- This is CFMTS1.TIL. We hope you enjoy it--it's a very special Mahjongg Tile
- Set!
-
- This tile set is unique in that it was created by the joint efforts of a
- large group, all of them members and staff on the Crafts Forum on CompuServe.
- CFMTS stands for Crafts Forum Mahjongg Tile Set.
-
- When we first opened Crafts forum in July 1991, we had to find files for each
- of our new libraries. It seems strange now with our overflowing libraries,
- but at the time that was no easy chore.
-
- So I approached Nels Anderson, since I've been a great fan of his MahJongg
- game for a long time, and he kindly agreed to put together a set of
- crafts-related tiles and upload that for us. These tiles were all very nice,
- quilt blocks and so on, but they received only a little bit of attention
- because nobody really thought to look for MahJongg tiles in Crafts forum!
-
- Then in early summer 1993, one of our members mentioned that she had made a
- quilt tile set. It turned out to be different from either of the quilt tile
- sets already in the file we had, and she uploaded it for us. This sparked
- interest in the game itself, not only among the quilters but various other
- forum members as well.
-
- Since Nels' MahJongg includes a nice little graphics program, the TileMaker,
- we decided to make room for it in our Library 14, Graphics/Portfolio. Then
- one of our members, Debi Richards, suggested, how about a Crafts forum set?
- This tile set is the result of that effort.
-
- Of course, Crafts forum has thousands of members, many of whom don't have IBM
- compatible computers or don't play computer games, but we did get some
- wonderful contributions. Debi Richards, the genius who came up with this
- idea, also was kind enough to coordinate it and to help put together the
- final set. Since July 25 is the forum's anniversary, we released the set for
- public download on July 25, 1993.
-
- We call it CFMTS1.TIL because we fully expect there will be others, as time
- goes on. Crafters are naturally creative, of course, and we're sure that
- more folks will want to put together more tile sets in the future. So stop
- by any time and check for other Crafts tile sets. You'll find them in our
- Graphics Library! All submissions for THIS set, whether included in the set
- itself or not, will also be available in Library 14, Graphics/Portfolio.
-
- Thanks to Nels Anderson for his help and support while we put this together,
- and to Debi Richards/AK 71664,1470 for offering up this idea and following up
- on it for us. Thanks, as well, to: MaryBeth Finnerty, Debra Freisleben, Anne

- forum hopes you enjoy it!
