LAD - Local Area Dungeon
Version 1.01
Shareware by BCS Software
P.O. Box 923113
Sylmar, CA  91392-3113
CompuServe 73267,3361

Requires Windows 3.1.

Introduction:

  LAD is a strategy adventure game.  There is no fancy music (in fact, no
  sounds at all until I can afford a sound card) and no fancy graphics
  (I'm not much of an artist), so this would not get much attention at
  a software store.  However, I think you'll find this to be a very 
  involving game; I doubt you will not encounter a new situation even 
  after playing the same dungeon twenty times.  If there is interest, 
  I will make this into a commercial-quality game (as that is what I do 
  for a living), but I wrote this for fun, and I much prefer working on 
  the mechanics of the game, rather than its appearance (I will get some 
  artist-friends to help me.)
  
Notes:

  This is the second release of LAD, with the second dungeon.  This version
  of LAD will run the first dungeon, but you cannot run this second dungeon
  on the first version of LAD.  You also cannot use characters from the
  first version.  If you want to play the first (easier) dungeon and can
  not find it where you found this, send an extra $3 to the above address
  and you will be sent a disk.

  This version fixes a few minor bugs (mainly when dealing with large 
  amounts of gold), adds a number of new game features, new spells, a few
  cosmetic changes, and more help.  One big change is that there is now an
  extensive rating system when (or if) you complete the quest, and the top
  ten scores are displayed in a logical order (sorry, the honor roll from
  version 1.00 is ignored).  There are also now menu selections that
  allow you to equip and unequip quickly.

  This version is also a little more annoying until you have registered.
  If you have registered the previous version you should not need to 
  re-register.  Remember that your registration will ensure continuing
  development, including the fabled dungeon construction kit.

Installation:

  The following installation will over-write the first dungeon, if it has
  been previously installed.  Save all of the files that start with LADDATA
  to save the first dungeon.

  Sorry, no automated installation program has been included.  You should
  create a directory for all LAD files, and copy them into it.  From
  within Windows, click once on your "Games" window or icon, then select
  "New" from the "File" menu.  Select "New Item", then click on "OK".
  Click on "Browse", then use the file requester to find "LAD.EXE".
  Double-click on "LAD.EXE".  Click on "OK", and the LAD icon should 
  appear in your "Games" window.  Double-click on the "Lad" icon to start
  the game.  On-line instructions are available from the "Help" menu.

Distribution:

  LAD is not freely-distributable.  This version may be duplicated and
  distributed on a not-for-profit basis only.  Registered non-profit
  organizations (users groups, etc.) may include this program on low-cost
  disks.  Other distributors of shareware software (including periodicals,
  publications and clubs) must get permission from Mike Berro, which will
  most likely be forthcoming in return for a copy of the disk and/or
  periodical.  This program must not be posted on any for-profit BBS
  without my permission, except CompuServe (where I can be reached
  at 73267,3361).
