NOTES ON PROGRAMMING:

This is an ALPHA release - the Script Programming Document
is not final, and may have omissions and mistakes.

You will need a text editor. Notepad is sufficient, but
a programmer's text editor is better.

The Script language was never designed for use outside
of Particle Systems, and so is not very robust.

If you get the syntax wrong or make any mistakes in the
script then the game may crash without warning, or give
unpredictable results. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Some programming experience is very useful.

We recommend you study the game's scripts before modifying
or creating your own.

The script language is not supported by either Particle 
Systems or Infogrames Entertainment. This means that if
you encounter any problems while using the script language,
or if you damage your installed copy of the game then 
Particle Systems and Infogrames Entertainment will not be
liable to help you out.

Please do not email Infogrames with any questions regarding 
the script language - they will not be able to give you any
answers, as they have no detailed knowlege of how it works.

If you have any queries or suggestions then you can email
scripts@particle-systems.com, but though we will read every
email, we cannot promise to answer them.

Please read and understand the License Agreement before
attempting to use the SCRIPT LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING KIT.

By using any of the materials provided in the kit you
automatically agree to abide by the terms of the agreement
