The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM, winner of the Optical Publishing
Association's Best Consumer Product Award, has added a hypermedia
interface that makes it easy to find and download any type of program
you could want. The WordCruncher text retrieval program has also been
implemented to assist you insearching this vast collection.

This CD-ROM contains over 3700 fully functional shareware programs, each
with a detailed review. The 12th Edition has added over 300 new programs
and over 500 updates since the release of the 11th Edition. The
collection is always kept current and now contains over 70 megabytes of
Windows 3.0 and 3.1 applications, fonts, icons, games and wallpaper
files.

The range of software is phenomenal! There are huge assortments of
games, everything from adventure games with full SVGA and SoundBlaster
support to favorites like Klondike, Chess and Othello. Spreadsheets,
databases, wordprocessors and graphics programs are instantly available
and there are literally hundreds of unique and specialized programs that
will save you time and money. This amazing collection will help you get
a handle on all your business and home accounting and also teach your
children about zoology.

Each of the more than 3700 programs has a one-line description for quick
reference, Just pick one of the 13 software categories and a subcategory
to begin browsing for a program that interests you. You might choose the
Games Category, where you can pick from 12 subcatgories including
Adventure, Arcade, Cards and more. A mouse click (or keyboard stroke) on
the program title takes you to a detailed description of the program.
you can immediately download the software to your hard or floppy drive,
and in many cases view a screen shot.

You can find any program in the collection quickly and easily by using
the search button. When you are in a program category just type in the
title of the program and you will be taken to the description of that
program. The popular WordCruncher text retrieval program has been added
to allow searching every description for any word within that
description, not just in the title or keywords chosen by someone who
thinks differently than you do. The WordCruncher is ideal for finding
programs which perform a specific function, just try searching for
"split", "math" or "subtract". Or switch to the Disks section where you
will find an alphabetical list of all the programs which can be searched
by program title or disk number.

Everyone has their favorite programs and we're no exception. Our 44
favorite programs can be run immediately. No downloading is necessary,
all you do is click on the word "RUN" in the program description and
you'll be working or playing with top notch software right on the CD.

The power of hypermedia will allow you to try out more software than you
ever thought possible. We are sure that you will find a multitude of
programs to your liking on the P-SIG Library on CD-ROM.

System Requirements: IBM PC/AT PS/2 or compatible with 640K, DOS 3.3 or
higher, Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions and a CD-ROM player. We
recommend a 386 with a VGA monitor.

Finally, 368 of the most useful, popular, important shareware programs
have been put together on one CD. No matter what your need, it's on The
Essential Home & Business Collection.  Everything from Administration to
Windows software is here.

The Essential CD incorporates the WordCruncher text retrieval system.
Every program on the disc is indexed by title, filename, PC-SIG disk
number, and every word in the program description.  A new utility, Narc,
is implemented so you can look at the program files and the author's
on-line documentation without having to first copy the program to your
hard disk.  By using WordCruncher and Narc, you can quickly find the
program you want and review it to be sure, without ever having to run it
from your hard disk.

If you've got a CD-ROM player at home and want to get more use of it and
your computer, or if you're trying to avoid purchasing another Nintendo
cartridge, or if you just enjoy looking at new software, you need The
Essential Home & Business Collection.

System Requirements:

IBM PC/XT/AT PS/2 or compatible with 384K memory DOS 3.1 or higher and
Microsoft MS-DOS CD ROM extensions.

 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
 ---------------------
 This game requires PC compatible machine with a VGA-card ( MCGA should work
 just fine ). You must have at least 560000 bytes of free conventional
 memory. Fintris was created using a 486/33, but it has been tested on
 a 12Mhz 286 and it worked just fine. Mouse is supported.


 BACKGROUND
 ----------
 When I started designing Fintris I had two primary goals in mind. First
 I wanted to create a tetris with great graphics and second I wanted to add
 more variety to the ordinary tetris concept.

 This is my first game and I would like here what you have got to say about it.
 ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME WHETHER THEY ARE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.

 So what's so special about Fintris? Well, first of all there are THREE
 DIFFERENT GAME MODES: single, simultaneous and duel. There are THREE DIFFERENT
 BLOCK SETS: simple, normal and complex. Then there's GOOD LOOKING GRAPHICS and
 last but not the least MANA!


 BUGS
 ----
 Fintris has been thoroughly tested. At the moment there are no known bugs in it.
 This, however, doesn't guarantee that there would be no bugs and there probably
 are a few. If you find one (or more) you can send me a letter and I will try to
 remove it ASAP.


