* REGISTERING SHAREWARE *
***************************************************************************
Shareware is a means of distributing software. Under the shareware concept,
software may be freely copied and passed along to others, or distributed
through bulletin board systems or national networks.
As a recipient of a shareware program, you may use the software for a short
trial period to determine if it meets your needs. If the software is not
suitable, then you can discard it. If you decide to use it, you must pay by
registering. When you register a Cascoly shareware program, you receive:
* A copy of the latest version of the program
* A bonus of any other Cascoly program of equal or lesser value
(see REGISTER.FRM for details)
* A free introductory account on CompuServe including a private User
ID number and password, $15 introductory usage credit, and a
complimentary subscription to CompuServe Magazine, - a $30 value!
* A minimum of 90 days online support via CompuServe or by
telephone. Support by mail is also available, if accompanied
by a SASE.
* With some programs, you will also receive bonus maps, datasets
or puzzles.
To register a program, enter the following command:
COPY REGISTER.FRM LPT1:
and the order form will be copied to your printer. Check off the program
you wish to register, and check the program you wish to receive as a bonus.
***************************************************************************
GREEN: In GREEN you help the planters as they work to prevent the pavers
from turning farms into parking lots. Pavers include mall developers, real
estate agents, clear-cut loggers and other exploiters. There are several
different maps, of varying difficulty. You have the ability to plant hedges,
add walls, and to destroy pavement. GREEN is unique, yet similar in concept
to Populous and SimCity.
ANTIC -- AntiC is a cross between Othello and Life. The object is to change
all the squares in the pattern to the same color using the fewest number of
transformations. Anti-Chaos networks are formed from squares connected to
each other by directional lines. Each square is one of 3 colors and sends
its color to the following squares in the network. If only one color comes
into a square, it takes that color. If two colors come in, they cancel and
the square assumes the third color. Each time you change a square, all the
colors are recalculated and redrawn. Ages 8 and up. Mouse/ EGA
WEBS is a deceptively simple solitaire game requiring both strategy and
cunning. You claim nodes on a web while trying to limit the nodes claimed
to your computer opponent. Automatic display of potential moves, a variety
of webs and difficulties give hours of challenge. NEW IN V1.1: Web maker
feature included. Registered users are eligible to enter a cash prize
contest. Ages 8 and up. Requires mouse/EGA.
PEG: No one really knows when PEG solitaire was invented. Some stories trace
it to prisoners during the French Revolution, but published descriptions
date at least 100 years earlier. Most likely the game is even older. PEG
presents variations on the classic peg solitaire with multiple starting
positions, and varying endgames. One of the pleasures of playing the game
on your computer is that you can quickly set up the board to try different
strategies. Ages 8 to 88. Requires mouse/EGA.
ATC -- An air traffic controller game that's perfect for a few minutes or
hours of fun. Easy to learn, but difficult to master. The game tracks best
scores at each of 20 levels of difficulty. Ages 10 and up. (Supports
monochrome or color)
BORDER -- a cross between GO and connect the dots, this abstract strategy
game for 2 players involves enclosing more area than your opponent, while
preventing them from stopping you. Ages 12 and up. CGA/EGA
ECOMASTER -- A diverting ecology game for one or more players in which you
bid for and trade animals based on their abilities to thrive in different
environments. No previous biological experience is assumed. For 1 or more
players. Typical games last less than an hour. For ages 10 and up.
FICTIONARY <tm> -- The game of fantastic and farfetched definitions. Each
round one player chooses a word that no other player knows. You can choose
your own word or pick one from the large selection included with the game.
Then each other player makes up their own definition for the word. Everyone
votes for what they think is the correct definition. Points are scored for
guessing the proper one, or misleading other players. Special rules allow
play by 2 or even 1 player. Ages 12 and up.
OTHER APPLICATIONS:
-------------------
QUILT is a diverting graphics program or nonresident screen saver, using
half square quilting patterns. You can create specific patterns or set the
program on sequential mode for continuously changing patterns. Change
widths, patterns, rotate or flip the designs, or colors for "billions and
billions" of combinations. Full EGA and VGA support, with configurable
color palettes chosen from 64 possible colors. EGA/VGA req. Ages 8 to 88.
CAPBUF is a memory resident (TSR) program that lets you capture any text
screen and save it for later processing or printing. It is quite useful for
programs that do not otherwise provide means of printing their results. Use
it for intermediate results of games, or collecting copies of messages while
on a bulletin board. (mono or graphics)
UDECIDE helps you make decisions such as which software or hardware to
purchase; ratings surveys; which project to pursue; ranking; or selecting
colleges, movies, stocks, or wines. You enter a list of elements by which
you will evaluate the contenders, optionally giving each a weight. Then you
enter the possible options, and assign a value to each element. You can
then sort to obtain an ordered list of the best options. Or you can perform
what-if analyses by changing elements or weights. (mono or graphics)
CHRONOS
How old was Paul Revere when he rode into history? How many years separated
Michelangelo and Cortez? With CHRONOS, you sort and select by individual
people and events, or nations and occupations, to develop new insights and
trace patterns across different eras and cultures. CHRONOS is used by
history and art students, genealogists, teachers, writers and others
interested in exploring historical relations or cultural events.
CHRONOS comes with several datasets, which you can modify. Or you can design
your own. Registered users will receive the current program along with
additional datasets, such as WW2(Pacific) and 20th century.

for interactive, multiplayer use on CompuServe:
