How to Use shivaEngine
=======================

Just place the shivaengine.vpt AND the shivaengine.vps in the same folder.
shivaEngine uses a external file to run the table, instead of a built in script in the table editor.
The call to the external file is (useing build 1_8 as a example): 

ExecuteGlobal CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("shivaengine1_8a.vps", 1).ReadAll 

============
Terms of Use
============

Spike script
============
There are no strings attached for using this script. Mr_Staypuft and I
would appreciate a minor mention in your credits, but it is not required.
You may use this script in any manner you see fit to enable you to learn
and create pinball tables for VP (with the exception of calling it your own).
We do ask that you give credit to Black if you use the load/save routines
in your code. THAT'S IT. Enjoy.

shivaengine v1
==============
No Strings attached to this version, though a mention in the credits would be nice, 
especially if you use any of the graphics.