 LICENSE
 -------
 The FINTRIS software may not be circulated in any incomplete or modified form,
 nor sold for profit, without written permission of the author. If you
 distribute this software to others, you are required to distribute the ENTIRE
 package consisting of the files mentioned the distribution list ( see section
 FILES INCLUDED ).


 DISCLAIMER
 ----------
 The Shareware version for evaluation is provided AS IS.
 Tommi Tarkiainen MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR
 IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF
 MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 THE AUTHOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
 CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR DAMAGES DUE TO LOSS OF
 DATA OR ANY OTHER REASON, EVEN IF THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN ADVISED
 OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
 AUTHOR'S LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES EVER EXCEED THE PRICE PAID
 FOR THE LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM
 OF THE CLAIM.


 REGISTRATION
 ------------
 FINTRIS IS A SHAREWARE GAME. This means that IT ISN'T PUBLIC DOMAIN NOR IS IT
 FREE. The shareware version of the game is intended for evalution purposes
 only. If you like the game you should register it. Fintris is not crippleware.
 The shareware version doesn't lack any features. There is, however, a
 configuration utility included in the registered version of the game. Another
 difference between the shareware version and registered one are the usual
 shareware messages that urge you to register this great software and in that
 way support the further development of quality software.

 The registration fee is $11 ( this includes $4 for shipping, handling and media
 costs ) outside Finland or 50 mk ( this includes 15 mk for shipping etc. ) in
 Finland. By registering you are supporting further software development under
 shareware concept. When you register you will get the registered version
 of Fintris. You can get updates to Fintris for a nominal fee after you have
 registered. The registered version of Fintris includes custom configurations
 and doesn't have the shareware messages. Custom configurations include keyboard
 definition ( You can choose what keys to use in the game. ) and menu setup (
 You can set the default menu settings. For example if you wan't to play with
 mana on and on level 4 you can set these values as defaults from the
 configuration utility. When you start the game next time all you have to do is
 to press P ( Play ) and that's it. ). In the future you can register Software
 Illusions software for a lower price as a registered user. At the moment there
 aren't any other Software Illusions software available except VELORIS, which
 is a tetris clone for Amiga. There is at least one game project
 under development. Though we haven't decided yet what it is going to be.


 HOW TO REGISTER
 ---------------
 All you have to do is to send me a letter with the registration fee, your
 name, address and the type of diskette ( eg. 3½" HD )on which you want your
 registered version of Fintris. My address can be found at end of this document.


 WHAT IS MANA ?
 --------------
 Mana is a sort of energy that you can use to activate cannons and manipulate
 the block queue. You will get more mana when you collapse two or more rows
 simultaneously. Mana increases by itself over time but very slowly so you
 gain mana mainly by collapsing rows. In the beginning you won't have very
 large amount of mana so you should use it sparingly.

 The following operations can be accomplished with mana. REMOVING A ROW can be
 done by firing the cannon. This is the most mana consuming operation use it
 wisely. DUPLICATING A BLOCK is the second most expensive mana operation. When
 you press block duplication button the next block will be the same as the one
 before it. Note that the block that was in the block queue next before
 duplication will come after the duplicate. And last but not the least is
 BLOCK REMOVAL. This operation is the least expensive of all. When you press
 block removal button the next block in the block queue will be removed.

 When mana is in use you don't get as points from collapsing rows and dropping
 blocks as when mana is off. This is due to the fact that it is a lot easier
 to play when mana is on. So you get points a bit more slowly than without mana,
 but you can continue playing longer than usually. It's possible to get a lot
 of points very quickly by manipulating the block queue. Block duplication can
 prove especially useful in this.

 To get the most out of mana you will have to adopt a new playing style.
 Here are a couple of tips for you to get started with. Use cannons only
 when it's absolutely necessary. Use block duplication to get blocks with which
 you can collapse as many rows as possible. Use block removal to remove the
 blocks that don't fit your pile.

 Here are some statistics to help you with your mana usage.

 Number of rows collapsed simultaneously        Mana gained
 ---------------------------------------        -----------
 4 rows                                                  11
 3 rows                                                   4

 SOURCE CODE AVAILABILITY
 ------------------------
 YES, you can get source code for Fintris. Fintris was programmed using
 assembly language and C. The low level graphics routines are completely
 assembly language, the game itself is done using C-language.
 But because of the hard work involved in graphics routines and others, I
 am forced to ask a fairly large amount of money for them. If you are
 interested you can contact me at the address below.

