             With a name-change from Running Away from the Ball



Notice: Please copy !ParaScrap to a fast file system (ie. RAM disc, Hard
        disc), as it will speed up the game a lot!

Speed comparison table (ARM 2):

        If Paradox and Parascrap is on ADFS     - 1:37
        If Paradox on ADFS and Parascrap on RAM - 0:25
        If Paradox and Parascrap is on RAM      - 0:09

        Therefore it is advisable that you copy at least Parascrap onto RAM/
Hard disc before use, especially on a network, as it won't work!!

This version has a minimum requirement of 4 Megabytes, but will hopefully
work for 2Mb owners if you load '!2MegOwners' and follow the instructions.
Sorry all you 1Mb owners! The '!2MegOwners' app. is really just for people
without a hard-disc and 2Mb. If you have a hard-disc, copy !ParaScrap to it,
load it, quit all applications, set the font cache and sprite area to 0k,
press F12 and type *RMClear, and then load !Paradox.


  ** The Paradox Demo 0.20 should not be distributed, only version 0.20b **


    Requirements:
                  Acorn 32-Bit RISC Computer
                  2 Megabytes of RAM or more
                  ARM 2



        This game used to be called Running Away from the Ball, A rather sad
name, but it has been changed, to what is perhaps a better name with a better
story, instead of 'Just dodge the ball'.

        If you want to know the story, wait on the title screen for 20
seconds. You have 2 ships to choose from. The Pyrex Mk. 1 and the Pyrex Mk.
2. In the proper game, there are a total of 8 ships. At the moment, you still
have to dodge balls as I haven't been bothered to put in sprites for other
things.

        If you would like to submit things to this game, please post it/them
to me!

       Please also do post me if you find any errors, things that need
improving (besides the speed and the bloated ship), ideas etc., or whatever
you want, except death threats! If you get the error ' at line XXXX', that
means that the disc which !ParaScrap is on has not got enough space left on
it.

P.S. If anything goes wrong due to use of this program, I cannot be blamed.
     The use of this program is at your own risk, not mine! This program is
     freely copyable as long as none of the files are altered in any way
     (except for the 'SetUp' file, which can only be changed through use
     by the Paradox Demo 0.20b itself.
P.P.S. The age in the credits is wrong. I am now 14 years old, and I've now
       got the RISC PC 700!
