Space Explorer is a screen saver where various planets
and space objects fly over the screen(the window of a
space ship).

Please read through following important description before you
run setup.exe:


A). What will be installed by setup.exe?

 The SETUP.EXE will copy five files into your windows directory:

 space.src      -- The main executable file of Space Explorer;
 space.txt      -- Documentation file;

 collide.wav    -- Wave file required for collision sound effect;
 space_0.wav      -- Wave files required for background music; 
 space_1.wav

 planet0.bmp
 - planet14.bmp -- BMP files for space objects; 

 If the package includes the utility, Savervisor,  the SETUP.EXE 
 will copy five files into the directory that you
 specify(the default is c:\saverv):

  saverv.exe - The executable file of Savervisor ;
  readme.txt - this file;
  saverv.txt - More information about Savervisor;
  utility1.dll - An utility file required by Savervisor.

 If Savervisor is included, the setup.exe will also
 copy
   
   saver.exe  -- Executable file for Savervisor;
   saver.txt  -- Documentation file for Savervisor;
 in to the directory that you specify and copy

   utility1.dll -- Utility file for Savervisor;
 in to directory c:\windows\system.

  SETUP.EXE WILL NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGE TO YOUR COMPUTER.
 


B). Environment requirement: 

 - VBRUN300.DLL;
 - A sound card is recommended;

C). How to install?

 "Step By Step" instructions for installation:

  1). Download the latest version of space.zip and
      VBRUN300.DLL(if you don't have one in your system);
  2). Copy space.zip into a temporary directory, say c:\tmp;
  3). Unzip space within c:\tmp using pkunzip.exe;
  4). Run c:\tmp\setup.exe from File Manager(double click at the
      icon of c:\tmp\setup.exe);
  5). If this package includes a utility, Savervisor, you will be
      asked to key in the directory where Savervisor will be installed.
      You need to either key in you own directory or use the default 
      one. If the package does not include Savervisor, you will not see the
      dialog.
  6). The setup program will then ask you choose from one of following
         a). Run the saver now;
         b). Setup the saver now;
         c). Exit to Windows now;
       You need to choose one of them.
    Note: if you choose (click at) the first choice, "Run the
saver now",
          please don't move or click your mouse after click at
the choice.
          Otherwise, you will disable the saver right after you
enable it.

  If you like setup or test the saver that you have installed,
please open
  the Desktop of Windows Control Panel, select the saver from
Screen Saver
  section, and test or setup the saver.

D). TroubleShooting:

    Q:  I have downloaded your screen saver recently 
        and I was having a problem with getting it to work
properly.  
        After initializing I get a message "... caused a general 
        protection fault in module VGA.DRV at 0001:0ca2". 
  
    A:  Changed your screen driver in winsetup to SVGA.
