PC Disks from SynTax (2)

Single disks cost œ2.50 or see the contributions section to know
how to get one free!  Please add œ1.00 to total cost outside
UK/Europe to cover postage.  Remember to state disk size required.
Any games which require more than 1 disk are noted.  From now on,
it will be assumed that users have at least 1x3.5" HDD drive, VGA
and a hard disk. If you don't, please enquire whether programs
will run on your setup.  Many games, especially the text
adventures, will also run on the ST or Amiga using a PC emulator.

Some programs are provided archived using PKZIP or similar. To
unpack them:
1. Make a directory on your hard disk and copy all the files from
the floppy disk(s) into it.
2. Change to the directory and type PKUNZIP *.ZIP. This will
unpack all the zipped files in one operation.

Remember too that some old programs may run too quickly on modern
machines - if you get this problem, return the disk for exchange.

Please note that any disks with WZ95 in brackets after their
description require WinZip 95 or a similar 32-bit package, which
unzips archived files while retaining the long file names, is
required. This can be found on Disk 988 or you can send me a blank
HD disk when you order and I'll provide a copy.

@~New in this section this issue:

David Home has made his adventure writing utility, The
Adventurer, freeware, and you'll find it on Disk 1108. He has also
sent me some manuals so while stock last I'll give a free manual
with every copy of the disk ordered. The program runs under
Windows and uses icon graphics.
