1. The program
================================================================
"CRAZY ROTARY V1.1" is a collection of puzzles, which have one
in common: Rotate plates, rings, balls, disks or s.e. and put
them in a definite order.
You find 4 different puzzles in the game:
Gripple:
On each of the 5 black plates there are 4 balls colored red,
blue, yellow and brown. 4 of the balls belong to 2 plates each.
These locations are very important to solve the puzzle. Click
on the black plates and the 4 balls will change their position.
On the right you will see a pattern. Try to copy it as quick
as possible. Whenever you start the pattern will change.
Hexagon:
The game takes place on a hexagon, which is divided in 6
colored sectors. Additionally you will find a different
number of holes, depending to the game level, on the hexagon.
All holes are divided in groups of smaller hexagons, which
overlap each other. In each hole there is a pill in one of
the 6 colors of the game. Each pill is colored at random but
every color has the same number of pills. Click in the centre
of a hexagon and the 6 belonging pills will move from one hole
to the next in rotation. The puzzle is solved, if in all
sectors are only pills colored like the sector.
Oktopus:
You will find 9 octagons, arranged in 3 rows. On each octagon
there are 8 buttons colored at random. Click on the octagons
and they will rotate in 45░ steps. The puzzle is solved, if
the buttons on the neighbouring edges of the octagons are
identically colored. (There are 12 locations.)
Wedding:
There are two overlapping systems of concentric rings, with
a different number of balls, depending to the game level.
These balls are colored white, black, pink or violet. Click
in the centre of the rings and the balls will roll to the
next place. The puzzle is solved if the arrangement of the
balls is a copy of the pattern shown on the right
Notice: There is no limitation of time to solve a puzzle but
only if you are fast, you have the chance to get into the
list of the best five. For every puzzle and every pattern
there is existing an extra high score list.
Notice: If you change to another puzzle, leaving one unsolved,
you can get back and continue without loss of time.

5. What is Shareware?
================================================================
Definition of Shareware
-----------------------
Shareware is a distibution method, not a type of software.
The author gives the user a chance to try the software for a
limited time before buying it. If the user likes the software
and wants to continue using it after the trial period, he
must make a registration payment. With the registration, he
gets anything, from the simple right to continue using the
software with no function limitations and no nag screens, to
more game levels etc.
Caution! The fee paid to the disk vendor, or the price for the
CD-ROM is not to be mixed up with the registration payment.
Commercial software and sharware in comparision:
------------------------------------------------
Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality.
(In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main
difference lies in the method of distibution.
Both, commercial authors and shareware authors, have got the
same copyright laws. All rights belong to the copyright holders.
There are some exceptions. The shareware author specifically
grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to
all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors
require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
copy the software.
Shareware programs are mostly cheaper than commercial programs,
because there are no costs for advertising, in between
transactions, storing a.s.o.
The shareware author is a special communication partner for the
user and he is thankful for all suggestions. The users have
influence on the further development of the program.
The shareware concept allows the fast circulation of the
software. So it is possible to react quickly on faults and on
users' wishes.
Three main points for the success of the shareware-concept:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. The authors are responsible for the quality and variety
of their products.
2. The shareware vendors are responsible for distribution and
advertising.
3. The users' registration's moral decides wether this special
distribution concept is successful or not.
================================================================
6. Disclaimer of warranties
================================================================
The author disclaims all warranties, either expressed or
implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of
merchantibility or fitness for a particular purpose or
hardware configuration, with respect to the product.
Should the program prove defective, the user assumes the risk
paying the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or
correction and any incidental or consequential damages.
In no event will the author be liable for any damages
whatsoever - including without limitations damages for loss
of business profits, business interruptions, loss of business
information and the like - arising out of the use or the
inability to use this product even if the author has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.
The author will try to correct errors of the program fast
as possible. He is thankful for hints at program errors,
but cannot guarantee their elimination.
