*** Mr. Fixit ***
version 0.12

* Revision History
    0.12 Added "skinability" to the game screen. Fixed a few bugs that
    popped up during the switch to the Allegro WIP.

    0.1 Initial beta release.

* Requirements:

    586 66MHz processor or faster
    SVGA video card and monitor capable of 640x480x256
    8 MB ram
    A DPMI host (i.e., CWSDPMI.EXE under Dos, no needed under Windows)
    (I'm guessing about these requirements.)

* Quick Start

    Unzip the archive into a new directory (e.g., \fixit). Run mrfixit.exe
    Click 'Play'. There is online help in the game, just click the question
    mark icon. If you want more info on the game, read manual.txt. 

* Installation:

    Unzip the archive into a new directory and you're all set.

    You should have the following files

        mrfixit.exe   -- the game executable
        fixit.dat     -- game data
        gamehelp.hlp  -- online help data
        edithelp.hlp  -- online help data
        default.set   -- the standard level set

        readme.txt    -- you're reading it
        manual.txt    -- comprehensive documentation for the game 
        editor.txt    -- comprehensive documentation for the edit
        password.txt  -- passwords for all the levels

        *.bck         -- backdrops for the game
        *.skn         -- `skins' for the game border

* Command line options:

        Run the sound setup program
