      THE MAP EDITOR OF DOOMDARK'S REVENGE OF MIKE SINGLETON
____________________________________________________________________

                   VERSION 0.25             

The pack contains the files:
     -   BEE2 (bee-hackware sign)
     -   PICT (copy of original start screen)
     -   SPR1 (small sprites)
     -   SPR2 (big sprites)
     -   EGAVGA.BGI
     -   D1.SNA  (original snapshot of the game)
     -   DR_025.EXE (map editor)
and this README file.

The program needs the VGA.
This program edits map in the .SNA file of ZX-Spectrum emulators. 
The data file should be the snapshot of a game (immediately after 
start) renamed to D1.SNA. The best D1 file contains the load screen 
(with the name of author of the game).
The name of the result file is selected or D2.SNA

In the future the two possibilities are provided: 
   -  reconstruction of the name generator  
   -  cuting the possible bugs.

There's not and there won't edition of names of main persons and 
some sites (including start position of Luxor, Rothron and Tarithel), 
because of the remembrance of original game and keep the original 
end of game.

                HOW TO EDIT THE MAP:

1. First you need to load the game into the editor - option L.
2. The edition (option E) gives you the following possibilities:
    a) to look on map
    b) to see/delete/set tunnels
    c) to see/delete/set the mist
    d) to move cities and fortresses (The options GET and DROP, only).
    e) change the kind of place (following the list in the legend)
3. You can see the results of edition by the zoom option ( Z ), and 
   reset the map by ESC. The zoom views can be switched by the 
   vertical arrows. It is possible the edition in the zoom mode : 
   by use the zoom option in the edit screen. In this caseall of 
   the options of edition mode works and the help you may call by 
   S key. 
4. The edition of prefixes, midwords and suffixes ispossible. Some 
   of them are fixed, and the program controls the double name. The 
   names edition is possible only randomly - from the special set of 
   data, or by rearranging the original words.
5. After edition you can save the new version of game (option S). You 
   may rename the result file to D1.SNA and continue the edition.
   But remember!! The copy of original D1.SNA  MUST be kept in another 
   place, because this is an original source game and it could be 
   destroyed by overwriting the file! If you have the REVENGE.COM 
   (Doomdark's Revenge for PC written by Chris Wild), you may save 
   the new map as REVENGEX.COM. Simultaneously, the file DOO__XXX.SNA
   is created, for next rebuilding the map.
6. The map printer works in text mode and print the actual map in 
   the text mode.
