SOFTWARE'S BABYDRAW 1.01 | +--------------------------------------+ This is a great drawing program originally designed for use by small children beginning at about 2 years of age, it is a program which will bring hours of fun to any child 2 to 102. It works with any CGA adapter or better and uses the number pad keys to draw up, down, and diagonally. It makes drawing easy! When a small child presses any non-drawing key, the program generates random drawing. The child is greatly excited by his "creation". The program can also record and play back drawings just as they were originall drawn with complete control over speed etc. It comes with a program which can play back a whole script of playback drawings so that you can make "slideshow" type presentations. You may freely distribute the special playback program to friends so that you can create video greeting cards which draw themselves! The program is customized with the child's name throughout, and displays a 49 character message from the giver to the child every time the program starts. If the child's name were "Susan", the program would be called "Susan's Drawing Game", the program file would be called SUSAN.EXE and would be started by typing "SUSAN". It would then display a 49 character message your specify in its own box on the opening screen, such as "Susie is the Apple of Mommy and Daddy's Eye". When the program terminates, it restores the DOS screen and poses the question, "Have you hugged Susan today?" The Public Software Library gave it 4 stars (out of 4) and called it "Literally hours of fun!" +----------------------------------------+ | The SPELLBOUND! DIRECTOR, Version 2.50 | +----------------------------------------+ The SPELLBOUND! DIRECTOR is a complete Menuing and File Management system which was designed to be ideal for installation on new machines and over the counter sales by resellers or consultants under their own company name. For example Mainstream Computers in Alma, Michigan sells the program as "The MAINSTREAM MENU SYSTEM". See below for a special ONE-TIME license fee which will enable you to install a copy of this program on every computer you sell or service! SEE THOSE AFTER THE SALE SUPPORT CALLS DISAPPEAR! As a reseller or consultant, you are called upon many times to provide support to novice users of your PC systems. The SPELLBOUND! DIRECTOR provides a very simple to use interface between the user and the operating system. The File Manager allows him to easily create, rename, and remove directories; copy, move, delete and change the date/time stamp of multiple files; handles creation, extraction and viewing of ZIP format files created by PKWare's PKZIP programs; while executing DOS commands or shelling to DOS from within the program. TEACHES USER HOW TO RUN PROGRAMS AS IT RUNS! Each time a program is run from the menu, as the program is loading, a box is displayed at the top of the screen which tells the user 1. The item name as chosen from the menu, 2. the assembled command line which has been handed to DOS to run the program, and 3. The resident directory. This will help your customers to become acquainted with DOS while insulating them from its cryptic commands. The SPELLBOUND! DIRECTOR will appear in every way to be your own product. YOUR NAME APPEARS IN THE INTRODUCTION SCREEN, and it appears continuously at the top of the screen while the Menu is running. EVERY TIME YOUR CUSTOMER TURNS ON HIS MACHINE, YOUR COMPANY IS ADVERTISED!
