Sorry the read-me's are short but I have ran out of room on the disk!

There's not much to say about this. It's a Tetris deviant whereby you have to make words out
of the semi random letters that fall from the top of the grid.

The full game comes on two disks with a larger dictionary (This demo version has about 13000
words - the full version has around 27000 words)

The full version also features a sub game (Basically a version of Arkanoid), extra sound,
extra graphics, a simultaneous two player option and a dictionary / game editor. You can
get this version by sending 2 disks with a Cadburys Mint Wispa(!) stuck to them and
an S.A.E.

This demo is not time crippled in any way. You can play it as long as you like as many times
as you like.

A single button joystick controls all menus and the game.
Fire pauses/unpauses the game.
ESC will produce a sub menu for restarting, quitting or adding a word to the dictionary.

I know that you will probably stop reading this when I tell you that this game
was written in AMOS but please, give it a go!  I have tried to hide the fact it was
done using AMOS and it honestly does not look like an AMOS game. I have also given
the game its own icon so you can launch it from workbench.

The game is not compiled because...

A: The game engine is already running too fast
B: The compiler stalls about half way through (!?)

You can throw it on the CD anywhere you like but you know how to do all that stuff. I just 
know how to program ( HAH, I wish! )

So it just remains for me say - try it, you just might li...What? Is that the time? !! 5.24am !!
(I go and open the curtains. Daylight streams in through the window.)
"I'm supposed be at work at 8am!"
"Shi... err... Damn." 
"What am I going to do?"
I suddenly hear a voice in my head...("Phone in sick sick sick" it echoes - theres not much up there!)
"I phoned in sick twice last week!!!!!" 

See what you lot have done, wanting 2 read me files! I have now lost my job.
I'll be destitute.
I'll have no home, no money.
My girlfriend will leave me!
But I will be content in the knowledge that my work has gained a wider audience.

Who am I kidding?
