OKAY, so here is where the real text document begins!!!

IMPORTANT:
If you got this game off the Internet, make sure you run the install
program.  If you don't the game won't run!!  For best results,
copy/unzip all of the files into a temp directory, and from there
install it to the directory you wish!

ALSO IMPORTANT:
If ever you what to change the directory of Probe don't copy all the
files to the new directory.  All you need to do is run the install
program and have it install the files to the new directory.  Then you
can delete the old probe directory.

Information on running this Game:
 (This assumes Probe is installed on "c:\probe")
   1)  If you are running DOS then:
       a)  Type "cd\probe" then [Enter]
       b)  Type "Probe" then [Enter]

   2)  If you are running Windows 3.x or less:
       a)  Goto FILE/RUN
       b)  Type "c:\probe\probe.bat" <ENTER>
   
   3)  If you are running Windows 95:
       a)  Goto START/RUN
       b)  Type "c:\probe\probe.bat" <ENTER>
    
   4)  If you followed all this and can run the game you ARE COOL!
          
Here is your mission!
   1)  FLY your Probe over the dangerous rocky mountins of different planets.
   2)  Don't crash your Probe into the rocks.
   3)  Try to land on the RED landing pads, go for the highest points to win.
   4)  It's not cool to crash on the rocks!
   5)  If you run low on fuel, gas up by landing on the GREEN landing pads.
   6)  Did I mention don't CRASH yet?
   7)  That is about it!
   8)  No more instuctions here!
   9)  Go away!


Here is how to control your Probe
   1)  Press the UP ARROW on the keyboard to project your Probe UP.
   2)  Press the LEFT ARROW on the keyboard to hover your Probe LEFT.
   3)  Press the RIGHT ARROW on the keyboard to fly your Probe RIGHT.
   4)  You can also glid your Probe down by pressing the DOWN ARROW.
   5)  When playing tap the keys to give it gas.  Don't hold the key down.
   6)  It is pretty simple!
   7)  While on the MENU use the UP & DOWN ARROW keys to move the selector.
   8)  Press the ENTER key to select something while in the MENU.
   9)  Press the ESC key to go to the previous MENU.
   10) Press the ESC during game play to see the MENU.
   11) Press ESC again to go back to the game!

Extra things to read about
   1)  If you're in the middle of a game and you want to turn the sound off
       press the ESC key so the MENU comes up.  Move the selector to OPTIONS.
       Press ENTER. Move the selector to SOUND.  Press ENTER. Press ENTER
       again to turn the sound back on.
   2)  If you are in the middle of a game and you press the ESC key only
       select OPTIONS, SCORE, or ABOUT. Don't select anything else unless
       you want to start a new game (your game you were previously playing
       will erase).
   3)  blah, blah, blah!


HOW TO USE THE LEVEL EDITOR!!!!

	Alright, this editor suck to use but dangit, it is QBasic!
start up the LEVEL editor by selecting it at the MAIN MENU in PROBE.  When 
you are in the editor press ENTER to open up the pice selector.  
Use the ARROW keys to move the selector around.  Press ENTER when done!  
Press the SPACE bar to place the pice on the screen!  Use the ARROW keys 
to move around the screen!  Make sure you have a starting posistion 
(the picture of the probe) and atleast one RED landing pad and GREEN pad.
Press ESC to bring up the MENU and save the level!
DON'T DELETE A LEVEL USING DOS OR WINDOWS OR ANY KIND OF OPERATING SYSTEM!!
To delete a level use the Delete Level in the level editor!  Just select
the level, you want to delete, using the arrow keys!  Then press Enter!
Then Press "Y" for YES or "N" for NO!

1)  To pick a pice, press the [Enter] key.
2)  To place the pice, press the Space Bar.
3)  To delete a pice, press the [Delete] key. (Some keyboards = [Del] key.)
4)  To bring up the menu, press the [Esc] key.

SAVING A LEVEL:
  Bring up the menu [ESC] then select Save.
  Use the [Backspace] key to erase "newlev".
  Type in the name of your new level name.
  Press [Enter].
  Use the left and right arrow keys to select the difficulty level.
  Press [Enter].

ORGANIZE:
  The left side of files have to be emtpy
  before you can BUILD!
  BUILD simply reorders the files.
