                             Game/Editor Package
                                 Version 1.1
                    
                  Written by Brian Futrell June 1991-Jan. 1992
                   Based upon a game concept by Greg Reasoner.

Requirments:
     IBM or compatable with 512k
     1 floppy drive (low or high density)
     EGA card with 256k memory
     
Objective:
     To get all of the coins off of the board all the while avoiding contact 
     with the guardians of the level.  Once all of the gold is taken, climb
     the exit ladder to advance to the next level.  Also, opprotunities for
     recieving extra points and teleports may appear on a level.

Loading the Game:
     To load the game, change to the drive and directory that the game is
     in.  Make sure that the following files are in the directory:
          BIFPRESE.BPx     Presentation bit plane files
          DDPACK.BPx       Title bit plane files     
          DDSHPS.BPx       Shape bit plane files     
          DDANH.DTA        Data for game help
          DANxx.SCR        Board levels     
          DDAN.EXE         Game file
     
     Note: The "x" character in the file represents a number.
     Note: The game program requires that all of the bit plane files have to
     be present in order for it to run.
     
     Type in DDAN and choose one of these options:
          /lxx             Makes xx the highest board number
          /a               Searches through the disk and finds the highest
                           board number
          /?               displays the options available when loading DDAN
     If DDAN is entered by itself, the highest board number will be 14.
     
     When the game loads, it stores the status of the CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK,
     SCROLL LOCK and INS keys and sets the NUM LOCK to ON.  Please do not
     toggle it back off.  NUM LOCK has to be on in order for movement to work 
     properly, and the game will set it back to its previous position when
     control returns to DOS.

      Men: The amount of men left, not including the one being used.                                         
      Ports: The amount of Teleporters left.
      Teleport Time: The amount of time left when teleporting.
        The playing field shows only half of the board at one time.  When
      the player reaches within 5 lines of the top or bottom half of the
      screen the program will update the playing field.  There are three
      sections to the board.  The Top screen shows the top half of the 
      screen.  The Middle screen shows the bottom half of the Top screen
      combined with the top half of the Bottom screen.

Game Keys:     
     <8>, <2>, <4>, <6>  Moves the player in the direction specified.
     <5>              Stops the player.
     <Z>, <X>         Digs a hole in diggable gound left or right.     
     <E>xit game      Quits current game and returns to the Options menu.
     <T>eleport       Allows the player to teleport anywhere on the screen.
                    First, if the are no more teleports left, the player
                    dies automatically.  If there is a teleport present
                    the cursor keys move the player around and the <5> key
                    stops the player.  The teleport will end then the time
                    expires or either of the digging keys are pressed.
                      If the player teleports in a wall of either type, a
                    death's head, or an enemy, the player dies.
     <V>iew Board     This allows flipping through the board, seeing exactly
                    where the guardians are in relation to the player.  The
                    <1>, <2>, and <3> keys are the top, middle and bottom of 
                    the board, respectively.  Pressing <ESC> returns to the 
                    game.
     <H>elp           This shows point values, shape definitions and keys
                    used in both the game and the editor.  The keys used 
                    by the <V>iew Board function are also used by the
                    <H>elp function.
     <D>ie            The player commits suicide.  This is done when the
                    player is stuck.

Editor:
       The editor allows you to create new boards or change existing ones.
     If the original boards are to be edited, please keep a backup copy.
     Almost all of the shapes used in the game are available in the editor, 
     the exceptions being the teleports and the cross.
     
     <F1>   Blank
     <F2>   Solid Wall        Non-diggable
     <F3>   Diggable Wall     Self-explanatory
     <F4>   Ladder
     <F5>   Exit Ladder       Appears only after all of the gold is taken
     <F6>   Catwalk
     <F7>   Gold
     <F8>   Player            Limit of one on the board
     <F9>   Enemy             Limit of 6 on the board
     <F10>  Death's Head      Kills on contact
NEW  <I>    Invisible Wall      Creates a wall that is invisible during 
                              gameplay until either the player or an enemy 
                              makes contact with it.  (Shape: Yellow Wall 
                              with Black "I" in editor, invisible/Solid Wall
                              in game)
NEW  <A>    Fake Wall           Creates a wall that is visible but anything 
                              will fall through it.  (Shape: Pink Wall in
                              editor, Solid Wall in game)
NEW  <R>    Egress              Allows the player to immediately exit to the 
                              next level, reguardless of the amount of gold 
                              collected.  (Shape: Green Triangle)

     <8>, <2>, <4>, <6>  Moves the cursor in the direction specified.
     <SPACE>          Toggles the marker.  When the marker is on, the 
                    current shape is placed beneath the crosshair.  When 
                    the marker is off, the crosshair moves normally.
     <B>ox            Creates a box of a specified shape.  When making a box,
                    the original cursor position is one corner of the box.
                    The other cormer is the current cursor position.  When
                    satisfied with the size of the box, press RETURN.
                    Then select a shape to use by pressing one of the 
                    F-keys or <C> for the current shape.  Pressing <ESC> 
                    will abort the procedure at any time.  This function 
                    will not make boxes with Players or Enemies (guardians).
     <F>illed Box     Creates a filled box of a specified shape.  Otherwise,
                    this function is exactly like <B>ox.
NEW  <T>port.         This creates a linked pair of Fixed-place Teleporters.
                    Fixed-place Teleporters are stationary blocks that allow
                    instant placement from one location to another.  Up to
                    ten pairs can be made, and when you erase one, the other
                    of the pair will be deleted also.  (Shape: Bullseye)
     <D>isk           Enters the disk function mode.  From here you can save
                    or load a level.  To specify a level number, use the
                    following keys:

                    <Home>   Increase Level by 10
                    <End>    Decrease Level by 10
                    <PgUp>   Increase Level by 1
                    <PgDn>   Decrease Level by 1
                    <RETURN> Selects the level
                    Pressing <ESC> twice during the level select will abort
                    the disk operation.

                      If a level that is not on the disk is specified when
                    loading, the program will abort the procedure.  If a
                    level that is already on the disk is specified when saving,
                    confirmation is required before overwriting the file.
     <C>lear          Clears the level.  Confirmation is required before 
                    clearing the level.
     <E>xit           Exits the editor to the main title screen. Confirmation
                    is required.
     <V>iew Pages     Works exactly like the game version of this 
                    function does.              
     <H>elp           Works exactly like the game version of this 
                    function does.              
NEW  <P>. Disable     This option allows the teleporters that the player can
                    pick up to be disabled so that they can not be used.  
                    This option is normally used when Fixed-place Teleporters
                    are being used.

     
     NOTE: The version 1D of this program contains a bug when saving files.
           if the file for the board is not present, the program will not
           save the board to disk.  This bug has been corrected in this 
           version.
