Jigsaw 2 for Windows
Version 2.10
(Updated 12/28/94)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-------------------
Jigsaw 2 for Windows is a jigsaw puzzle simulation. You solve the puzzle by
dragging and dropping 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 there is a facility for generating new
puzzles from bitmap files (.BMP or .GIF), so your favorite images of loved
ones or whatever can be made into jigsaw puzzles. (The puzzle generation
feature is only available to registered owners of Jigsaw 2).
System requirements for running Jigsaw 2: IBM-compatible computer
(80286 or higher) with a Microsoft-compatible mouse, VGA (or higher)
display, and Windows 3.1.
