Thanx for downloading this archive.

Ok so you want to play Magic:The Gathering on your Amiga eh? Great thats 
what this prg helps you do while online, either over IRC or MODEM.
This prg MUST be run from CLI

to use it simply put it on a floppy or your HD and do an assign.

assign decker: dh0:magic for example
then just type MTG and it'll start

keep ALL related files there. 
The prg WHATIS is will let you query what is cardname.
Due to Copyright Laws I have NOT included a library for this prg.
BTW this function IS built into the MTG prg as well.
The library file included in the archive is an example only.

The Card name MUST be capitalized. then you can give all the info you wish.
to sperate the card names make a seperate line after each card listing which is
nothing but *** this is the delimiter that will keep each card and it's
description seperate. 

You can find lists of Cards and what they do at itis.com for example available
for anonymous FTP these files will help immeasureably in your constructing a
library file. 

I have included a sample DECK file. the deck files first line MUST be the # of
cards in the deck used.
each line after that must include the name of 1 card with no spaces in it nor
any ' characters.

Hence Glasses of Urza becomes Glasses-of-Urza, and Hurkyl's Recall becomes
Hurkyls-Recall. This is NOT neccessary for the library file tho ONLY the 
DECK file must be done this way.

The included files d1 and d2 are simply 16 color grayscale images at 640*400
rez, they are of no importance to the prg and the prg WILL run without them.
The prg makes an outside call to the prg Display to show the images.

So far the prg has the following features built in:

'Open-Get 8 Cards for opening Hand'
'Help or ?- This list'
'Draw-Draw one Card from library'
'Discard-Send 1 Card to the Graveyard'
'Play-Play One Card'
'Graveyard-View Cards you have in Graveyard'
'#-check # of Cards left in library'
'Hand-View Cards in your Hand'
'Out-View Cards you have in Play'
'g2g-Send Card to Graveyard from Play'
'rfg-Remove Card from Play'
'What-Get more info on a specific Card'
'End-End Prg'

More commands will be added soon including one to keep track of what your
opponent has in play and in his/her graveyard.
Suggestions for additional commands are welcome.

I hope you find this prg useful. If you find any problems with the prg or have
suggestions to improve it please email me at midgard@nycmetro.com
Remember this is only a preliminary version. If I get a good response to this
prg I may even add direct calls to the serial port to allow EASIER play over
modem. Currently you need to use left-amiga m to swap screens back and forth
from your telecomm prg.
