The CompactPro archive includes a small documentation (...)
You should try it before saying that you don't like games !
This program is shareware
A French version and the sources (Pascal) are available for 10$
PS: Don't be sad or angry if you loose !
I made level 1 easy for that reason
(for beginners like me who like to win...)
Have fun

to obtain the latest version, please read the documentation.
The only modifications that I made were to ensure that the included

#### BINHEX knight-edit-152.hqx ****
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1992 16:47:58 -0600
From: elpeters@lamar.ColoState.EDU (Eric Peters)
Subject: [*] KnightEdit 1.5.2
Hello, All:
Here is the newest version (1.5.2) of KnightEdit, a chess-notation editing
program. Some have called KnightEdit a game recorder. It reads and writes long
algebraic chess notation to and from text files. It animates the moves from a
text file onto a graphic chess board. After the chess move is made, post the
text file either on a communication network or on an office environment network,
or simply print out a text file and mail it to a friend.
Note that KnightEdit IS NOT a computer chess game.
--------------------------------------------
Shareware:
Try the program for 15 days. If you continue using it, pay the shareware fee; otherwise, destroy your copy or give it to a friend for a 15 day trial.
Mail a $10.00 registration fee to:
Carpenter Software
KnightEdit v1.5.2
PO Box 80743
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87198-0743
Commercial distribution of KnightEdit v1.5 or higher requires a license from
author and a registration fee. KnightEdit program is a property of Jesse
Carpenter.
--------------------------------------------
• Special features include:
--------------------------------------------
• KnightEdit writes and reads long algebraic chess notation to and from text
files.
• You can move the chess pieces on the chess board with the mouse. At the bottom
of the chess board when selected or active, the next turn number with the
appropriate chess piece is shown followed by the board coordinate of the
position of the mouse hand.
• The smart chess board or (AI) allows only a one move turn and only to the the
appropriate space. The smart chess board allows castling, in passing, pawn
exchanging, and error checking when reading text. Also smart chess determines a
check. If there is a checkmate or stalemate, the king cannot move.
• Animate under the Chess Moves Menu allows KnightEdit to animate the moves that
are listed on the text file. If it is desired for any reason to discontinue
animation, simply hold down the mouse button until the animation stops.
• Select Study under the Chess Moves Menu to review all chess moves without altering any text moves. It has a forward and reverse button, and a set and last move button. A quick way to study a game.
• Select Write under the Chess Moves Menu to Re-Write chess moves onto the text file. This option is good to use for rewriting incoming text file from others sources so chess notation is rewritten for KnightEdit compatibility. Also can write short algebraic chess notation by selecting the option in the preference dialog.
• Preference under the Option Menu allows you to save choice of chess piece,
orientation of board, and other options to a preference file. Thus upon starting
KnightEdit program, these option are set to New Files and to Text files. Also if
NOT using for Text Only in preference, options are saved to the text-style file.
The text-style file will set options upon opening, it has precedence over the
preference file.
• There is a print capability. If the text edit window is active while selecting print under the File menu, it will print WYSIWYG. ALSO if the chess board window is active, it will print the chess board.
• Braces {} and carets ^^ are used to manipulate how KnightEdit will read
the move list. KnightEdit will ignore any moves in a set of braces. But if
there is a caret on the immediate right of a left brace, KnightEdit will read
the contents within the braces. If it has two carets, this will indicate to
KnightEdit to continue reading on the the next set of braces that has a caret.
The second caret of the first set is only needed to set the continuation flag
and no others are needed. Also if a caret is placed any where other than on
the right of a left brace, KnightEdit will exit the reading except when
placed within braces without a caret on the right of a left brace.
This is great if you are playing more than one game to a correspondent; it allows KnightEdit to read one game at a time with out getting a read error.
This should replace the version currently in the archives. Please note that I am
NOT the author of this program. Direct bug reports to Jesse Carpenter (who IS
the author) at: JesseJr@aol.com

Enjoy!

Subject: Line Up
This is version 2.0.1 of Line Up!. This replaces Connect Four
2.0 from your games directory. It contains a small bugfix for
System 6 users (both players had the same color). The name is
changed, because somebody told me that the name 'Connect Four',
was copyrighted in the USA.
Line Up! is a board game for one or two persons. This new version
has great new features, including printing, better color support,
cooler sounds, and as the best part the possibility to play
games on two different computers over the AppleTalk network.

Pentominoes is a board game where you must fit 12 pieces (of five squares
each) into a variety of boards. Pieces may be rotated or flipped, but may
not overlap each other. A great geometric puzzler that goes back 40 years!
Pentominoes 1.4.1 fixes several technical bugs (27, to be exact) from version
1.4 Pentominoes is distributed under the GNU General Public License; complete
C source code will be uploaded to the archive sites in a separate archive. If
you do not have FTP access, e-mail the author at f8dy@netaxs.com requesting
a copy of the source code, the game itself, or a list of other programs by
the same author.
System 6 and 7 compatible; supports B/W, grayscale, and color monitors;
includes sounds. Sounds work under system 6, but may require 6.0.7.

Subject: polyominoes-40.cpt.hqx
Polyominoes 4.0 is really three games in one. In game mode, you have a very
interesting strategy game in which you try to put the last piece on the board.
The pieces can be flipped or rotated in any manner. With Version 4.0, you can
use any of the over 30 different boards, or create one of your own using the
Board Editor. In puzzle mode, you can try to place all the pieces on any of
the boards. In spanning puzzle mode, you try to span the board with the
fewest number of pieces. You can use pentominoes, tetrominoes, or trominoes.
The program keeps track of all of your best efforts.
Polyominoes is ShareWare, $7.00 registration fee. It should work on any
Macintosh with either System 6 or 7.
Major changes since version 3.0:
% Spanning puzzle (in addition to game and puzzle)
% Program keeps user statistics (for game, puzzle, and spanning puzzle)
% Larger boards (up to 12x20)
% High scores list
% Better rotate/flip interface
% Three different piece sets (pentominoes, tetrominoes, trominoes)
% Over 30 different boards

Dear Moderator,
This is a repost of a recent submission of the file Risk_II.sit.hqx.
Please submit this into your info-mac/game directory this last time.
This is a colorized version (modified using ResEdit) of the old
black/white Risk! This makes excellent use of the 256-color
mode of any color Macintosh with a color display. This has been
corrected of a minor flaw where the OK button in the victory
dialog window did not work. It now works. The color background
was modified slightly for better display on black/white Macs, as
well as the Risk! card backface. This game still works on the old
black/white Macs, since the modifications are only resources, that
is, the actual game code is still original and unchanged in this
colorized version. Therefore, this is not an unauthorized "hack".
It should be noted that though this game does not explicitly
announce anywhere within itself whether or not it is either share-
ware or freeware, one can assume freeware since it has been
available for downloading on ftp sites for quite some time now.
Hence all credit (c) rightfully belongs to the author of the game:
Antonie J. Engel
60 Pinewood Rd.
Bolton, MA 01740
Since this game now works for both black/white and color Macs,
it is certainly worth it to download. Enjoy!
A note to the moderators: I had a friend submit this game
on her own account about 4 days ago in the process of
showing her how to find the submissions addresses of
some of the sites, and how to submit the files for archiving,
but this time I am just doing it myself, so as not to involve
her a second time.
