- The software accompanying this document is free: yours to enjoy just as I
- enjoyed creating it. However, if you do want to express your thanks to the
- author with a donation of $10 or more, you will receive a disk containing
- the programs listed below (or as many as will fit). Please specify 5¼" or
- 3½" disk.
-
-
- JOTTO
- -----
- The classic word-guessing game. Not Hangman - more like Mastermind. Your
- deductive powers will be taxed as you use ten guesses to discover the
- hidden word. The on-screen scratchpad will help.
-
-
- KAYAK
- -----
- Two kayaks race across an ocean strait, contending with wind, currents,
- tide-rips, and passing freighters. Two players, or you versus the computer.
- This is an exercise in vectors, not an arcade game. Includes documentation
- on the nature of tidal currents and the problems they pose for navigators.
-
-
- PAN1091
- -------
- Complete setup for the Panasonic KX-P1091 or Roland PR-1011 printer.
- Includes on-screen drawing of downloadable characters so you can design
- your own monograms, dingbats, foreign characters etc.
-
-
- XIANGQI
- -------
- An ancient Chinese version of chess. Play against the computer, save and
- restore positions, set up problems. Complete documentation and on-screen
- help. Mouse optional.
-
-
- WANG-TO-VP
- ----------
- Read Wang WP Plus archive disks and convert text files to plain ASCII or
- Ventura Publisher "generated" format complete with text attributes,
- non-ASCII characters, and style tags. (Being rather specialized, this
- program may not be on your disk unless you request it.)
-

- None of the above requires a graphics card. Those below do.

-
- ANIMAL
- ------
- Another Chinese strategy game, this one more suitable for younger people.
- Try to get one of your eight animals into the opponent's den without being
- eaten. EGA 640x350 graphics.
-
-
- TP-ICON
- -------
- A drawing tool for programmers who use the Borland Graphical Interface.
- Create images of up to 68 by 94 pixels for use with the PutImage
- procedure/function in Turbo Pascal or Turbo C. Two levels of zoom for easy
- placement of pixels. Automatic line, circle, and rectangle draw, ten fill
- patterns, and complete palette control (use any 16 of 64 colors). Move,
- flip, and merge images. Documentation includes complete info on how to
- incorporate image files into your programs, and an animation demo in both
- languages. Runs in EGA 640x350 mode; mouse required.
-
-
- BGICLIP
- -------
- Two more programs to produce and display "BGI clip art" for use with
- PutImage.
-
- - CLIP lets you cut an image of any size (up to 64K) from a 640x350 or
- 640x480 picture in PCX format. Lets you use all the powerful drawing
- tools of programs like Paintbrush and Deluxe Paint II Enhanced, then
- export the images to your own EGA and VGA programs.
-
- - CLIPSHOW displays your collection of images from CLIP or TP-ICON,
- complete with palette changes.
-
-
- PCXPAS
- ------
- Have you ever wanted to write graphics-based software and been frustrated
- by your inability to use full-screen pictures from a painting program?
- This Turbo Pascal unit for displaying PCX graphics files supports most
- CGA, EGA, and VGA display modes. Decoding is done in assembly language and
- is very fast. The package includes Pascal and assembler source code and
- sample implementations.
-
-
- DRAWMOUSE
- ---------
- Another programmer's tool. Enables easy on-screen drawing of mouse cursors
- for incorporation in graphics programs. Runs in three resolutions: low-
- and high-res CGA, and hi-res EGA. Documentation includes a fully commented
- Turbo Pascal unit containing all the common mouse functions.
