WILSTAR SOFTWARE
At the current time (Dec. 1993), there are four volumes of Wilstar
Software programs. They are labeled as Wilstar Software Volumes 1 - 3.
Another volume contains elementary education games and is called Edu-Drills.
In addition, there are several other Wilstar Software programs that are
not included on these 3 volumes.
If you need to contact the author (Jerry Wilson) of ANY of the
Wilstar Software programs, there are a number of ways to go about it:
The best (and fastest) way is to leave GEnie Email at my GEnie
mail address: J.WILSON120.

Most of the Wilstar Software line of programs are shareware. A
couple of them are freeware or have been placed in the public domain.
These programs are clearly marked as freeware or public domain. Almost
all the Wilstar Software programs can be registered for a $10 registration
fee. Anyone who registers a program will be sent the Wilstar Software
volume that includes that particular program. Most likely, the disk will
contain a newer version of the program you register.
Some of the Wilstar Software programs included in one of the three volumes
include:
THE WILSTAR ALMANAC -- An almanac, moon phase program with chimes.
WILSTAR DAILY REMINDER -- Displays reminders at boot w/ alarm.
WILSTAR TRIVIA BREAK -- A trivia game.
I-70 EXPRESS -- A truck driving simulation.
CONVERT IT -- Converts measurements from one unit to another.
DAYS TO -- Gives the number of days remaining to the next holiday.
WEEKDAY -- Gives day of week for any date, plus birthday stats.
COUNTDOWN 2000 -- The Millennium program! (Events in history)
LOOKING BACK -- Events in history on today's date program.
GREETINGS -- Greets you personally at boot up.
WILSTAR SPELLING BEE -- Great for helping with spelling homework
SLOTS -- The Wilstar Slot Machine simulator.
The MOON PHASE WALLPAPER (MOONBMP.EXE) program is not included on
any volume because it is used exclusively with WINDOWS 3.x. The same
applies to SPACEBMP.ZIP, which can be found in GEnie Windows RT library.
MOON PHASE WALLPAPER is a WINDOWS startup utility that changes the wallpaper
background of windows to display the earth disk along with the current
moon phase.
The MOONBMP.EXE program can be ordered (or registered) for $10.00.
The SPACEBMP.ZIP file is free. If you don't have access to GEnie, send me
$5.00 media, P&H fee and I'll be happy to send it to you. It is a
collection of space-related .BMP wallpaper files for WINDOWS.
One popular public domain program is the FREEDM23.ZIP file that
includes the text of several historic documents of the U.S. It is menu
driven and also plays 3 patriotic tunes. Again, it is available on GEnie,
but I will send you a copy of it for the $5.00 media fee.
Other Wilstar Software programs you can order include the game of
Fictionary, a game of obscure vocabulary in multiple choice format, and
Wilstar Dialing Directory (DIAL.EXE), a phone dialer and ASCII dialing
directory. There is also a startup program, AUTOSTART, which can be placed
in your autoexec.bat file and will run certain programs on certain dates.
For a $10 registration fee, you may also purchase an educational
package called Wilstar Edu-Drill. It contains fun quiz exercises in math
and spelling designed for the elementary grades.
To order any of the programs outlined above, use the order form
included as the file REGISTER.TXT, or just send a letter with the name of
the program you want along with the registration fee and $1.50 for S & H.
Thank you.
