-
- DICE MACHINE by Tom Hyde
- ------------------------
-
- In role playing games like "Dungeons
-
- and Dragons" a roll of the dice often
-
- determines your fate. The DICE
-
- MACHINE will give the results
-
- of throwing any number of dice with
-
- any number of sides. DICE MACHINE can
-
- be used as it's presented or converted
-
- into a subroutine for use in other
-
- programs.
-
-
- If you do use it as a subroutine,
-
- however, make sure you keep the
-
- X=RND(-TI) step that insures you get a
-
- different number sequence each time
-
- you run the program.
-
-
- FLOWER POWER by Bob and David Snader;
-
- LAMPMAN by Robin Bowness;
-
- CHARGE by Thomas Cechner
- ------------------------------------
-
-
- The first two of these novelty
-
- programs present graphics; the third
-
- creates a neat sound effect. All are
-
- designed to cater to your sense of
-
- whimsy.
-
-
- JUMBLES by Bill Sander
- ----------------------
-
- Like word puzzles? This program
-
- scrambles the letters of the words you
-
- enter and prints them out on your
-
- printer. Ordinarily, the unscrambled
-
- words are printed out beneath the
-
- puzzle; if you do not wish them to be
-
- printed out, delete the W$(J) in line
-
- 260.

-
- DISK DEFAULT by Richard Penn
- ----------------------------
-
- If this program has been run, you
-
- will not have to type ",8" to use the
-
- disk drive. It changes the default
-
- device number from 1 to 8. You can
-
- also use this program as a subroutine
-
- in your own programs.
-
-
- Pressing STOP/RESTORE will disable
-
- the utility; SYS679 will reactivate
-
- it.
