USER-SUPPORTED SOFTWARE
User-supported software, which is also known as Shareware,
as an experiment in microcomputer software distribution based on
the following principles:
1. That the value or worth of a program is best judged by the
individual user using the program on his/her own machine.
2. That the creation and distribution of microcomputer software
can be financially supported by users at reasonable cost.
3. That the copying and sharing of software can and is
encouraged.
Anyone may request a copy of a user-supported program by
sending a blank, formatted disk to the author of the program. An
addressed, postage-paid return mailer must accompany the disk (no
exceptions, please). A copy of the program, with documentation on
the disk, will be sent by return mail. The program will carry a
notice suggesting a contribution to the program's author. Making
a contribution is completely voluntary.
Free distribution of software and voluntary payment for its
use eliminates costs for advertising and copy protection schemes.
Users obtain quality software at reduced cost. They can try it
out before buying, and do so at their own pace and in the comfort
of their own home or office. The best programs will survive based
purely on their quality and usefulness.
Please join the experiment. If you share a belief in these
principles, your contribution is requested to help make this
work. Regardless of whether you make a contribution, you are
encouraged to copy and share this program.

documentation and share it with their members, so long as:

the diskette, so long as it is not more than $6.00 total.
2. Club members be informed of the user-supported idea and
encouraged to support it with their donations.
3. The program(s) or documentation are not modified in any way
and they are distributed together.

the game is to guess whether the next card that is displayed is
going to be higher or lower than the last one displayed.
(2) The playing deck contains a regular 52 card deck plus
the Joker. If you draw the Joker game is Ended and your score is
reduced to zero. The Joker may or may not come up in any
particular game. Totally random!
(3) At the End of each play, 52 cards or turns, you advance
to the Top Ten display. If you score is higher than the lowest
score your score is placed in it's correct position and the 10th
position is removed. You are returned to the Options Menu at the
