---------------- ODM #79 CONTENTS ---------------- Feature of the Month - KNIGHT LIFE CHESS Put a little "night life" in your life today by playing Knight Life Chess. This "Softdisk original" program has all the right ingredients--great 3-D graphics, animation, sound (music or beeps), board color options, board rotation, multiple chess sets, multiple skill levels, a 2-D board for players who prefer a more conservative game, and lots more. You've got to try it to believe it. ArtWare - .PCX CLIP ART Since our artists created this great-looking summer clip art, we just had to go ahead and publish it so you'll have time to place it in your summer invitations and newsletters. Many popular commercial and shareware paint programs, word processors and desktop publishing programs are .PCX compatible. Check your software manuals if you aren't sure. CustomWare - BACKDROPPERS II Well, your report cards from issue #77 are coming in now, and we have been pleasantly surprised at the reception you gave our first Windows bitmap (.BMP) files. So, we've decided to give you more! This month we have eight bitmap files for your enjoyment, some of them have been scanned from outdoor photographs, and some have been painstakingly drawn one tortuous pixel at a time. See if you can tell which is which! HomeWare - MESSAGE CENTER You can use this handy text pop-up program to take phone messages for your family members or your co-workers. Install Message Center as a memory resident utility (TSR) or run it from DOS as you do your other programs. Includes a variety of "fields" or blanks for complete messaging. Not only can you take down the caller's message, you can note what YOU told the caller. MindWare - CRYPTO SLEUTH If you enjoy working the kind of Crypto-quotes that are published in many newspapers, you'll love Crypto Sleuth! Break a "letter substitution" code to uncover the hidden quotations. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked! OfficeWare - THE QUOTE WRIGHT When you need a quote for your next speech or paper, you'll turn to The Quote Wright.
