VERY IMPORTANT Update Instructions
1) You must have the C3 update installed in your game before you can use this agent.
You can get the update at the Official C3 Web Site (http://www.creatures3.com/)
When you install the update, you also need to create a new world.

2) If you already installed a previous version of this agent then you will first need 
to delete the agent, sprite and catalogue files from your C3 directory. 
- The SuperFoodVendor.agent files is located in the My Agents folder. 
- The SuperFoodVendor.catalogue files is in the Catalogue folder. 
- The SuperFoodVendor.c16 file is located in the Images folder.
If you do not delete these files, then your game will experience some errors that this 
version was designed to fix.

3) Delete the old vendors in your game using the Creator's delete button (that little 
button with the X on it). To do this cycle through the Creator inventory until the 
Super Food Vendor shows up. Then press the delete button twice. The button should 
"open up" on the first click and then "close" on the second click.

4) If you've done all of the above and your vendor and/or Creator disappear, then 
export all your norns and start a new world. Highly unlikely that this option will 
have to be done, but I had to include it because of unforseen problems with some 
user's computers.

INSTALLATION
Simplicity itself! Just place the SuperFoodVendor.agent file into your
Creatures\My Agents\   folder. The new agent (including sounds and images) 
is available for injection with your Creator machine in your world 
(new or existing). Look for "Super Food Vendor" in the Creator screen.

FEATURES
The Super Food Vendor vends 20 different food items. You can cycle through 
the different food items using the top green button with the arrow on it. 
You dispense the food with the bottom red button. The fruit and seed items 
can germinate a grow into plants in the right conditions. Please view the 
text within the game for a complete description of the food item's properties.
This updated version fixes some errors that might occur due to positioning problems 
in the game. I also improved the growth cycle of the plants so they won't overgrow 
in one area.
12-30-99 Finally fixed a specific positioning error that occurs when the vendor is 
on an odd sloped floor when activated. Fixed an issue where some of the pear and 
triffid seeds stopped bouncing and not completing their life cycle.

The Vendor is also connectable with the other gadgets in the ship. The vendor 
vends if it recieves a value other than zero and sends out a signal value of 255.

UPDATE INFO
Fixed the potato over-growth problem and other plant growth issues. Added the 
Yule-Food and Booze from CL's X-mas Freebies. Added a cycle back button and a 
spring toggle. This is the complex object version. 

enjoy...
