Bowling, By John Kreitlow
In Association with RADIUM-V, Inc (That's my little 486X)
Based on "Bowlin'" for the TI-83 by Acme Software

        Well, here it is!  RADIUM-V's very first game released for the PC!
Bowling requires (based on RADIUM-V):

   33MHz Intel 486X (Estimate, has NOT been tested)
   MS-DOS(It has been tested up to WinXP, Not Mac)
   1b RAM  (Estimate, has NOT been tested)
   VGA 320x200 (NOT compatible with Intel Integrated Graphics cards)
   Keyboard

NOTE: On faster/newer computers, the speed may be fast or slow, for no reason.
Older computers don't seem to have the problem.  If problems persist, I reccommend
using SlowDOS, a utility that slows down older games tailored for older computers
(yes, this game was made this year, but it was made on an old computer :).  This game
was meant to be played in DOS Mode, but should work just fine in Windows.

RADIUMV1.ZIP INCLUDES:
   BOWLING.EXE                  -BOWLING!
   README.TXT                   -This document
   BOWLING.HSR                  -Will be created after starting BOWLING.EXE,
                                        It is the Highscore
   REGISTER.FRM                 -Newsletter form, email it for special stuff!
   ERROR.FRM                    -Problems?  email it!

It has been tested on many types of graphics cards, and it appears not to work on the INTEL Integrated Graphics chipsets.  It will run, but after exiting, the screen goes blank and the system must be reset.  It is NOT recommended to play on a system with that card.  Fill out ERROR.FRM if you have a different card and it does what is described.

You can edit "BOWLING.HSR" to stump your friends!  It's fun to set the score
to 324 and your name and watch your buddies get frustrated...

	This is version 1.  The original BETA version had a speed meter, but due to
compatibility, it was dumped at the last minute.  Oh, well.  Next time...  Now the speed
is determined on score; the higher the score, the faster the ball.

BOWLING.EXE IS FREEWARE, MEANING EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN  "Radiumv1.zip" IS DISTRIBUTED WITHOUT CHARGE.  BUT, IF YOU GIVE IT OUT, EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN "Radiumv1.zip" MUST BE SENT TOGETHER.  ALSO, NO FILE (except BOWLING.HSR) MAY BE EDITED IN ANY WAY.  THEY MAY BE VIEWED AND EXAMINED, BUT CHANGING ANY FILE IN "Radiumv1.zip" AND DISTRIBUTING IT UNDER YOUR NAME IS A VIOLATION OF
THIS DISCLAIMER AND IS VERY IMMORAL AND JUST PLAIN RUDE.  AND, SELLING ANY FILE IN "Radiumv1.zip" IS ALSO RUDE.  And if I find out, I will send you a very nasty e-mail and discontinue your newsletter(if you have one).
