- PROGRAM INFORMATION October 1991
-
- Here are a number of shareware and money up front programs I have
- written. Most of these will only run on a PAL screen, unless (NTSC) is
- given, indicating that the program will run on both types of screens.
-
- Many of the programs are available from Megadisk (sometimes as a Demo
- version) or directly from me at the below address.

- If you buy the full version, you will get the latest version, plus in
- cases where the program was resricted in some way, an unrestricted version!

- All that is needed is your name, address and cheque or money order (the
- latter is probably cheaper) for the price of the program.
