Information about “CARD TRAK, EGA SCREEN SAVE, AND MORE”

A screen-blanking routine that shuts your EGA screen off after three
minutes of keyboard inactivity.  This helps prolong the life of your
screen by preventing ``image burn-in''.  Striking any key restores your
video display.

MONTAGE2 is in this library for one reason: it's fun.  It presents a
colorful line display rivaled only by '60s music videos -- a good way to
show off your EGA system.  You configure parameters that determine the
color and pattern of the lines.  It's self-documented with a help
display during execution.

LOTTOPIKS is a random number generator for playing six-number format
state lottos.  It sorts the numbers into ascending order and displays a
screen of games.  The Illinois and Missouri lottos are menued for the
basic games, but other states' games can be easily configured with the
program by setting that game's maximum high number (6 to 255).

    MONTAGE2 is for fun, it draws a series of lines on the screen and then
moves them around for you. It can be completely configured to draw its
lines your way. It's self-documented with a help display. It's in Hi-Res
and displays in 16 colors. It's a bit noisy on start-up. The opening screen
has complete information on user options. These can be changed during
program execution (no configuration files).

    LOTOPIKS is a random number generator for playing state lottos. It
sorts the numbers in ascending order and displays a screen of games. The
Illinois and Missouri lottos are menued for the basic games, but a

of 6...255) can be entered. The games are restricted to a six-number
format.
