Hero's Heart rev 1.3 December 30, 1993
Copyright 1992-93 Everett Kaser
All Rights Reserved
From the author of SOLITILE, SNARF, and SHERLOCK
comes a new game to challenge your mind!
Hero's Heart is a puzzle game requiring careful, logical thinking.
High resolution color graphics provide a friendly user interface and
a large playfield upon which many different types of objects are
carefully arranged. You control the movement of the Hero. Each time
you move the Hero, all of the other "objects" on the playfield get a
chance to move; some will, some won't. Your goal is to pick up all of
the Hearts and then reach the Exit. Each level is a stand-alone
puzzle. There are 25 different levels in the Shareware game, and an
editor is built into the program for you to create new puzzles with
which to challenge family and friends. Quick reflexes are not needed
(nor will they do you any good). A sharp mind, however, and the
ability to see relationships and causes & effects WILL help.
REQUIREMENTS:
IBM PC compatible computer
minimum of 360K available RAM
EGA or VGA display adapter
Mouse is optional
DOS 3.0 or greater

I. ASP OMBUDSMAN AND DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
to continue using the software to receiving an updated program with
a printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In
both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference
is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or
to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permiss-
ion before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's com-
mercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead
is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
II. DISCLAIMER, LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND SUPPORT
--- DISCLAIMER ---
Users of Hero's Heart must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"HERO'S HEART is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
the use of HERO'S HEART."
--- LICENSE ---
--- USE AND DISTRIBUTION BY INDIVIDUALS:
HERO'S HEART is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to
the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but
please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The
essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer
users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you
find this program useful and find that you are using HERO'S HEART and
continue to use HERO'S HEART after a reasonable trial period, you must
make a registration payment as described on the first page of this
document. The applicable registration fee will license one copy for use
on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just
like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to
another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one
location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be
read by two different persons at the same time.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of HERO'S HEART along to your friends
for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they
find that they use it. All registered users will receive a copy of
the latest version of the HERO'S HEART.
Site-Licenses and quantity discounts may be arranged by contacting
Everett Kaser Software.
--- DISTRIBUTION BY BBS'S AND DISK VENDORS:
Anyone distributing HERO'S HEART for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Everett Kaser at the address above for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to BBS's and
"traditional mail-order shareware distributors" recognized by the ASP
as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering Hero's Heart immediately. However,
Everett Kaser must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of HERO'S HEART). "Traditional
mail-order shareware distributors" are those offering disks of share-
ware programs for little more than the normal cost of running such a
business (usual
