Welcome,  this game was written 
entirely  in GFA  BASIC.  After 
de-arcing,  you should have the 
following files:

LABY.PRG
The program itself.
LABY.PI1
The screen in DEGAS.
LOADPIC.PRG
Program to generate the screen.
README.TXT
This file.

Before  you can run  LABY,  you 
will first have to run LOADPIC. 
This  expects to find  LABY.PI1 
in  the  same  directory,   and 
creates a file named  LABY.DAT. 
When    the    mouse    pointer 
reappears,  click either  mouse 
button to exit the program.

Now that you have LABY.DAT, you 
are ready to run LABY.

The  reason I put  LABY.PI1  in 
the archive instead of LABY.DAT 
was  so  you  could  edit   new 
screens.   LABY  uses   certain 
screen  colors to decide  where 
it is. The colors are invisible 
when  the program is  run,  but 
using DEGAS,  the colors can be 
seen.  There  are eight  bumper 
colors.  I used DEGAS to create 
the  screen,  so I figured  you 
could  create  new  screens  as 
well.  If you examine the shape 
of the color bumpers,  you will 
notice  they match the  outline 
of the ball exactly.  You  must 
follow this  format,  otherwise 
there  are no  guarantees  that 
your screen will work correctly 
with LABY.  LABY.PI1 makes  the 
format fairly self evident.

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy 
LABY!
