The Ur-Creature Generator
=========================

By Tony Jones, Version 1.0, August 2003

This program generates an Ur-creature, ready for uplift, using the system given in
chapter 4 of GURPS Uplift, first edition. GURPS is copyright Steve Jackson Games while
Uplift and the Uplift universe are the property of the author, David Brin. As such
concepts from them both are used here, without permission, but for game use only and
not for profit or commercial gain.

To use this program simply double-click on the executable. The program will then ask you
a name for your creature. If you just press return then the name will default to Ur_Creature.
The program will then write the details of the creature out to a file named
<creature name>.txt (if no name is specified then this will be Ur_Creature.txt). Note that
the program does not check for existing files, and will overwrite an existing file without
telling you, so it's best to move or rename any ur-creatures you particularly like!

This program is written in Ada 95. The Ada 95 compiler which was used is the free GNAT Ada
compiler, running with the AdaGIDE GUI front-end. The GNAT compiler can be downloaded from
