- The following is a current list of our shareware programs.
-
- Shareware is a means of distributing software. Under the shareware concept,
- software may be freely copied and passed along to others, or distributed
- through bulletin board systems or national networks.
-
- As a recipient of a shareware program, you may use the software for a short
- trial period to determine if it meets your needs. If the software is not
- suitable, then you can discard it. If you decide to use it, you should
- register it. As of May 1, 1990, all Cascoly games will cost $20 each to
- register. When you register you will receive the latest copy of the
- program, plus one or more similar shareware programs. Registration also
- entitles you to online support via CompuServe. Send email to Cascoly
- Software, CompuServe number 76703,3046. (We will also answer mail from
- registered users.)
-
- As an additional benefit, registration entitles you to a free introductory
- account on CompuServe. (Details will be sent when you register.)
-
- All programs run on the IBM PC family of machines. CGA or higher graphics
- board is required, except where noted. Disks with all the programs on it
- are available for $15 shipping and handling. (This fee can be applied in full
- towards any subsequent registrations. )
-
- ATC -- An air traffic controller game that's perfect for a few minutes or
- hours of fun. Easy to learn, but difficult to master. The game tracks best
- scores at each of 20 levels of difficulty. Ages 10 and up. V 1.0 (Supports
- monochrome)
-
- BORDER -- a combination of GO and connect the dots, this abstract strategy
- game for 2 players involves enclosing more area than your opponent, while
- preventing them from stopping you. Ages 12 and up. V 1.1
-
- ECOMASTER -- A diverting ecology game for one or more players in which you
- bid for and trade animals based on their abilities to thrive in different
- environments. No previous biological experience is assumed. Mildly
- educational without belaboring the point. For 1 or more players. Typical
- games last less than an hour. For ages 10 and up. V 1.1
-
- FICTIONARY <tm> -- The game of fantastic and farfetched definitions. Each
- round one player chooses a word that none of the players knows. You can
- choose your own word or pick one from the large selection included with the
- game. Then each other player makes up their own definition for the word.
- Everyone votes for the word they think is the correct definition and points
- are scored for guessing the proper one, or misleading other players.
- Special rules allow play by 2 or even 1 player. Ages 12 and up. V 1.31
-
- The registered version of this program also includes a utility program that
- lets you customize the word list that comes with the game. You can even
- create specialized lists for use as a vocabulary tester.
-
- Other Programs:
- CAPBUF is a memory resident (TSR) program that lets you capture any text
- screen and save it for later processing or printing. It is quite useful for
- programs that do not otherwise provide means of printing their results. Use
- it for intermediate results of games, or collecting copies of messages while
- on a bulletin board. Also includes a filter to remove line drawing
- characters.
-
- (mono or graphics) V 1.4. $30 registration fee.
-
- UDECIDE helps you make decisions such as which software or hardware to
- purchase; ratings surveys; which project to pursue; ranking; or selecting
- colleges, movies, stocks, or wines. You enter a list of elements by which
- you will evaluate the contenders, optionally giving each a weight. Then you
- enter the possible options, and assign a value to each element. You can
- then sort to obtain an ordered list of the best options. Or you can perform
- what-if analyses by changing elements or weights.
-
- (mono or graphics) V 1.03 $30 registration fee.
-
- CHRONOS
- How old was Paul Revere when he rode into history? How many years separated
- Michelangelo and Cortez? With CHRONOS, you can sort and select by
- individual people and events, or groups and factions, to develop new
- insights and trace patterns across different eras and cultures. CHRONOS
- will be useful to history and art students, teachers, genealogists, writers
- or anyone interested in exploring historical relations or cultural events.
-
- CHRONOS comes with 2 datasets already installed, which you can modify or add
- to. Or you can design your own. Another use might be to add your family
- tree to a dataset of 20th century events. Registered users will receive the
- current program along with any updated datasets available.
-
- (mono or graphics) V 1.04 $30 registration fee.
