- THE PIT 3.50
-
- ANSI INTERFACE INSTALLATION
-
- This document gives step by step instructions for using
- the ANSI Interface with QModem, Telix, Procomm, and Telemate.
- If your communications program is not similar to one of these,
- call our Customer Service Line at:

- FREEWARE
- ~~~~~~~~
- We decided that we want more users to use these interfaces than they have
- been. And after one year of charging for these interfaces we feel that we need
- to enhance the playability of our game more. Therefore from this point on all
- of THE PIT user interfaces are FREEWARE. Users are encouraged to use them as
- much as they like.
-
- I only ask for a small favor in return. When you walk by a SALVATION ARMY
- SANTA this CHRISTMAS drop a dollar in his can will you? That dollar is a small
- sum to ask to help starving children this CHRISTMAS.
