I have located my copy of UIM from the depths of my loft and the
documentation is as follows -
A 42 page manual, containing a lot of information about the game, and
pictures of the craft type you incounter, there is an awful lot of
reading how relevant it all is I don't know.
You also get a function key strip for use when playing the game.
If I was playing UIM I would prefer the paper manual as well, might be
worthwhile searching out a copy, maybe APDL can help seeing as they
own the program now, or maybe CJE Micros or Liquid Silicon have an old
copy knocking about they can sell you, or Ebay?
cheers
Matthew
