This file was written by Jonathan Strawn. He can be reached on AOL as Thype (don't laugh). Thanks also go to the authors of the Official Desecent FAQ, which supplied about 1/4 of the information in this file. Keep up the good work! 5 credit Who designed the UHS? Jason Strautman -- AOL JStrautman, CIS [72337,2611], and Internet jstrautman@aol.com -- created the original concept of the UHS. Bob Norton -- CIS [70017,1765] -- helped to update the UHS to the 91a and 95a formats. 6 comment How do I write my own UHS file? Contact Jason Strautman (see the previous question for electronic mail addresses) for more information. You will also need the most recent compiler for your computer, and should check to make sure that no one else is working on a similar file. 5 credit Who wrote DESCENT? Descent was developed by Parallax and published by Interplay. Interplay's support areas can be reached on-line on CIS (GO GAMEPUB), AOL (Keyword: Interplay), and via the WWW at http://www.interplay.com. 3 text A note from Jason Strautman 000000 0 012711 000536 28 subject Getting Started 14 hint How do I find my way around this huge maze? 3tIyJ& FrpIG Jw zyr |wzI pzJwvpH' dJ qpG yDw{ |wz JDtGsy JDpJ |wzI r|ry BwGSJ yrr' - irqwGB& urrH |wzI r|ry HrrFrB CwI FpGBvpIuy' - 6wwu CwI Iwwvy CzFF wC vwGtJwIy& CzFF wC BwwIy& rJq' - 6rpKr Gw BwwI zGrLHFwIrB' aDrqu Bw{G rKrI| HwyytAFr IwzJr' - dC |wz yJpIJ srJJtGs FwyJ& AFw{ vwGtJwIy py |wz sw' - dC |wz srJ BtywItrGJrB& JI| Jw urrH JDr FtsDJy pJ JDr JwH' 12 hint My ship's out of control!
