INTRODUCTION

    NornPose assembles graphics of Norns from the individual body parts, in
    whatever pose you set. Version 2.01 can even put together a graphic of a
    Norn you already have, with mixed body parts and all. The completed file
    can be saved as either an SPR file or a Windows bitmap (BMP).

GETTING STARTED

    When you're setting up your image for the first time, it's important to
    know what kind of creature you want to make. First of all, you must
    select the species. (Currently, only Norns and Grendels exist.) Then,
    select the creature's age and sex.

    The text box labeled "Breed/Moniker" requires either a single digit
    representing the creature's breed (which determines its appearance), or a
    four-character genetic moniker. (Breeds are listed in APPENDIX B below.)
    If you enter a genetic moniker, the creature with that moniker (assuming
    you have its .GEN and .SPR files in the right places) will be assembled
    for you from its existing sprites; however, you must enter the correct
    age and sex information for it to look right, since NornPose can't tell
    from the creature's DNA what age and sex it is supposed to be.

    Finally, the text box labeled "Game Path" specifies the path for
    Creatures. (This is a 16-bit app, so you have to use the path as DOS
    would see it.) The default is "C:\PROGRA~1\CREATU~1", which is DOS's way