 LAITTEISTOVAATIMUKSET
 ---------------------
 Tämä peli vaatii PC-yhteensopivan koneen, jossa on VGA-grafiikkakortti
 ( MCGA:kin pitäisi toimia ). Vapaata perusmuistia on oltava ainakin
 560000 tavua. Fintris on tehty 486/33 koneella, mutta sitä on testattu
 myös 12Mhz 286-koneessa. Ohjelma tukee hiirtä.


 TAUSTAA
 -------
 Sunnitellessani Fintristä minulla oli kaksi ensisijaista tavoitetta. Ensiksikin
 halusin tehdä Tetris-kloonin, jossa olisi myös grafiikkaa ja toiseksi halusin
 vaihtelua tavalliseen tetrikseen.

 Tämä on ensimmäinen pelini ja haluaisin kuulla Sinun mielipiteesi siitä.
 Kaikki kommentit ovat tervetulleita, olivatpa ne sitten kielteisiä tai
 myönteisiä.

 Mitä erikoista Fintriksessä sitten on? Ensinnäkin siinä on KOLME ERILAISTA
 PELIMOODIA: yksinpeli, kaksinpeli ja kaksintaistelu. Fintriksessä on KOLME
 ERILAISTA PALIKKA SETTIÄ: yksinkertaiset-, tavalliset- ja monimutkaiset
 palikat. Siinä on myös PAREMMAT GRAFIIKAT kuin useimmissa muissa tetris-
 klooneissa ja vielä kaiken tämän lisäksi on MANA.


 BUGIT
 -----
 Fintris on perusteellisesti testattu. Tällä hetkellä ei ole tiedossa yhtään
 bugia. Tämä ei kuitenkaan takaa sitä etteikö bugeja olisi ja niitä
 todennäköisesti on vielä muutamia. Jos löydät Fintriksestä bugin, olisin
 kiitollinen, jos ilmoittaisit asiasta. Yritän poistaa bugit niin nopeasti kuin
 mahdollista.


 LISENSSI
 --------
 FINTRIS-ohjelmistoa ei saa levittää vajavaisena tai niin, että sitä on
 muutettu, eikä sitä saa myydä ilman tekijän kirjallista lupaa. Jos levität
 tätä ohjelmaa muille, sinun täytyy tehdä se niin, että kaikki tiedostot, jotka
 on mainittua kappaleesssa "FINTRIS-TIEDOSTOT", ovat mukana.


 VASTUUVAPAUS
 ------------
 OHJELMAN TEKIJÄ TOMMI TARKIAINEN EI TAKAA OHJELMAN VIRHEETTÖMYYTTÄ JA TÄTEN
 SANOUTUU IRTI KAIKESTA VASTUUSTA MAHDOLLISTEN VAHINKOJEN TAI HÄIRIÖIDEN OSALTA,
 JOITA TÄMÄ OHJELMA SAATTAA AIHEUTTAA KÄYTTÖYMPÄRISTÖSSÄSI.


 REKISTERÖINTI
 -------------
 FINTRIS ON SHAREWARE-PELI. Tämä tarkoittaa sitä ETTEI SE OLE PUBLIC DOMAINIA
 EIKÄ SIIS ILMAINEN. Pelin Shareware-versio on tarkoitettu vain ja ainoastaan
 kokeilua varten. Jos pidät pelistä, Sinun olisi rekisteröitävä se. Fintris on
 kokonainen peli, siitä ei puutu mitään ominaisuuksia. Kuitenkin ne, jotka
 rekisteröivät Fintriksen saavat konfiguraatio-ohjelman kaupanpäälle. Lisäksi
 rekisteröidystä versiosta on poistettu Shareware-ilmoitukset.

 Rekisteröimismaksu on 50 mk ( tämä sisältää 15 mk posti-, ym. kuluja ) Suomessa
 asuvalle ja $11 ( $4 menee kuluihin ) Suomen ulkopuolella. Rekisteröimällä tuet
 laadukkaiden Shareware-ohjelmien valmistusta. Rekisteröityäsi saat
 rekisteröidyn version Fintriksestä, jossa on konfiguraatio-ohjelma ja josta
 Shareware-ilmoitukset on poistettu. Konfiguraatio-ohjelmalla voit määritellä
 näppäimet, joita haluat käyttää pelatessasi. Voit myös asettaa päävalikon
 valinnat mieleisiksesi, jolloin asetukset ( esim. MANA ) ovat sellaiset kuin
 Sinä haluat joka kerta, kun käynnistät ohjelman. Jos esimerkiksi haluat pelata
 4. tasolla ja yksinkertaiset palikat päällä, voit asettaa ne konfiguraatio-
 ohjelmasta oletusarvoiksi. Kun sitten käynnistät pelin 4. taso ja
 yksinkertaiset palikat ovat automaattisesti päällä, eikä Sinun tarvitse muuta
 kuin painaa P:tä aloittaaksesi pelin. Tulevaisuudessa voit myös rekisteröidä
 muita Software Illusions - ohjelmia alennetuun hintaan, kun olet
 rekisteröitynyt käyttäjä. Tällä hetkellä tosin ei muita Software Illusions -
 ohjelmia ole saatavilla. Amigalle on tulossa VELORIS-niminen Tetris-klooni,
 jonka on tehnyt Kalle Salminen. Lisäksi PC:lle on kehitteillä jonkinlainen
 peli. Emme ole vielä kuitenkaan saaneet päätettyä millainen se tulee olemaan.


