Jigsaw 2 for Windows Version 2.14 (Updated 10/9/95) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION ------------------- Jigsaw 2 for Windows is a jigsaw puzzle simulation. You solve the puzzle by dragging and rotating the puzzle pieces with a mouse. The puzzle pieces have the traditional interlocking shapes, and the pieces lock together when properly arranged. A color picture is formed when the puzzle is fully assembled. The computer takes care of the mundane tasks, like finding all the edge pieces and sorting pieces by color. You can save your work in progress and return to it later, so this jigsaw puzzle won't tie up your kitchen table. And unlike traditional jigsaw puzzles, there's never a missing piece! Several jigsaw puzzles are included, and you can make new puzzles from bitmap files (.BMP or .GIF), so your favorite images can be made into jigsaw puzzles. (The puzzle generation feature is only available to registered owners of Jigsaw 2). COPYRIGHT NOTICE ---------------- JIGSAW.EXE and JIGSAW.HLP are copyright 1993-1995 by Walter A. Kuhn.
