  *                                                                         *
  *   is a remake of an old Spectrum game for PC.  The object of the        *
  *   game is to get as many diamonds as possible as fast as you can.       *
  *                                                                         *
  *   Requirements: Fast Pentium (200MHz or faster),  fast video card       *
  *   fully supporting VESA, Sound Blaster or compatible, at least 480k     *
  *   of free memory. The game was written to run under DOS; its behaviour  *
  *   under Windows is quite unpredictable.                                 *
  *                                                                         *
  *   Keys:                                                                 *
  *                                                                         *
  *      CTRL, ALT, joystick fire button: To start a game from menu         *
  *                     or to restart a cave when your man is lost.         *
  *                                                                         *
  *      ARROW KEYS, joystick: Direction of man's movement, choice of       *
  *                     a cave/level from menu. These keys may be used      *
  *                     simultaneously with CTRL or ALT.                    *
  *                                                                         *
  *      ENTER: Selects number of players. It also offers the option        *
  *                     keyboard/joystick, but that is ignored - the        *
  *                     program always gets the information from both       *
  *                     devices.                                            *
  *                                                                         *
  *      ESC: Quits game when man is lost, restarts a cave when he is       *
  *                     alive.                                              *
  *                                                                         *
  *      G: Toggles resolution high/low.                                    *
  *                                                                         *
  *      F: Toggles sound off and on.                                       *
  *                                                                         *
  *      SPACEBAR: Pauses the game.                                         *
  *                                                                         *
  *      Two cheat codes are available, too. Their wording may be found     *
  *      elsewhere. :-)                                                     *
  *                                                                         *
  *   The game is a freeware. You may give it to anybody, provided you      *
  *   will distribute a complete unchanged .zip package which you got.      *
  *                                                                         *
  *   One remark for the rare breed of users who believe that it is         *
  *   a good policy to pay for a software: THIS GAME IS A FREEWARE.         *
  *   (If, however, you ignore this statement and still insist on           *
  *   rewarding me, send an envelope with a banknote proportional to        *
  *   your satisfaction from this game. I shall not return it back.)        *
  *                                                                         *  
  *                              E N J O Y !                                *
