This game will only run in low resolution, but these instructions
should be read in medium resolution.
Note: This program was designed with the SHOOT'EM-UP
CONSTRUCTION KIT. SHOOT'EM-UP CONSTRUCTION KIT is a Copywright of
PALACE SOFTWARE LTD. 1989.
This program will run on any ST, but requires a color monitor
and a joystick. I am not sure if it is STE/TT compatible, as I do
not have access to these machines.
Note: This program is shareware, if you like this game and
play it frequently, then please send $5.00 to:

This fee will insure that more ELEVISION products will be
released soon.
SET-UP
NOTE: If you un-ARCed this file with the 'Use Subdirectories'
option, you may ignore the instructions about creating the
EDITFILE folder.
On a blank disk you should have the following files:
RUNGAME.PRG, LOGO.PC1, DESKTOP.INF(This must be the file that was
extracted from CW.ARC), COLAWARS.SCK, COLAWARS.ALL,
and COLAWARS.PC1. COLAWARS.ALL and COLAWARS.PC1 must be placed in
a folder called EDITFILE. This folder can be created by selecting
the 'New Folder' option in desktop.
If you have a hard disk then it is possible that
you have a different copy of DESKTOP.INF than the one that came
with this game. If this is the case, you need to copy your own
DESKTOP.INF onto the disk and install RUNGAME.PRG as an
application. To do this click once on RUNGAME.PRG and select
INSTALL APPLICATION from the OPTIONS menu. In the window, where
it says 'Document Type', enter the letters SCK and click on OK.
Now, save the desktop and you should be able to run the game
normally.
These files must be present for COLAWARS to run
properly. If you are missing any of these files, send a blank
disk, your name, address and $5.00 to the address mentioned above.
RUNNING COLAWARS
If all the files are in their place, all you need to do in
order to run COLAWARS is to double-click on COLAWARS.SCK in GEM
desktop. Make sure there is a joystick plugged into port 1(the
non-mouse port).
