Super Maxit
Version 1.00
Written by: Joe M. Paris
Copyright 1990 Expert Source Code, Inc.
REQUIREMENTS
Super Maxit runs in 640 X 350 X 16 EGA graphics mode.
DESCRIPTION
Super Maxit is a strategy board game. There are several
board styles that the player can select. Each board consists
of a series of raised tiles that contain either a positive or
a negitive number. Using the left or right arrow keys the
player moves to the desired number tile, then presses enter to
select it. The players score is then increased or decreased
(black numbers are positive, red numbers are negitive) by the
value of the selected tile. The computer then moves vertically
to select a tile. The game ends when either the player or the
computer can not take a number tile. The player with the higher
score at end of the game wins.

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few
specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are
accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the
programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method
of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Super Maxit must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Super Maxit is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warrant-
ies, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequen-
tial, which may result from the use of Super Maxit."
Super Maxit is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with
your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part
of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is
to provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using Super Maxit and continue to use
Super Maxit after a two week trial period, you must make a regis-
tration payment of $15.00 to Expert Source Code, Inc. The
$15.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any
one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just
like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of Super Maxit must register and pay
for their copies of Super Maxit within 30 days of first use
or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be
made by contacting Expert Source Code, Inc.
Anyone distributing Super Maxit for any kind of remuneration
must first contact Expert Source Code, Inc. at the address below
for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to
its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors
may begin offering Super Maxit immediately (However Expert Source
Code, Inc. must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of Super Maxit.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Super Maxit along to
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered
users will receive a copy of the latest version of the Super Maxit
system.