 MITEN REKISTERÖIDÄ FINTRIS ?
 ----------------------------
 Sinun ei tarvitse tehdä mitään muuta kuin lähettää minulle kirje, jossa on
 rekisteröimismaksu, nimesi, osoitteesi ja levykkeen, jolla Fintris lähetetään
 Sinulle, koko ja tyyppi ( esim. 3½" HD ). Osoitteen löydät tämän tiedoston
 lopusta.


 MITÄ MANA ON ?
 --------------
 Mana on eräänlaista energiaa, jota voi käyttää tykin aktivoimiseen ja palikka-
 jonon käsittelyyn. Manaa saa, kun pudottaa kaksi, kolme tai neljä riviä
 palikoita. Mana kasvaa myös itsestään ajan mittaan, mutta vain erittäin
 hitaasti, joten pääasiassa manaa saa pudottamalla rivejä. Alussa ei ole paljoa
 manaa käytössä, joten sitä tulisi käyttää säästeliäästi.

 Manalla voidaan suorittaa seuraavia tehtäviä: POISTAA RIVI ampumalla tykillä.
 Tämä toiminto kuluttaa eniten manapisteitä. PALIKAN MONISTAMINEN on toiseksi
 manaa kuluttavin toiminto. Painettuasi palikan monistus näppäintä seuraava
 palikka tulee olemaan samanlainen kuin sitä edeltänyt palikka. Palikka, joka
 olisi normaalisti tullut seuraavana tulee monistetun palikan jälkeen.
 Kolmas ja viimeinen toiminto on PALIKAN POISTO, joka vaatii kaikkein vähiten
 manaa. Voit poistaa seuraavan palikan palikkajonosta painamalla palikanpoisto
 näppäintä.

 Manan ollessa päällä pisteitä ei tule pudotuksista yhtä paljon kuin, jos mana
 olisi pois päältä. Tämä sen takia, että mana helpottaa pelaamista melko paljon.
 Toisinsanoen pisteitä tulee hitaammin, mutta peli kestää todennäköisesti
 kauemmin. On mahdollista saada paljon pisteitä käsittelemällä palikkajonoa.
 Palikan monistus on siinä erittäin kätevä.

 Saadaksesi mahdollisimman paljon etua manasta sinun tulee omaksua uudenlainen
 pelityyli. Tässä on muutamia vinkkejä, jotta pääsisit alkuun. Käytä tykkejä
 vain, kun se on aivan välttämätöntä. Käytä palikan monistusta saadaksesi
 mahdollisimman monta riviä tiputettua kerralla. Poista sellaiset palikat, jotka
 eivät sovi pinoon.

 Seuraavassa on joitakin numerotietoja avuksesi manan käytössä.

 KYLLÄ, Fintriksen lähdekoodit on mahdollista tilata. Fintris on ohjelmoitu
 käyttäen assembleria ja C-kieltä. Kaikki matalantason grafiikkarutiinit on
 tehty kokonaan assemblerilla ja muut osat pelistä on tehty C:llä. Koska näiden
 rutiinien kehittelyyn on kulunut suunnaton määrä aikaa ja työtä, olen pakotettu
 pyytämään niistä suhteellisen korkeaa hintaa. Jos olet kiinnostunut, voit
 tilata rutiinit alla olevasta osoitteesta.

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.

Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors.  With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.

For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members.  Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category.  Our library of
shareware contains over 3500 titles divided into 120 logical categories.

Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect.  As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.

PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.

Quality and support - guaranteed.  All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free.  We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.

Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.

Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.

If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.

Shareware Magazine has distinguished itself as the only internationally
distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.

Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement.  The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.

Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.

Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.

Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.

And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.

Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore.  In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
opportunities for discount purchases from PC-SIG.
