UCKERS
"This is an implementation of Ludo - the name given to the game by the Royal Navy is used! Up to 4 people can play, any number of them being computer players. Get your four men to the finish, 'bopping' other men and being 'bopped' on the way.
3D graphics provide a real board-game feel to this software. Kids (and grown-up kids) will just love this traditional game. This game is NOT available as shareware - the only way to obtain it is through Pepys, so order it now."

BATTLESHIPS
"This is an implementation of the old favourite battleships, but using the power of the PC to add some enhancements. Place your ships on the naval battlefield of your choice - you select the size and the number of ships. Then start trying to find the enemy - the computer plays your opponent.
Select different levels of computer intelligence to play against, from moronic through normal to genius. 3D and motion sequences of sinkings add impact to the game as you see your fleet go under the waves - it motivates you to hit the enemy's radar images first.
This game is NOT available as shareware - the only way to obtain it is through Pepys, so order it now."

SECURE SHELL
"The trouble with PCs is that anyone can dabble with your system - risking whole directories being wiped out. Imagine your six year old son let loose in File Manager or your temp in the office typing 'del *.*' !
Secure Shell for DOS provides an easy-to-use menu which runs direct from autoexec.bat. Only you know the password to get into DOS or a full Windows session. Users (office staff or the kids at home) can only select programs to which YOU allow them access.
Secure Shell for Windows is selected from the DOS menu, replacing Program Manager. Users can only access those programs you allow them too! Complete with a Windows-based Menu maintenance utility, this menu and shell software (for both DOS and Windows) gives you complete control over your system."

INSTALLATION PROGRAM
"Did you like the installation program? If you are selling software then we can make the source code for this program available to you.
After having failed to make the Visual Basic Distribution Wizard work, we decided to create our own generic installer. The program allows you to set up multiple programs (one per directory) on each floppy disk. VBRUN300.DLL and the installation program (PEPYINST.EXE) sit above the program directories.
You define the files to be installed (and created - simple text files such as configuration and system data files can be created on installation) in a file packlist.txt - see our example on the our distribution disk. The user then just follows some simple instructions. You can even use it to create your distribution disks."
