Welcome to the preview release of Splook. Hope you enjoy it. This document features information on installing Splook on your system _and_ removing it. Additionally, there's a list of to-be-implemented features.

INSTALLATION

1. Unzip the archive splook.zip (you've done that already).
2. Put the splook directory wherever you want. I recommend /boot/apps or /boot/apps/bastion.
3. Trash the zip file, or keep it around for backup as suits your mood.

--------------------------------------------------

REMOVAL

1. Drag the splook folder to the trash.
2. Find files named "splook_*".
3. If you've ever launched the program, there should be files named splook_patterns, splook_records, and splook_settings on your hard drive. Drag them to the trash.

--------------------------------------------------

MISSING

As you may have noticed, Splook is not yet version 1.0. There are a couple of reasons for this. Basically, as you might surmise, it's not (quite) done yet. Following is a list of features which aren't there yet:

* Undo Move - This menu option simply doesn't do anything.
* Remote Games - Not implemented yet. Don't worry; it's on its way. Consequently, the Remote menu documented in the manual doesn't exist and the chapter on remote games is - well - incomplete.
* Robots - There are a couple of weak computer players included. When Splook is called "1.0" there will be documentation on creating your own robots. For now, I'm not quite sure that the interface for robots is frozen.
* Registration and version information are not displayed in the about box.
* There's no background music included. I'm trying to get one of the other implementors to put something together. If anyone wants to volunteer something, I'm willing to listen. /h+?
