Skid is a novel, compiled into an easy to read form for reading on a
computer using a hypertext converter. If you're bored with everything
else you can do with your computer, have a look at Skid.
Skid is a shareware program, if you want to read the entire novel
you will need to register it. [see order form]
Skid is a self executing file so simply copy Skid and the
associated files into a directory and type Skid at your dos
prompt, utilize a file manager, eg Xtreegold or import Skid
using the program manager in Windows so all you need to do is whack
an icon and Skid unfolds before you.
To move around Skid use the page up\down keys, search commands,
press F1 for help.
You do not have to read Skid lineraly like a book you can highlight
a name or subject and jump through the text. ie highlighting the name
of one of the characters will allow you to hop through the text
and follow the adventures and misadventures of that character.
The registered version of Skid offers a print option and allows the
user to utilise an associated file to create their own hyperead
colour schemes.
Also included with the registered program are excerpts from upcoming
publications from sams publishing co and some of the adventures of
Commerdoor Persen.
