Sheep vs Gravity Screensaver -- Version 1.08
============================================
It is not widely known, but Sir Isaac Newton actually formulated his
theories about gravity and it's effects by watching sheep, not apples.


Installation Notes
------------------
This program works under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT (Sorry 3.x
and Mac'ers).

To install, first unzip the "sheep.zip" archive. Run the "setup.exe"
program. Choose the directory where you have Windows installed
(e.g. C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT).

You can access the Sheep vs Gravity screensaver from from "Control
Panel", then choose the "Display" icon. Choose the "Screensaver" tab
and then choose "Sheep" under the "Screen Saver" drop down box.


Things you can change in the "sheep.ini" file
----------------------------------------------
[Main]
NumberOfSheep=10  Maximum number of active sheep on screen at
                  any given time.
GibGore=1         0 = No bloody sheep bits, 1 = Show bloody bits.
PileUpGibs=1      0 = Sheep bits vanish, 1 = Sheep bits pile up.
PileUpLimit=500   Number of sheep to explode before screen clears,
                  (a full screen will hold approx. 1500 sheep).

Version Information
-------------------
January 02, 2003
   - Finally got some time to create a version with a proper
     install/de-install (about bloody time ;-)
     I've also tweaked some of the internal settings and removed the
     intro screen to reduce the memory usage.

December 16, 1998
   - Fixed a persistent .ini bug under NT. Now when you change the
     settings in the "sheep.ini" file, they actually stay changed!

October 04, 1998
   - Changed website and e-mail addresses to my new ones.

February 01, 1998
   - Fixed music and sound effect bugs.
   - Added cool intro screen.
   - Changed code so changes to .ini should work for NT users
   - Changed the hard to understand "PileUpLimit" calculation
     to something easier. (That'll be the last time I add a
     feature at 3:00 am ;-)

September 15, 1997
   - Added "PileUpLimit" in sheep.ini, tweaked some graphics.

September 03, 1997
   - Fixed bug in .ini file so GibGore and PileUpGibs works
     (I tested it! Really I did!!).
   - Reduced memory requirements, should work while more
     programs open.

Parting Words
-------------
No sheep were harmed during the making of this program. I suggest,
in the strongest possible terms, that you do not attempt this with your
own sheep, or even with sheep that you've borrowed from a friend.

Sheep vs Gravity is not known to cause hair loss in anything other
than sheep, despite what all of those pesky gossip tabloid reporters
keep saying.
