^CJohn "BEZ" Besnard

In the 1920's America went puzzle crazy.  Tons of twisted metal
puzzles that were seemingly impossible to take apart were sold.
Then we discovered wooden blocks in a box.  You were supposed to
SLIDE the blocks around until you moved into a specific goal
position.  SLIDE GLIDE computerizes the blocks.

In the 20's you could cheat and pull a piece out of the box and
put it back in where it 'belonged'.  Sorry, but in SLIDE GLIDE,
the pieces stay put.  There are three tests included in SLIDE
GLIDE.  Each screen is similar.  The starting position is
shown on the left side of the puzzle.  The goal position is
shown on the right.

After pressing a key to clear the opening screen, you will start
on the first puzzle.  Just type in the letter of the piece you
want to move.  If there is room to move it, it will SLIDE on its
own.  If ever there is more than one way to move, the program
will ask you to pick a direction with the arrow keys.

^C^BUsing the mouse^B

If you are using a mouse, the cursor on the screen looks like an
arrow.  If it were real, you could shoot the creator of these
puzzles.  Thank heaven it's not!  Put it on your choices.  Click
and release to activate.  Use the mouse to answer yes and no,
too.  The left button is yes.  Click the right for no.

^BThe following keys control game actions:^B

Press ^BESC^B to end the program or to exit menus without change.



^C^BSTUMPED^B

Don't feel bad, so were we until we called BEZ and asked (read: begged,
pleaded, cried in tortured pain) for the solutions to these mind
benders.  We've included the solution to the puzzles on a file called
SLIDESLV.TXT on this disk.  We are not going to make viewing these
spoilers easy though.  You'll have to use your favorite ASCII file
lister (LIST, EZ, Speed View, etc.) or word processor to view or print.
If you don't have an ASCII file lister you can always type:
^BTYPE SLIDESLV.TXT^B to view the file on the screen.  Use the
PAUSE key to stop the scrolling long enough to read.  If you
want to print the file enter the following at the dos prompt:
^BCOPY SLIDESLV.TXT PRN^B.

This all assumes that you've logged dos to the correct drive.
If the above statement stumps you, don't panic!  Just exit ODM
right now and type the DOS command at the next prompt that
appears.

^C^BOutside of On Disk Monthly^B
