-
- -----------------
- Clip and Save You can print the text on your computer
- ----------------- screen by pressing Shift + PrtSc, but there
- are limitations. (1) The entire screen is printed. (2) The
- screen contents can only be printed, not saved to a disk file for
- later use. (3) Every character is sent to the printer, even
- those with ASCII codes less than 32 (control codes) which are
- interpreted as commands by the printer and mess up the printout.
- Also, some printers cannot print the foreign language and
- graphics characters (ASCII 128-255).
-
- Clip and Save is a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) program that
- solves these problems. You can clip all or part of a text
- screen, send the clipping to the printer or save it (or append
- it) to a disk file, and filter out unwanted characters. For
- example, you can use Double Directory to View a file and Clip and
- Save to grab the parts you want and save them to a file.
-
- Clip and Save works with LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3 and the standard text
- screen modes (40x25, 80x25, 80x28, 80x43, 80x50). It requires
- DOS 2.0 or later and uses 31K of memory when installed. It can
- be removed from memory without rebooting your computer and it is
- configurable.
-
- WHEN YOU REGISTER DOUBLE DIRECTORY, YOU MAY ALSO RECEIVE ONE OF
- THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS:
-
- ---------------
- Maze Survey Maze Survey is a graphics game in which you
- --------------- use the keyboard to maneuver a variable-speed
- survey vehicle through mazes, laying down and later picking up
- markers. You work against the clock and are paid for each
- marker. There are 10 mazes and 4 levels of difficulty. You can
- choose among 4 color palettes and 2 graphics resolutions
- (depending upon your display adapter). You may also choose which

-
- keys maneuver the vehicle. High scores and the various settings
- (level, colors, etc.) can be saved to disk so that you don't have
- to reset them each time you play. There is on-line help. Maze
- Survey requires DOS 2.0 or later and 128K RAM and it will run
- with all standard video adaptors.

- -----------------------------
- Have You Read That Movie? Although movies are often based on
- ----------------------------- original screenplays, many are
- adapted from literary works: novels, plays, short stories and
- even poems. Have You Read That Movie? is a multiple-choice test
- (368 questions) of your knowledge of movies and literature.
- There are three levels of difficulty and three modes of play:
- single player, two players alternate, and two players compete.
- Each correct answer is accompanied by some interesting fact(s)
- about the movie or the literary work. It requires 256K RAM, DOS
- 2.0 or later and a CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules, MDA, MCGA display
- adapter (color or monochrome). There is on-line help and the
- program is configurable. It works with or without a mouse. New
- DOS and Windows versions of Have You Read That Movie? will be
- released sometime in 1993. These versions will include more than
- twice as many questions and will allow complete access to a
- database of over 1000 films, directors, authors and so on. All
- registered owners of the current version of Have You Read That
- Movie? will be notified of the new version and will be eligible
- for an inexpensive upgrade to the new version.

- COMING SOON DOS and Windows versions of NFL Forecaster. To
- ------------- predict the winners of football games, you must
- rank the opposing teams. Many elements may be taken into
- account, but only two things really matter: (1) a team's win/loss
- record which depends upon (2) the number of points scored by and
- against that team. Using scores, NFL Forecaster assigns each NFL
- team rankings, and uses them to predict winners and point
- spreads. NFL Forecaster also maintains various statistics and
- prints several types of reports. It only takes 10 minutes a week
- to enter the scores and obtain forecasts! Over the last 7
- seasons, NFL Forecaster declared only 6% of games too close to
- call. Of the remaining 94%, it correctly predicted a winner 61%
- of the time and the spread 55% of the time. When it predicted a
- spread of 6 to 9 points, it was correct 66% of the time and
- predicted the winner correctly 81% of the time. Although the
- strike season skewed the statistics downward, NFL Forecaster's
- accuracy is still better than most "bookies," who do not make
- predictions for all games. Using NFL Forecaster and your
- knowledge (for example, Forecaster doesn't know when a
- quarterback is injured), you have a much better chance of
- "beating the odds."
