Chimaera Version C1.001A 31st January 2002
==========================================

Create a directory named CHIMAERA and copy the following files

 CHIMAERA.EXE
 CHIMAERA.HTM 

into it.

To run the program, open an MSDOS window, move to the CHIMAERA directory
(typically by typing \CHIMAERA) and type CHIMAERA

Please note that version C1.001A is an alpha-test copy and may contain bugs 
which will be fixed in later version. Also that some of the commands do not yet
work properly (or indeed at all).

You may SAVE your current game, the saved file will be found in the directory
from whcih you ran the program and may be restarted from where you left it by
running CHIMAERA and RESTORING at any point after the initial location description
has been displayed.

Note that saved games from version C1.001A may not be restorable into later versions 
of CHIMAERA.

Version C1.001A also creates a text log file (CHIMAERA.LOG), this records everything 
which was displayed on the screen during your last game. Each time CHIMAERA is run 
the log file is overwritten, so if you want to preserve it make a copy with a 
different file name. The log file is a simple text file which may be read in Windows 
Notepad or any text editor (or in MS Word).

Please report any bugs or inconsistencies to me at chris@rebus.demon.co.uk titling 
your message 'CHIMAERA Bug Report', stating the nature of the problem and preferably 
enclosing a copy of the relevant log file.

For more information open CHIMAERA.HTM in Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Have fun

Chris
