 <td colspan="2"><p align="justify">This script is a simple game which might help fighting boredom. For me at least, while
 scripting this game, it helped.<br>
 This game is more or less a rebuild of the 15-year-old Microsoft SKI game written by Chris Pirih, thus it keeps the old
 graphic style and the distinctive simplicity alive. Your target is to guide the snowboarder down the track as fast as possible.
  Of course this target varies on the different types of tracks you can choose.</p></td>

It is irrelevant in which folder you put those files, you just have to make sure that all files, the script, the help file and particularly the
ski.bmp, stay in the same folder.
<br>
 You can load this script like you load any script:
<br><br><font face="COURIER NEW">/load -rs "<i>C:/script-dir/</i>ski.mrc"</font>
<br>
Unloading this script works almost the same as loading the file:
<br><br><font face="COURIER NEW">/unload -rs "<i>C:/script-dir/</i>ski.mrc"</font>
<br><br>Both the hash table and the buffer window created by this script will be removed.</p></td>

After making sure that you have installed this script as described above, you can start this game by either using
the popup menu or typing <font face="COURIER NEW">/ski.pic</font>.
<br>
<br>
Then the SKI custom window is opened and you can start guiding the snowboarder using your mouse. Now you have to choose one of the three
possible tracks by crossing the <font color="#0000FF">start line</font> just straight ahead, crossing the left <font color="#00FF00">start line</font> or crossing the right
<font color="#FF0000">start line</font>.

 This track forces you to drive a zigzag course in order to pass the blue flags on the right and the red flags on the left.
 To get a glimpse of the position of each flag, a small map at the top right shows you both your and the flags actual position.

<font color="#0000FF" ><b> Note:</b></font> Each missed flag costs you 15 seconds.</p></td>

Your target again is to pass this track as fast as possible. Now crashing into trees or rocks does not only increase your
needed time but decreases your "health". If the health has reached zero, the snowboarder is too exhausted to go on.
