The following is our current list of our shareware programs.
These programs are shareware, which is a means of distributing software.
Under the shareware concept, software may be freely copied and passed along
to others, or distributed through bulletin board systems or national
networks.
As a recipient of a shareware program, you may use the software for a short
trial period to determine if it meets your needs. If the software is not
suitable, then you can discard it. If you decide to use it, you should
register it. As of May 1, 1990, all Cascoly games will cost $20 each to
register. If you include the version number when you register, we will send
you any more recent version. Registration also entitles you to online
support via CompuServe. Send email to Cascoly Software, CompuServe number
76703,3046. (We will also answer mail from registered users.)
As an additional benefit, registration entitles you to a free introductory
account on CompuServe. (Details will be sent when you register.)
All programs run on the IBM PC family of machines. CGA or higher graphics
board is required, except where noted. A disk with all the programs on it
is available for $10 shipping and handling. (This fee can be applied in full
towards any subsequent registrations. )
ATC -- An air traffic controller game that's perfect for a few minutes or
hours of fun. Easy to learn, but difficult to master. The game tracks best
scores at each of 20 levels of difficulty. V 1.0 (Supports monochrome)
BORDER -- a combination of GO and connect the dots, this abstract strategy
game for 2 players involves enclosing more area than your opponent, while
preventing them from stopping you. V 1.1
ECOMASTER -- A diverting ecology game for one or more players in which you
buy and sell animals based on their abilities to thrive in different
environments. Mildly educational without belaboring the point. V 1.1
FICTIONARY <tm> -- The game of fantastic and farfetched definitions. Each
round one player chooses a word that none of the players knows. You can
choose your own word or pick one from the large selection included with the
game. Then each other player makes up their own definition for the word.
Everyone votes for the word they think is the correct definition and points
are scored for guessing the proper one, or misleading other players.
Special rules allow play by 2 or even 1 player. V 1.31
The registered version of this program also includes a utility program that
lets you customize the word list that comes with the game. You can even
create specialized lists for use as a vocabulary tester.
Utilities:
CAPBUF is a memory resident (TSR) program that lets you capture any text
screen and save it for later processing or printing. It is quite useful for
programs that do not otherwise provide means of printing their results. Use
it for intermediate results of games, or collecting copies of messages while
on a bulletin board.
mono or graphics) V 1.4. $30 registration fee.
UDECIDE helps you make decisions such as which software or hardware to
purchase; ratings surveys; which project to pursue; ranking; or selecting
colleges, movies, stocks, or wines. You enter a list of elements by which
you will evaluate the contenders, optionally giving each a weight. Then you
enter the possible options, and assign a value to each element. You can
then sort to obtain an ordered list of the best options. Or you can perform
what-if analyses by changing elements or weights.
(mono or graphics) V 1.02 $35 registration fee.
