Because I don't want to forget how to programm with Swift! Basic, I made a 
new game which is named BEAMS.
BEAMS looks like a mixture of INVADERS and BRICKS. Like in INVADERS there 
are shooting enemies and on the other hand you must destroy bricks.
In the game is a function which is cribed from the well-known TV series
"Startrek" (in Germany: Raumschiff Enterprise). That spaceship has a builtin
machine which enables the transfer of dead or alive material without loose
of time. In the german version of Startrek, this is described as "beamen".
Well, now you will know, where the name of the game comes from.

The detailed functions of the game are described in the game itself. Press 
"Y" after the "Do you need instructions?" prompt and all possible keystrokes
will be explained.

This software is postcardware. That means if you decide to use the programms
after a few days of trial, the author expects a postcard from your home town.
Don't disappoint me, and send your postcard to following adress:

                Joerg Wernz
                Kornblumenstrasse 12
                89520 Heidenheim

                Germany


Registered users will be informed about the hidden keys with which the player
has the possibility to gain more lifes, more beams and how to start the
practice mode. I didn't describe these functions in the documentation in 
order to increase the incentive to register. 

The first game (SENSO), I uploaded to Compuserve at the beginning of 
september has been downloaded up to now (end of october) over 80 times. But
only 1 (in words: one) postcard has reached me. (Thanks to James Cummiskey).
I and my daughter, we are very disapointed. I, because only a few persons
enjoy SENSO and my daughter because she's collecting stamps and didn't
recieve any. We hope this will change in future.

If you want to distribute the programms to friends or other people, do this.
But in this case you must distribute the entire package "SENSO.ZIP".
The entire package includes the following files:

                README.TXT
                SWIFT!.OVL
                BEAMS.EXM

IMPORTANT
*****************************************************************************
The file swift!.ovl is very important. This file includes the runtime 
library of Swift! Basic. Without this file, neither SENSO.EXM nor 
BIORHYT.EXM will run!
*****************************************************************************

SWIFT!.OVL is copyright by Weber/Zemanek, Wien, 1991,92


IMPORTANT
*****************************************************************************
It's forbiden to modify any of the files!!!

Last but not least, I have to describe how to install the programm.
Copy BEAMS.EXM to your HP95. You may install it on your 
C: drive or on a ramcard on your A: drive. You can install it in the 
root as well as in any subdirectory.

Copy SWIFT!.OVL to your HP95. This file must be placed in the 
root directory of your A:- or C: drive.
(SWIFT!.OVL could be dieted.)

If you already have Swift! Basic or only the file SWIFT!.OVL installed,
you need not to copy the SWIFT!.OVL file to your HP95.

Next you must modify your APNAME.LST. If BEAMS.EXM has been
installed on the C: drive, edit your C:\_DAT\APNAME.LST else edit 
A:\APNAME.LST using the builtin memo editor.
Enter the following line in the APNAME.LST:

                <path>\BEAMS.EXM,3000,BEAMS

The variable <path> in the above two lines must be replaced with the drive
and path where the EXM file had been installed. E.g.:

                C:\GAMES\BEAMS.EXM,3000,BEAMS

This line will tell the HP95 that BEAMS can be invoked by pressing
ALT B.

Now you must reboot the HP95. Close all applications and then press 
CTRL-ALT-DEL at the same time.

After reboot, press ALT B to start BEAMS.

I've tested the software more than one times. But nobody is perfect. If you
have problems contact me on CompuServe (CIS: 100114,2062)

Have a good time !!!!!
