                               Description
=============================================================================

 A VGA puzzle game that will stretch your grey stuff to it's limits. Following
the basic levels-get-harder formula, TRI offers a new level of gameplay
by inventing fresh new puzzles for you to tackle each time. 25 different 
levels, liquid animation using sharp  640*480*16 VGA graphics and a  cool 
shadow all add up to spectacular visuals. Other bits of TRI include: 
puzzle solver - shows you how to complete each puzzle if you get stuck ; 
Demo - Watch your PC hoon through the game by itself (also good for learning 
how to play) ; and a highscore table.

==============================================================================
                                Shareware
==============================================================================

 This game is shareware. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this  
concept, here is a brief definition: 

 Shareware is a way of selling software without the need for a middleperson
(e.g. retailer) which makes it very cheap. The main idea behind shareware is
that you can try it out for a while (three weeks) before you decide whether 
or not to buy it. You can copy it as much as you like and GIVE it to as many 
people as you like as long as you comply with the following rules:

-1-
You must not charge any money, or any sort of payment when you pass it on
to someone else. Shareware distributors may only charge a fee for the 
distribution.

-2- 
You must not edit, decompile, or disassemble this game in any way.

-3-   ***To the distributor***
When you advertise this game you must make sure that it is fully understood 
that this game is shareware, stressing the 'try before you buy' concept.


 If you think TRI is a groovy game, and want to keep it for more more than
the three weeks trial period, please send a registration fee and keep 
shareware alive.

==============================================================================
                          Changes in version 1.4
==============================================================================

 There was a very annoying bug in v1.2. If you were playing TRI at the very 
moment that your PC's clock changed hour, you were falsly awarded 3600
points! This happened because TRI thought that the time had gone from 59:59
to 00:00, which is read as -3600 seconds. Score minus negative 3600 points = 
score + 3600. Bummer! Anyway, this has been fixed, so you can rest assured 
that your score is a true representation of your TRI skills. 
 Another small(ish) bug was that when you finished all 25 levels, the 
program quit (sorry). This has also been fixed. 
 The only difference between 1.4 and 1.3 is that when you quit, the 
text picture is different( and nicer, I hope).
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To play TRI, type GO [Enter].

P.S. The name TRI refers to the three red balls on the Spinny thing. Instead
of typing TRI, type TRI Shadow, TRI Blocky, or TRI Blood to get some cool
effects. If you want to skip to later levels, type TRI jazz, TRI fish, 
TRI smile, or TRI daisys (the last level, but your score will not be 
recorded).

-Enjoy!-
