapter. This is useful for playing on some computers with a LCD screen. /COLOR forces BITRIS to use a normal color set even if it en- counters a monochrome adapter. If you find some appli- cation for this switch, please contact me. [GRIN] /PL:Name_1 This two options are useful to set a default for the /PR:Name_2 hiscore. If you make a hiscore, you will be prompted for the name of the left and right player. Setting a default, you need only to confirm by hitting the key. In the command line, spaces in the names MUST be replaced by underscores. /M:OFF Defaults Muzak OFF /M: If you have an alternate Muzak-File, you can spe- cify it here. Muzak-Files are compiled by MUZCOMP YEAsoft's MUZak compiler. You can get it from us. /G:nn Specifies a default for the garbage level. This value can be from 1 to 15 /L:nnn Specifies a starting level other than 200. The level can be from 0 to 400 /H: Specifies an alternate HiScorefile. This is use- ful if you want to administrate separate high scorefiles. It's your own responsibility to give a correct filename. If the file does not exist, BiTRIS will try to create it. 5. The program MERGEHI ---------------------- With MERGEHI you can merge 2 HiScorefiles into one. This is useful to create a HiScorefile of a little group of people interested in playing BiTRIS or for a BiTRIS Contest. If you have two or more HiScorefiles, you can merge two of them in a new one typing: MERGEHI In this way you can create a Hiscorefile with the hiscores of all of your friends. 6. The first GERMAN BITRIS OPEN ------------------------------- The First German BITRIS OPEN will start at October 27, 1989 Please contact YFTN Aachen (242/2) or Y(EA & LoCOS)FTN 2 Paderborn (242/25) for further informations. You are all invited...... [GRIN] Have fun!
