D R I F T  For Windows 3.1 Version 1.02: Freeware  Readme.txt
     -------------------------------------------------------------

+++ 1. Drift Overview +++

The year is 5300 and you are in command of the brand new experimental
DriftRunner V3X22 (yep... a major improvement over the old V2X22
series). Humanity has colonized huge parts of the galaxy but the
mysterious Vhol Drift has never been successfully explored. Strange
aliens with strange technology live inside the dangerous Drift and it is
said that he who successfully explores the Drift will be both famous and
rich.

So, your mission is clear. Enter the Vhol Drift and try to penetrate as
deep as you can. But beware... the asteroid field gets more dense the
further you go and encounters with the evil Polygunzz are also more
likely. You have to shoot and destroy all the asteroids (and other
obstacles) to clear a path through the Vhol Drift to make it possible
for Terran exploration crafts to enter the Drift and exploit its
resources and discover its mysteries. The task will not be easy but if
anyone can do it, it surely is you...

Good luck!

+++ 2. Freeware? +++

Drift is Freeware. This means you can copy it as much as you like as
long as you don't change anything to the original program. I spend a lot
of time programming this game and I hope you enjoy it. If you really
like it you can always send me a postcard.

The following files should be included in Drift102.zip (or other
compression format).

Drift.exe               Main executable
Drift.hlp               Drift help file
Readme.txt              Text file describing Drift (this file)

+++ 3. Installing Drift +++

To install Drift copy the files Drift.exe and Drift.hlp to the directory
of your choice (or make a new directory). Then use the program manager
to add a new program item to the program manager group of your choice
(see your Windows manual for more information (Chapter 3: Creating a
Program Item)). Now you are ready to run Drift...

+++ 4. Drift under OS/2 +++

To run Drift in WinOS/2, simply create a new program object, fill in the
full path for the Drift executable and go to the Session page. Set the
IDLE_SENSITIVITY value to 100 and click on the Save button. Drift should
now run smoothly in seamless Windows mode.
