Non Ex Terra
Kyle Petersen

-----------------------------------

Ok, I'm not much of a documention writer, so just bear with me...

Non Ex Terra (NET) is a text adventure game in the tradition of Legend Of
the Red Dragon (LORD). It can do many of the things the LORD can do, (eg.
fighting enemies, buying and selling armour and weapons, banking, advancing
up the levels, etc.) It CANNOT do multi-player and modem play.

   I am throwing this program out into the wide world of basic programmers so
that others can use it as the framework for their own text games. Take a look
at the enemy files (bad.dt?), see how easy it is to change the bad guys 
attributes. Now look at the other files, each of them are easy to understand
text files.

   Note that this is a beta of NET so don't expect everything to work 
perfectly, but I am pretty sure I have most of the bugs ironed out. 

Feel free to use this for whatever you like. Although it would be nice if
you include me in your credits. :)

Some things to know when making your own .DPF file.

Commands:

BL - Blank line.
DS - Display whatever is in the following quotation marks.
CM - Make and display a new command. 
      Usage: CM [HOTKEY], [MESSAGE].  Where [HOTKEY] is one character and
      [MESSAGE] is the message that goes with the hotkey.
      Eg. CM L, "%f?L%f7ook around."

String Enhancers: (Use these inside a string to do fancy stuff.)
%f - Change the foreground color.
      Usage: %f[c] where [c] is the color from 1 to 15. 
      Note that values from 10 to 15 are 
      (10 - :) (11 - ;) (12 - <)  (13 - =) (14 - >) (15 - ?)
      Eg. %f7 or %f>
%b - Change the background color.
      Usage: %b[c] where [c] is the color from 1 to 7.
%q - Print a quotation mark. This is necessary because just putting a " in
      your file will signify a beginning or end of a string.
      Usage: %q
      Eg. "This is a %qString%q." (This will print: This is a "String".)
%n - New line. This will create a new line (carriage return/line feed.)
      Usage: %n
