TO BE INCLUDED WITH MOUSEREADER ALWAYS, THANK YOU.
MouseReader is a result of my frustrations in trying to read files on disk.
I feel that it should be easier to read text on a computer than from a book.
I included the ability to view IFF pictures since text and graphics are very
related. I hope that people will use this software to produce illustrated
books and magazines on disk. I thought of selling it in stores, but I
realized that it would be difficult to allow people to use the software
without spreading it. The only possible way to sell it is through shareware,
allowing its widespread use and getting some financial return. And trust me,
I need some financial return.
Things that aren't obvious:
When using SEARCH, the question mark (?)is a wild card.
Everything is based on the size of the window. When you click on an
up or down arrow, it moves up or down as many lines as are visable. When
you print a page, it prints a visable page.
This program works even if you chose Interlace with 60 characters across.
In this version, you can pull down the picture to look at the text, but
you can't alter the text until you remove the picture. In FUTURE VERSIONS
(If there is any interest) we will correct this, plus include cycling,
HAM capability, and sound playing capability.
If there are any comments you would like to make about the program,
improvments you would like to see, or even other programs you would be
willing to pay for, just include a quick note when you send me your $15.
Also I'm unemployed, so if anyone in California needs an Electronic Tech.,
or a Programmer (or any fairly good paying job), just give me a call.

I wrote this program with the hope that it will be an aid to eduction on
this computer as well as making it possible to have better magazines on
disk. But this program is user supported, so even if you paid money to
receive a disk that includes this program, I haven't been paid until I've
been paid. I will try to make sure that every registered owner gets their
moneys worth. I am trying to set up a magazine that will be paid for by
advertizers, and if it works, you will receive several free issues of a disk
based magazine with very current news and shareware on it. Of course that
all depends on how many registered owners I can get.
