Insructions for playing Secession:

UNZIPPING THE FILE (sec32.zip)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will have now downloaded the demo version of Secession to your
hard-drive or you will have the demo on diskette.

Secession is zipped in....yup you got it....a zip file, which needs
to be "unzipped". To unzip the file you will need a recent version
of pkunzip( pkunzip.exe)

To unzip the file you need to firstly create a Secession directory on
your hard-disk,(Sec32). To do this type:

c:>md sec32

To unzip Secession to this directory type:

c:>pkunzip sec32.zip c:\sec32

This command will assume that the Secession zip file (Sec32.zip) is in
your route (or C:\) directory. If the file is located somewhere else
specify this is in the command. For example, if the sec32.zip file is
in your c:\windows\temp directory, you will have to type:

c:\windows\temp>pkunzip sec32.zip c:\sec32
or
c:>pkunzip c:\windows\temp\sec32.zip c:\sec32

The file will unzip and your demo version of Secession is now playable.

STARTING THE GAME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Windows 95......
================

If you are running the Windows 95 operating system, then go to the start
menu and select "run". This will create a window in which you should type
the following:

c:\sec32\sec32  (This starts the sec32.exe file in your sec32 directory)

Alternatively you can go to the MS-Dos prompt and type:

c:>cd sec32
c:\sec32>sec32

Windows 3.x.....
================

Select "file" and then the option "run". Again type in the same commands
as above and the game should kick into life.

PLAYING THE GAME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first screen you arrive at after the Secession logo is the game option
screen. From here you can choose your option by typing in the corresponding
number. To play the game you need to type in the number 1.

By typing number 1, you will be asked to create a pilot by entering your
first and last name. This is entered into a database which records your
performance and enables you to play this pilot again at some point in the
future.

Having created the pliot, you will be taken into the main lounge. In front
of you is a window to the solar system. Use the mouse to navigate in and
out of the three 3D rooms.

MAIN LOUNGE
===========

This is the first room you will enter and in front of you, you will be able
to see a planet through the zemac window. To the left of the screen there
are two computers with chairs in front. The left-side computer is a data-
base which will give you the crucial stats on the ship you will be flying.
The right-side computer is a record which will give you information on your
rank and mission stats. To the left hand side of the main lounge you will
find a room called the "quarters" and on your right hand side, there is
another room called the "breifing".

QUARTERS
========

This room enables you to awaken a pilot by clicking with the mouse on a bed.
By using this you can take up a stage in the secessionary war where you last
exited.

BREIFING
========

This is where you go to launch your ship. Inside the breifing there is a
background board where you can read the background to the mission. This is
crucial in explaining your mission objectives.
You will also find a hologram in the breifing which specifies what the
targets will be in the mission.
To launch your ship, go to the right hand side of the screen where the cursor
says launch and click with your left hand mouse button.
