This application is a 32-bit Windows program designed for 1024x768 65k colors 
or better, Large fonts, Pentium or better. Requires OpenGL.

This program is a SHAREWARE. See  doc/a/doc_shareware.html  for details.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Simulation rules have been changed and improved... so many organisms behave 
  differently in this and former versions. This situation may also take place 
  in the future. Use old simulation model for compatibility with older versions.
* 'default.sim' keeps default ("factory") parameters for the simulator
  (good for velocity-oriented evolution). The file is always loaded on the start.
  Another sample simulator file, f-x.sim, describes more sophisticated world
  and more complex simulation rules (not intended for evolution - just to play
  with Framsticks and enjoy simulation).
* Check out the help.

Tips on fast simulation.
   To achieve the fastest evolution, turn off 'World' and 'Structure'
   windows, set 'Updates' to 1:10000, world display to 1:1000,
   turn off 'Follow' and minimize the application. Turn off screensavers
   and processor power saving.
