-
- What makes Jigsaws Galore the best?
- ===================================
-
- 1. Powerful! Play and create jigsaws from 4 to 4,000 pieces.
-
- 2. Easy! Even a complete novice can start solving jigsaws immediately.
- The jigsaw preview screen makes finding your favorite jigsaw a snap
- and even lets you change the number of pieces in the jigsaw.
-
- 3. Full-featured! Automatically arrange pieces around the outside of the
- board to leave room to solve the puzzle. Other programs make you scroll
- the screen to find a piece. You can never lose a piece "off screen" with
- this program! We take away the drudgery by sorting pieces by shape or
- color, as you wish. Change the size of pieces on the fly. Now you can
- fit all of the pieces on the board all of the time. And it's so easy to
- create new jigsaws! Of course there's flying hints, context sensitive
- help, toolbars, status bar, sound and music, as you'd expect.
-
- 4. Fun! The jigsaws look (and sound) great. Just like real ones. Sneaky
- cheat modes let you flash the piece you're looking for, or fetch it, or
- turn pieces the right way up. You can even watch the jigsaw solve itself.
-

-
- About the program:
- ==================
-
- The program requires Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 and the evaluation version
- takes around 4MB of disk space when installed. Please see the online
- ordering information for details of how to order the full version and
- extra jigsaws, including CD-ROM version with 130 jigsaws and bonus games.
