     This   version  of  Snakes  and  Ladders  is  based  on   the
     Traditional board game, but we have added some simple sums to
     get kids brains working.  Besides being just another game  it
     should help young children learn to count up to 100 in  steps
     of 1 to 6.  It's easy - just count on from the square you are
     on,  the number thrown on the dice.  At the end of  the  game
     there  is  a score of how well you have done.  You  can  play
     against the computer or a friend and if you just want to play
     for fun you also have the option of switching the sums off.

     This program was written in Quickbasic on a 286, 20MHz PC with 
     VGA monitor using DOS version 3.3.   The program should run on 
     any machine with EGA graphics and  higher from a floppy  drive  
     or hard disk.

                          TO USE THE PROGRAM

     b) Place disk into the appropriate drive
     c) Change drives by typing in A: or B:

     To throw the dice press any key except those listed below  to
     start the dice. You will then be asked to do a sum.  When you
     have the correct answer the counter will move.  It will  then
     be  the  computers go.  If your counter ends on a  square  in
     which a ladder starts you will go up,  if you end on a square
     with a snakes head in you will go down.  The first person  to
     reach the 100 square is the winner.  You will then be given a
     score of how well you did with the sums.
     To switch off the sums press the F8 key, note that you cannot
     turn off the sums in the middle of a sum,  wait until the sum
     box  has  been removed from the screen.  To change to  a  two
