    INTRODUCTION:
    =============
    
    This script will spare more space on your hard disk than the original script
    provided with Genetic Species. The original script "JoinAnim" will take more
    than  380 Mb of space on your hard disk joinig  the animation files into one
    big animation  file "GS-Anim.Cdxl". My script will solve  the problem  since
    "GS-JAnim" will create  the big animation file "GS-Anim.Cdxl" but  will take
    less  than 240 Mb  of space on your  hard disk."GS-JAnim" will check  if all
    animation parts are available into the directory ":GENETICS/GeneticSpecies/"
    and if  all files will be OK, my script  will create the file "GS-Anim.Cdxl"
    erasing in the meantime the old files. Try it !


    FEATURES:
    =========

    · checks if all animation parts are available
    · spares a lot of space on your hard disk
    · creates the big animation file "GS-Anim.Cdxl"
    · erases all unnecessary files
    · has a progress bar
    · gives you warning messages and tips


    INSTALLATION:
    =============

    Simply you have to follow these simple steps:

    1) Extract GS-JAnim.lha
    2) Copy "GS-JAnim" into the directory ":GENETICS/"
    3) Double click on the "GS-JAnim" icon
    4) There is nothing else to do !


    SOME TIPS:
    ==========

    1) download all Genetic Species archives (GS-FullGame01-19.lha)  but also my
       script (GS-JAnim.lha)
    2) unpack into the same partition only the following archives:

      - GS-FullGame 01.lha
      - GS-FullGame 10.lha
      - GS-FullGame 11.lha
      - GS-FullGame 12.lha
      - GS-FullGame 13.lha
      - GS-FullGame 14.lha
      - GS-FullGame 15.lha
      - GS-FullGame 16.lha
      - GS-FullGame 17.lha
      - GS-FullGame 18.lha
      - GS-FullGame 19.lha
      - GS-JAnim.lha

    (The archives 10-19 contain the file "GS-Anim.CDXL" splitted in 10 parts)

    3) Now you  should be able to find my  script "GS-JAnim" into the  directory
       "GENETICS" together  to the other scripts. If it's all ok double click on
       the "GS-JAnim" icon.

    4) Unpack the other Genetic Species archives (02-09).

    (The archives 01-09 contain only the game)

    5) If you  have followed all explained steps you should be ready to play the
       game, so run the script "Engine", select a graphic mode and enjoy Genetic
       Species !

    NOTE: If you cannot take 304 Mb of space  on your partition, unpack only the
    archives 01-09 so the game will take about 115 Mb on your partition. In this
    rare  case you cannot run the script "Genetics" because there is not the big
    animation file "GS-Anim.Cdxl" (190 Mb !)
