* Note for DOSBox users *

This software is fully installed and configured to run in the DOSBox emulator.
You can simply drag and drop the file SPLANET.BAT over the DOSBox icon to
start playing. Experienced DOSBox users may choose other methods of startup.

The software was configured and tested to work with the official DOSBox build
v0.74-3 available from www.dosbox.com. It may or may not work with any other
third-party DOSBox distributions that are available.

For playing instructions and other information, please refer to the readme.txt
file found in the SPDEMO directory.
==============================================================================
* Note on changing the screen resolution *

Scorched Planet can run in two resolution modes: 320x200 and 640x400. Using
the low resolution mode might improve performance at the cost of lower image
detail.

The demo as provided here is configured to run in the default low resolution.
To change to 640x400, open the file SPLANET.INI that is located in the SPDEMO
directory in any text editor and find the following line:

settings= 1 2 1 0 3 95 127 0 0 5 320

Change this to:

settings= 1 2 1 0 3 95 127 0 0 5 640

Then save and close SPLANET.INI. The game will now run in high resolution. It
is recommended to set DOSBox to emulate maximum CPU cycles for this mode.
