THE RABID RHINO !
Too dumb to know it can't be done.
And too darned big to care.
Uncle Rhino's Shorts
A Collection of Short Works
for IBM compatibles.
Version 1.02
Greetings, and welcome!
The stories you are about to read are made up. The
characters in them are made up, too. Mostly, they're
funny. A couple are just plain weird. One, Retribution,
is quite angry. They will all entertain you.
Functional Info:
If you got this far, you already know the basics of
running this program. Use the up and down arrow keys to
select a story. Push the Enter button to read it. When
you are done, push the Esc button to return to the main
menu. Once you get into a story, there is an F1 help
function, just in case you want to do a few things extra
like add sound, print the file, change screen colors, etc.
Easy, isn't it.
I did include a README.1ST file for you PC enthusiasts
out there who just can't believe it's really this easy.
Or maybe, like me, you get too excited to read the label
on the disk.
Registration Info:
This is the part where I'm supposed to inform you
that, although you may have already spent money on this
disk, it's not really yours. That this is a licensed
product sent to you for evaluation purposes only. And
that for it to REALLY REALLY become yours, you will have
to send even more money to me. LOTS more money.
And if you don't, you will be haunted by a big angry
guy coming out of your computer screen and showing you his
knuckles REAL CLOSE, when he's not dragging them on the
ground.
Relax. I mean look, I don't even know any big guys
who can come out of your computer screen. By the way,
have you by any small chance seen the movie "Shocker"?
Just curious.
Okay, okay. The no-equine-poo truth. You have two
options regarding registration.
Option 1:
To register, send $5.50 in US funds to;
Rabid Rhino Publishing
P.O. Box 5013
Huntington, IN 46750
This will get you nonexistent phone support, an
imaginary three-color manual, and dreams free of the Guilt
Beast.
Option 2:
Order an electronic book listed in the chapter "Let's
Go Shopping!" This will get you all of the above
advantages PLUS another book (already registered) for the
price of registration plus postage and handling.
P.S. Cash works.
MISCELLANEOUS INFO
If you like what you read, feel free to make copies of
this disk for your friends. If you don't, feel free to
make copies for your enemies. Either way, copy the entire
disk and remember, don't change anything.
All this stuff is protected by copyright, so copying
anything here for profit is illegal.
Oh yeah, to the best of my ability this disk is virus
free. I felt the need to tell you, even though I've never
personally seen a computer virus. The point I want to
make is this. I can't be held responsible for any damage
to your computer or its software, or anything else for
that matter resulting from your use of this disk. This
disk worked when I mailed it and, well, between the now of
my writing and the now of your reading, neither of us
really knows where this floppy's been, now do we. If,
however, if you got this disk directly from Rabid Rhino
Publishing and it is not readable, return it and it will
be replaced free.
ONE LAST THING, Compatibility.
If you've read this far, you can safely assume that
this disk is compatible with your computer.
Thank you for tolerating my occasional outburst of
seriousness. Hopefully it's not indicative of a recurring
affliction.
Now, please, read and enjoy.
