- DESCRIPTION
-
- Super Maxit is a strategy board game of numbers. There are
- several board styles that may be selected from. Each board
- consists of raised tiles that contain either a positive or a
- negative number. Using the left and right arrow keys the player
- (or player one) moves horizontally to the desired number tile,
- then presses enter to select it. The computer (or player two
- using the up and down arrow keys) then moves vertically to select
- a tile. The player or computer score is adjusted by the value of
- the selected tile (black numbers are positive, red numbers are
- negative). The game ends when either one player or the computer
- can not take a number tile. The player with the higher score at
- this point wins. Please note that black space within a board
- serves as an obstruction and can not be crossed over.

-

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With regis-
- tration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. 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 is in the method of dis-
- tribution. The 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 per-
- mission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
- You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
-

-
- Super Maxit is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
- charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with
- your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part
- of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is
- to provide personal computer users with quality software without
- high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
- continue to develop new products. If you find this program
- useful and find that you are using Super Maxit and continue to
- use Super Maxit after a two week trial period, you must make a
- registration payment of $15.00 to Expert Source Code, Inc. The
- $15.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any
- one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just
- like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
- number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
- location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
- being used at one location while it's being used at another.
- Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
- same time.
-
- Commercial users of Super Maxit must register and pay for their
- copies of Super Maxit within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting

-

- first contact Expert Source Code, Inc. at the address below for

- offering Super Maxit immediately (However Expert Source Code, Inc.
- must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up to-
- date with the latest version of Super Maxit).

- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will
