NAME
       Vega Strike - Trade, Fight and Explore the Universe


SYNOPSIS
       vsinstall

       vslauncher

       vegastrike [-ddata_dir] [-px,y,z] [-jsector/starsystem] missionname

       The  recommended  way  to  run Vega Strike is to first run vsinstall to
       configure your system, then invoke the vegastrike executable and  begin
       a New Game.


DESCRIPTION
       vsinstall   program   sets   up  the  default  save  game,  copies  the
       vegastrike.config file to a  user’s  ~/.vegastrike.4.x  directory   and
       runs vssetup from the proper directory.

       vslauncher  program  allows  the  user to select a mission to run, then
       executes vegastrike When a user has selected a save game to use via the
       New Game or Load Game buttons.  A user may autorecover an autosave file
       by clicking on the Recover Auto Save button,  and  selecting  the  save
       game  to  recover to, which will launch vegastrike and recover the save
       game.  Save games must be saved at a base or planet.

       vegastrike program begins Vega Strike with  the  selected  XML  mission
       file (full path necessary) and the save game appearing as the only text
       in ~/.vegastrike.4.x/save.txt
