Learn how to use Lotus 1-2-3 with an adventure game!  TEMPLATES OF DOOM
makes learning spreadsheets fun and entertaining.
DOOM makes learning spreadsheets fun and entertaining.  It's a
self-paced guide that helps teach the beginning user how to select and
use spreadsheet commands such as: erase cells, change column widths,
create graphs and even more.

Whether your're an experienced computer spreadsheet user or an eager
beginner, TEMPLATES OF DOOM is a whole new learning adventure.  A
clever alternative to a stuffy spreadsheet manual, this easy-to-use
program presents you with 25 related but increasingly complex and
challenging puzzles.

You solve the puzzle against a ticking clock and piece together a story
full of colorful characters, wild events and exotic places, using a
variety of spreadsheet commands and formulas.  If you get stuck, there
are four levels of programmed help to rescue you.

                         Templates of Doom tm

Welcome to Templates of Doom, the program that teaches spreadsheets. 
There are two separate demo versions of the program on this disk.  One
is for Lotus and the Lotus functional work-a-likes such as VP-Planner
and Quattro, and one is for PC Excel.  We also have a version for
Macintosh Excel on a different disk.

TO START:
Place this disk in your A: Drive or copy it to any appropriate directory
on you hard disk.
  
FOR LOTUS AND FUNCTIONAL WORK-A-LIKES:
Start your spreadsheet program and make sure the spreadsheet program
default drive and directory are set to the location of Templates of
Doom.  The commands in Lotus to do this are / Worksheet, Global,
Default, Directory, :Type in the name of the drive and directory that
Templates of Doom is on and press return.  For example, if Templates of
Doom is in the A: drive, type A: and press Return.  Retrieve the file
DOOMDEMO.WKS (/ F R DOOMDEMO Return).  The program will take over from
there.

FOR PC EXCEL:
Unless you have extended memory, we suggest that you temporarily remove
any memory resident programs because PC Excel uses a lot of memory.
Start PC Excel and close the blank spreadsheet that appears.  Pull down
the File menu, select Open and navigate to the  disk drive and directory
that Templates of Doom is on. When DOOMDEMO.XLM appears in the scrolling
window, select it and the program will take over from there.

TO ORDER TEMPLATES OF DOOM:
The full program cost $69.95 plus $4.00 shipping.  We accept Visa and
MasterCard orders over the phone and almost anything in the mail
including company purchase orders.  Our address and phone are:
