This release will work with SDD Beta 35 and later. It should
work with IBM SDD/se releases 7.04 and later (which haven't
been released yet as far as I am aware).


To install:

Extract the files into a subdirectory e.g. c:\games\fly8 Add
a new program item in a group or on the desktop (for example -
open the templates group and drag the program template to the
desktop). Set the default directory to be where you have the
fly.ini and other files. (NOTE fly8 has no icon so it will get
the default icon).

Now double click on the icon to run Fly8.

If Fly8 fails to run check the file fly.log in the fly8 directory for
diagnostic information.


IMPORTANT: keep all the files together otherwise fly8 will not be able to
find its support files.

VIDEO DRIVERS ARE:

GrMGL		uses the MGL library - fullscreen

If building this from the source release then the MGL\config.cmd
takes two parameters.
e.g.
config mgl udp

Also required:
To use a joystick you will need the IBM OS/2 joystick drivers.
To use the emx compiled version you will need to get emxrt.zip for the
emx runtime DLLs.
