- This disc is the result of several years work on and off. In an earlier
- incarnation part of it was transmitted as Telesoftware on the BBC for a
- few weeks and had a good reception. The Kidtoms practice level program
- will run on an old BBC B machine and is included here simply to help learn
- how to use the main Archimedes version. It has a help page that is missing
- on the higher levels. The Polymos proper program requires some Font
- space, '5' on a 310 will do. (It should run on a 305 with no problems at
- all.) It uses non standard settings for the anti-alias edges of the
- letters to make them readable on a non high-res screen. Otherwise I would
- not use them at all! There is a proc for inserting a special silly sound
- when you 'win', I just haven't bother to do so yet.
-
- I have an even more splendid version on the stocks that will print out
- all the solutions that have been stored on disc. Also it will allow the
- creation of any shape (animals etc)of any number of squares and save them
- and their solutions to disc as well. If there is sufficient interest I
- will finish the program, also I could upgrade the practice prog and
- instructions etc.
-
- As this has been quite an undertaking I would be grateful if satisfied
- users would be so kind as to help me cover my costs... None of the price
- of this Careware disc comes to me as it is.
- Any such donations or other enquiries please to Simon Anthony, 62 Rutland
- Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 5DG.
-
- I hope you like them, I am rather pleased. (The programming style is not
- what you would call structured however. Look on this as my copyright
- protection! I retain all rights but don't mind people looking at my clever
- bits or doctoring the prog for personal or educational uses. Just don't
- sell it!)

- RISC OS Version, 02/07/90
- By Nick Smith
-
- I don't know Simon personally, but I found this program of his on an Archive
- Careware disc, and thought it rather neat. However, to place it on the school
- net (for educational purposes), it required some modifications. If you wish
- to contact me, then I should be available through school at :
-
- Computer Department
- Bedford Modern School
- Manton Lane
- Bedford
- MK41 7NT
-
- Tel : 0234 64331
-
- PS : When I call this the "RISC OS" version, don't take it TOO literally !
- It has only a few small changes so that the code is not CSD dependant.
