FORTUNE TELLER (c) 1989
Quarters-N-Dimes
This program was written from scratch by two 'novice'
programmers who wanted something creative to do. (right!)
You are free to distribute and make copies of this
AWESOME program. However, you MUST include all Original
Documentation and the program MAY NOT be tampered with.
Please enjoy our creation.
As you may have heard, we have installed many an easter
egg on this program...you may find them by typing certain
characters/keys/words/phrases at a 'prompt' ( ] , ? , etc..)
OR if you cannot find them on your own or it's too much of a
pain (which it is), just register with us (send shareware
fee) and we will send you a sheet with all key-code/commands
for you to explore the far-reaches of this program.
Please send $5.00 (only FIVE BUCKS!) to:
SPHINX User Group
1305 W. Oregon Street
Bellingham, WA 98225
Now, how to operate FORTUNE TELLER:
This program was created to make it easier on those who
don't like to think and as a rest for those to whom thinking
comes naturally...All you do is follow on screen
directions...
1. Use ACU to unpack this file. You should have about
30-some-odd files (a lot isn't it). Copy the files PRODOS
and BASIC.SYSTEM from your System Disk or Copy II Plus onto
the disk and rename it '/TUTORIAL'. You are now ready to
run FORTUNE TELLER!
2. Insert the disk and wait for startup screen. make
sure that you take a good look at the enthraling graphics!
Press any key (although it says SPACE BAR)
3. Be sure to read this screen it contains the
copyright 'stuff' and all the information you need to know
(about shareware of course)
4. Use the mouse to select either:
Run FORTUNE TELLER
Quit to BASIC
or
Run another program
For now, move the cursor onto the Run FORTUNE TELLER
'zone' and click the button, the rest are for once you have
already used this program or if you want to boot up
something else.
5. Three screens appear (not at once!). They are the
credit screens, we like to give each other credit, Quarters
and Dimes. Press any key when you've read the whole 4 words
on each picture.
6. Finally, you get to see the REAL PROGRAM! Pretty
Neat, huh? Well read the address and if you haven't gotten
it already, write it down (preferrably on an envelope with a
check in it) Read the following screens and then enter your
name...It really doesn't matter, you can enter whatever you
want. It just makes the program seem 'nicer'
7. You will be told your fortune. For now, we do not
have a print option (stinks doesn't it?) We are having
technical difficulties in that area, but in 1.1 or 2.0 we
hope to have it licked and you will be able to print your
fortunes on your Imagewriter ( I or II ).
8. You will be given three cards, one at a time, and
when you are done, you will be asked if you would like to
have another set. This comes in handy when two or more
people want fortunes and only one can get them at a time.
Just enter 'y' or 'n'. If you enter 'n' then you will be
taken back to the Opening pictures and choices sequence.
9. ENJOY! Boot this program every morning before you
go to work or school. It only takes a couple of minutes.
(WARNING!! Do NOT use this program when you are late! You
could get MAD while waiting for the screens and THRASH your
computer. Not good) If you register, we will supply you
with the "QUICK LETTER" or the letter you push at the
beginning so you can get to the goodies!
We urge you to send in for your registration. Besides
getting FREE upgrades including the PRINT OPTION, you get
the key-codes for the BEST DARNED EASTER EGGS YOU'LL EVER
SEE!!! They are good! Please send in and give copies to
your friends with IIGS's.
NOTE: Feel free to show off the STUDLY graphics to 'GOOBERS'
who own Amiga's or Commodores or IBM compatables...They suck
the computers and their owners!
P.S. To get you started, here's the "QUICK LETTER" egg:
On the SECOND screen the one with the shareware info. on it,
instead of pressing any key, simply press 'p' (lowercase)
and you will be WARPED to the beginning of the 'fortune
teller' program!
