FALL-ZONE for WINDOWS - (C) PC SOLUTIONS
----------------------------------------
Select RUN from the Windows program manager File menu, then
type in the filename & path of FALL11.EXE to run it..
FALL-ZONE is a simple yet addictive strategy game. You must
guide ERIC through the falling mines to collect the gold bars.
When you pick up a WIPER, the mines are counteracted for a few
moves, or you can pick up dynamite and blast a path through.
You only need to collect 3 of the 4 gold bars to progress to
the next screen, so plan your route carefully! When you have
collected 3 bars, you progress to a screen with a higher mine
fall-rate.
To move ERIC, use the cursor-pad keys around the number '5'.
Think of the cursor pad as a compass - ie. '9' moves up-right.
Hit F1 to use a stick of dynamite. Hit F7 to toggle sound off
and back on. Remember to collect stcks of dynamite on early
screens - you will need it later on. Sometimes it pays to
go out of your way to collect WIPERS - they reverse the effects
of the falling mines.
PLEASE remember that if you got this program from a magazine, you
have not actually brought it! We don't see any of that money, and rely on YOU
to register for the full version of our programs.
HOW TO ORDER

Some programs have both Windows & DOS versions, others DOS only.
In either case, easy WINDOWS install is provided for all programs.

PC SOLUTIONS, Dept XX , P.O. Box 954, Bournemouth BH7 6YJ, ENGLAND.
EMAIL
-----
If you have a modem and comms software, you can leave Electonic mail
on the PC SOLUTIONS area on the GLASS ASYLUM BBS - (phone 0268.510709).
This is a great BBS, which has a huge amount of online software and news.
They also provide INTERNET access for around 30 pounds a year - very
competitive pricing.
US orders
---------
We now have a service for US customers to place VISA/ACCESS orders - note
this is for CREDIT CARD ORDERS ONLY in the US only! Do NOT send credit
card orders to PC SOLUTIONS - we cannot process them. US customers can
also order direct from PCS with thier normal dollar cheques.
You can order with MC, Visa, Amex or Discover from the Public (software)
Library, by calling 713-524-6394 (speech) or by FAX to 713-524-6398
or by CIS Email to 71355,470. You can also mail credit orders to PSL at
PO Box 35705, Houston, Texas 77235-5705
THE ABOVE NUMBERS ARE FOR ORDERS ONLY.
When you order, PSL pass the order onto us to ship - so, please allow 2-3
weeks for processing and air-mail delivery. All enquiries about the status
of shipment of the order, refunds, registration options, product details,
technical support, volume discounts, dealer pricing, etc, must be directed
to PC SOLUTIONS, Box 954, Bournemouth BH7 6YJ, ENGLAND.
TELEPHONE and TECHNICAL SUPPORT
-------------------------------
This is always a tricky subject for Shareware authors. Now it is important
to remember that when you buy Shareware from a library, or purchase a magazine
disk with Shareware on, the Author (ie us!) see NOTHING of the money you have
paid - it all goes to the magazine/library concerned. Now considering that
the number of Shareware copies of PC SOLUTIONS programs runs into MILLIONS
- we have worked this out - you will understand that if we publish a phone
number, we would need an operator full time just to deal with enquiries
about software we have not been paid a cent for! In addition, at this stage
we are not able to take VISA/ACCESS orders, so the principle advantage
is lost anyway. For this reason, phone support is only available on
request for REGISTERED USERS - ie. people who have brought our software.
We have made arragements for US customers to place VISA/ACCESS orders
over the phone with a third party (see above) - however this is
strictly sales and orders only - any technical questions MUST
be mailed direct to us. In fact, if you think about it, how often can
you get technical phone support for free anywhere? You usually can't get
through to someone who knows what they are talking about! If you do have
a problem or question, you are welcome to write to us - but do check
things through first - 99% of problems are due to user errors rather
than problems in our programs. When you write to us, include your own
phone or fax number if you wish - if it is important, we can contact you.

are superb programs, with infinite play-levels, superb graphics, full game

playing power that equals or surpasses any other program - up to grandmaster
level, the PROFESSIONAL editions of DYNAMO, SAGE and DAMA ITALIANA have even
more features. To start, you have even larger opening and endgame databases,
for more accurate and stronger play - with the option to extend the database
yourself. There are also database search options - for instance, you can

position - users of CHESS-BASE programs will know how useful that is!
The play is so strong that even the World Draughts Champion uses
our program to help with analysis! There are advanced game annotation
features, with the ability to output the resultant game or board position to
a word processor. SAGE PROFESSIONAL also comes with the PRO version of BLITZ.
Also included with each of the PROFESSIONAL editions of our programs is

CODE - so you can have a go at writing your own program! This program will

is necessary to use it. The code is heavily annotated - you do not need a
high level of programming skill to start learning! Each PRO program comes
with both DOS and complimentary WINDOWS versions - ie. SAGE PRO comes with
BLITZ for WINDOWS.

AND FINALLY..
-------------
People often ask how we generate such small, fast programs - well special
thanks must go to Borland and their excellent Turbo-C compiler - which
we use to generate both DOS and WINDOWS versions of our programs. Together
with our special tools and graphics libraries (see our Util-Pack) we can
generate very efficient code. Overall we find the Turbo-C compiler to be
superior to other comparable C/C++ compilers - especially at the price they
are sold for! We have also just got the Borland C 4.0 compiler for WINDOWS
/DOS - and again we can recommend this Rolls-Royce of languages. If you
have had to put up with the large overheads imposed by Visual and Quick
Basic, we can strongly recommend the Borland option.
Contact Borland UK on Freephone 0800 212727 (or 0734 321150) for further info.
