ABOUT SPECUTHON

Specuthon is a set of shapes for Bungie Software's game, MARATHON.  The added shapes and textures are from various volumes of Specular International's libraries of 3D clip art, Replicas.  For more information on Specular Replicas or other fine Specular products, you can contact Specular by calling 1-800-433-SPEC, sending email to info@specular.com, or visiting our Web site at http://www.specular.com/.

The included map is an office building, excellent for net play.  Check out the elevators!

INSTALLING SPECUTHON

1) MAKE A BACKUP of your current Marathon Shapes and Map files.  If you do not make a backup, you might get stuck with damaged files or -- even worse -- Specuthon shapes and maps forever.

2) Run the Specuthon Installer.  This is a shapes patcher produced with MSE by Joe Kloss.  It will give you a normal Macintosh "Open" dialog.  Through this dialog, find the Shapes file in the folder with the Marathon game application.  Clicking the Open button will install the Specuthon shapes.  (we really, really hope you copied your original Shapes file before you do this.)

3) Remove the original Map file from the folder with the Marathon game application.  Copy the Map file that came with the Specuthon Installer into its place.

4) That's it!  Get ready to play Specuthon!

DISCLAIMER:  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  Specular International waives all responsibility for damaged software, files, equipment or minds that could occur as a result of using any of the files from this archive.  Specuthon is distributed as a fun diversion, nothing more.  We do not offer technical support for Specuthon.  If you follow the instructions and make liberal backup copies of the key files, everything will probably work alright, but if it doesn't, you're on your own.

Specuthon is not a finished product, hence the fractional version number.  Subsequent versions may (or may not) be released with more Replicas shapes, more maps, and more weirdness.
