Thank you for your interest in the KALAH program. KALAH is put into
the public domain and is not to be sold for any purpose except by the
author. No warranty is included or implied. Bugs reports and
comments are appreciated - please contact the author.
The only system dependent requirements for KALAH is that it be run on
hardware that can emulate the VT100 ANSI escape sequences. The DEC
Rainbow-100 Personal Computer is ideal since the firmware emulates a
VT102 terminal. The original code ran on a DECSYSTEM-20 and later on
my Rainbow with TURBO PASCAL. KALAH is written entirely in PASCAL and
stays within the language requirements found in Jensen & Wirth.
***** NEW as of 5/24/85 *****
Kalah now works on the IBM PC and compatables. Kalah requires that
ANSI.SYS be loaded. In the CONFIG.SYS file add the line:
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS.
This device driver allows the IBM PC to utilize the ANSI escape
sequences found on a VT100 terminal except that it doesn't have the
special line drawing character set, nor does it support double height,
or double with chars, or 132 char width displays. Kalah works fine
without most of these attributes, but without the 132 char screen, the
instructions are not displayed along side the playing board.
The source to KALAH is available for $15 at the address below. You
get a Rainbow-100 diskette with the source, documentation, and the
executable as well as a printed copy of the source. Please specify if
the disk should be formatted in CPM or MSDOS. If you send a
SELF-ADDRESSED PRE-PAID mailer with a PRE-FORMATTED RX50 Rainbow disk,
you can get the above diskette (without the printed copy) for $10.
