Dragon Bane Version 1.1
(c) 1998 Palm Creations

Thank you for trying out Dragon Bane, by Palm Creations!


EXPLANATION OF DEMO VERSION:
  This demo is fully playable, except that only the first three levels
  are accessible until you purchase a license.  After purchasing the
  license, you will be able to unlock this demo into the full version,
  and continue playing any saved games from where you left off.  

  To purchase the full version, visit PilotGear H.Q. at:
     http://www.pilotgear.com
  and search for Dragon Bane

  When registering at PilotGear, you will be asked to provide your 
  Pilot Username and your Registration Code -- both of which can be found
  by pressing License from the Dragon Bane menu.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
  If you are upgrading from a previous version, DO NOT DELETE your
  existing version - or you will have to re-install your license
  key.  Just install this version right on top of the existing version.

  Dragon Bane consists of four files that must all be installed before
  you can play.  The files included with the Dragon Bane distribution
  are:
    * DrgBComm.pdb
    * DrgBAdv1.pdb
    * DrgBMaps.pdb
    * DrgBane.prc

  Save game files:
  There are six save game slots.  Each save game you create will create
  a new pdb file (for example DrgBSav0.pdb) that will automatically be
  copied to your desktop computer each time you hotsync.  This way, you
  can backup and restore save games on your computer in case you lose or
  overwrite them on your Pilot.

  archives as well.

  The Dragon Bane engine was designed with expandability in mind.  Look 
  for other Dragon Bane-type adventures in the future.  Palm Creations may

  announcements, we will not provide any information on future Dragon
  Bane-related products or development tools.  We would, however, be
  willing to cooperate with anyone interested in constructing Dragon
  Bane maps, faqs, websites, translations, web mirrors, or other 
  information.
