                             SCRAMBLE for DOS


                                A Game by
                              Paul H. Smith


Description
-----------

The game of Scramble contains a set of ten puzzles to be solved, and you
can make more puzzles of your own. Each of the puzzles consists of a set of
numbered or lettered tiles arranged into a pattern or phrase, and the
pattern may contain blank tiles that are frozen in place. The pattern
can be scrambled into a state of disarray by the computer, and your
challenge is to move the tiles back into the proper pattern or phrase. You
can move the tiles only one at a time, and only into an empty spot in the
pattern. Start with a small simple puzzle, and progress to the very 
challenging large puzzles. Try it!  Type SCRAMBLE at the DOS prompt, hit
any key to start the game, type "C" to choose a puzzle, "S" to scramble it,
and then use the arrow keys to move tiles until you have it unscrambled.

Helpful instructions appear on each screen, with major functions listed at
the top center of the screen. Select a function by typing the first letter
of the function. The major functions are:

    (C)hoose   - allows you to select one of the ten puzzles
    (S)cramble - moves the tiles into disarray
    (M)odify   - lets you type in text to create your own puzzles
    (F)ile     - allows you to save a set of puzzles (including a partially
                 solved one) to disk, and to load them from disk to resume
                 play at a later time.
    (Q)uit     - ends the game and exits to DOS.

Try modifying a puzzle with new text and a new size,  try saving it to disk,
and try restoring it. You will find it to be easy and fun! Now, Scramble it!

Scramble is not public domain software, and it is not free. It is a
copyrighted program that is distributed as shareware. It may be freely copied
and distributed for evaluation, and you may take up to 30 days for that
evaluation. After that time, it must be registered if you wish to keep it and
use it. The small registration fee keeps you legal, and it provides incentive
for our programmers to keep providing quality affordable software.

If you purchased the program directly from Sidewalk Software, your purchase
price included the registration fee. However, if you obtained your copy from
a bulletin board service (BBS), from an internet site, from a friend, or if
you purchased it from a shareware service, you are still required to register
the program and pay a registration fee to Sidewalk Software. The registration
fee for Scramble is $5.00 per address or location, and this fee is all that
is required for you to keep and use the program legally.
