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

 This is the MorphOS port of REminiscence, 
 the open-source engine of Flashback.

 Requirements
 ------------

  . MorphOS 1.4
  . PowerSDL 10.5
  . Original Flashback MS-DOS version data files
  . Amiga version mods (optional)

 ----------

  Enhancements in the engine:

  - fixed crash in MOD player 
  - fixed minor glitch with in-game save switches


  MorphOS specific:

  - removed un-needed VERSION tooltype
  - fixed path problem


 Usage
 -----

  1) From Ambient, REminiscence understands the following tooltypes:
  ---------------

   .DATAPATH: specify the directory containing the datafiles (must *not*
              include the ending '/')

    => default: PROGDIR:Data 

   .SAVEPATH: specify the directory where to put saves (must *not*
              include the ending '/')

    => default: PROGDIR:Saves



  2) From CLI, REminiscence understands the following arguments:
  -----------

   --datapath=<DIR> : directory containing the datafiles (must *not*
                      include the ending '/')
   
   Default is PROGDIR:Data
   Example: --datapath=games:Flashback

   --savepath=<DIR> : directory where to put the savefiles (must *not*
                      include the ending '/')
   Default is PROGDIR:Saves

 
  NOTE: When playing cutscenes, REminiscence will look for the following mod files
        and will play them if present: (they must be put in the same directory as the
        other data files)

        mod.flashback-ascenseur
        mod.flashback-ceinturea
        mod.flashback-chute    
        mod.flashback-desintegr
