your Floppy is Drive A. Type the following :
C: ( Change current drive to C )
MD C:\JIG ( Create JIG subdirectory )
CD C:\JIG ( Change directory )
( Insert floppy disk in drive A )
COPY A:\*.* C:\JIG ( Copy files to Hard disk )
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS
COMPUTER : IBM/PC, XT, AT or compatibles, 256K, Mouse is optional.
DISPLAY : CGA or TANDY, MCGA, EGA/VGA color, EGA MONO and HERCULES

S Enables systems that are not 100% IBM compatible
to run the program.
* example 1 : if you have an EGA card and you want to force the
program to CGA color just type: JIG C, at the DOS prompt.
* example 2 : if your CGA is monochrome use JIG G , to get
higher resolution.
* example 3 : If you have any problem with the mouse due to
compatibility issues just type : JIG K to disable it.

5. OPERATION
GENERAL : The program will detect your display card and will auto-
adjust the graphics. It will also sense if there is a mouse
attached. If you plan to use the mouse, the mouse driver must be
loaded before running JIG. From time to time the program will
display information at the bottom of the screen.
MENUS : When using the mouse, click on the LEFT button to select
items , click on the RIGHT button to exit from the menu or to call
the main menu. When using the keyboard , use the arrow keys to

Press any key or mouse button to start.
** Note that GRF Image files must be present at your current
disk and directory.
........
IMAGES : Then select one GRF Image file from the IMAGES menu.
Finally select START from main menu to begin playing the PC-JIGSAW
After you assemble the puzzle, you can select another Image.
.......
PCX : The Registered version of PC-JIGSAW will read PCX files in
any of the above mentioned graphics modes (see chapter 4 under
OPTIONS). The PCX option allows registered users to make up their
own Jigsaw puzzles in the popular PCX graphics format by :
A) creating pictures through PAINT or DESK-TOP programs
supporting PCX files or
B) creating pictures using a SCANNER or a VIDEO GRABBER supporting
PCX files or
C) by simply using existing PCX files.
........
LEVEL : Changes the level of complexity by making the PC-JIGSAW
pieces smaller or larger. Lowest mode is 3 X 3 = 9 pieces, highest
mode is 9 X 9 = 81 pieces.
........

MOUSE : Turns on or off the mouse. Use JIG K to disable mouse access.
........
PRINT : PC-JIGSAW currently supports EPSON compatible printer in
parallel ports LPT1 or LPT2. It prints only the black outline of the
image, therefore the printed results of your own PCX pictures may vary.
Printed puzzles make nice coloring pictures for children. Make sure
that your printer is ON and ON LINE when selecting the PRINT option.
Page 3 of 5
........
QUIT : Allows you to return to DOS.
SCORE : Your score appears on the top of the screen, when you have
solved the puzzle. The score is based on how many pieces you
swapped to get the puzzle solved. The fewer pieces you swapped ,
the better score you will get. Also every time you VIEW the image,
points are subtracted from your score, so VIEW only when needed.
When the puzzle is solved the number of Moves ( swaps ) and the
number of Views is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
VIEW : At any time you may view the original Image by pressing
the V key. If you have a 3 button mouse press the middle button,
or if you have a 2 button mouse press both buttons simultaneously
to VIEW.
MUSIC : When music is playing you may press any key or hold down a
mouse button to cancel it.
Tips for children and novice IBM PC users.
We created this program knowing that children as young as 3 years old
will be using it. The challenge was, how to create a simple to use
program without sacrificing flexibility and options for more advanced
PC users. Here are two very simple rules for novice PC users.
1) When using the mouse, use only the LEFT button to play and select
from the menus. If your mouse has 3 buttons, then use the middle
one to view. If you have a 2 button mouse use the V key to view.
2) When using the keyboard simply use the <spacebar> to play and
select from the menus. Use the arrows to move around and finally
use the V key to view the original puzzle.
After novice users have become familiar with the above simple
operation, they may try using the RIGHT mouse button or the <ESC> key
to gain access to all of the PC-JIGSAW options.
6. DOCUMENTATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
If you have a printer, then please print out and read documentation
file JIG.DOC. This file can be printed out by simply typing :
COPY JIG.DOC PRN at the DOS prompt.
The opening music theme is "The flight of the Bumble Bee" by Rimsky
Korsakov. The music playing after you solved the puzzle is
"When Johnny comes Marching Home" by Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore.
All of the new features and improvements in version 2 are the results
of several suggestions by users of the older PC-JIGSAW versions.

README.DOC
P C - J I G S A W 2
The enclosed disks contain a new revision of the PC-JigSaw program.
It was created after several users reported problems or proposed useful
suggestions.
REVISION HISTORY
PC-JigSaw 1.2 19-NOV-1989
A) It fixes a problem associated with using a mouse in some systems.
B) A new level for young children ( 3 X 3 pieces ).
C) A minor program change in the scoring scheme allows the user to get
higher scores more easily.
D) Most laptops have 2 graphic cards. One LCD and one external RGB.
The program detects only the external RGB and therefore it auto-
switches to external. So you have to toggle to LCD by using
the control key combination provided by the manufacturer. ( eg:
for DATAVUE's SPARK laptop use <CONTROL> <LEFT-SHIFT> <M> )
PC-JIGSAW 2.0 6-FEB-1990
A) Print support for EPSON compatible matrix printers.
B) Lowest grade now is C. It is fair to give a passing grade to
those who finish the puzzle. Program now displays number of moves
and number of Views when puzzle is finished.
C) After a picture is displayed on the screen, now you may cancel it,

P C - J I G S A W 2
The enclosed disks contain a new revision of the PC-JigSaw program.
It was created after several users reported problems or proposed useful
suggestions.
REVISION HISTORY
PC-JigSaw 1.2 19-NOV-1989
A) It fixes a problem associated with using a mouse in some systems.
B) A new level for young children ( 3 X 3 pieces ).
C) A minor program change in the scoring scheme allows the user to get
higher scores more easily.
D) Most laptops have 2 graphic cards. One LCD and one external RGB.
The program detects only the external RGB and therefore it auto-
switches to external. So you have to toggle to LCD by using
the control key combination provided by the manufacturer. ( eg:
for DATAVUE's SPARK laptop use <CONTROL> <LEFT-SHIFT> <M> )
PC-JIGSAW 2.0 6-FEB-1990
A) Print support for EPSON compatible matrix printers.
B) Lowest grade now is C. It is fair to give a passing grade to
those who finish the puzzle. Program now displays number of moves
and number of Views when puzzle is finished.
C) After a picture is displayed on the screen, now you may cancel it,
and select another one.
D) If a piece is moved to its correct location a beep sound confirms it.
E) Added one more Level of difficulty the MASTER Level ( 9 X 9 pieces )
F) Improved visibility of the color cross, marking a selected piece.
G) Added 2 music themes.
H) Added PCX file support, available for registered users only. This
allows the users to create their own pictures utilizing any PAINT
program or SCANNER software supporting the PCX file format.
Also several other minor changes were to implemented to make this
program easier to use.
