SHAREWARE AND FREEWARE

DISK 1

This disk contains Shareware and Freeware that we've found to
be of interest to GAME-MAKER users. Most of the files have
been compressed into .ZIP files. If you copy PKG204G.EXE to a
subdirectory and run it, it will self expand into the PKWARE
set of files, including the PKUNZIP.EXE file. Run PKUNZIP to
unzip other .ZIP files on the shareware disk.

Please respect the authors of the Shareware. If you find
their software useful, please register and compensate the
authors for their products. Thanks.

Freeware is, as it sounds, free. Sometimes the author of a
Freeware product does request limiting the use of the product,
such as asking you not to include it inside of other products.

== CONTENTS ==

=== 1. Subdirectory GWS ===

This subdirectory contains the DOS version and the Windows
version of the Graphic Workshop Shareware product. Graphic
Workshop is very useful for displaying graphic files. It also
offers many image manipulation tools. The Windows version and
the DOS version offer slightly different capabilities.

=== 2. Subdirectory GAMES ===

This subdirectory contains GAME-MAKER games created by
GAME-MAKER users. Recreational Software Designs encourages
its customers to submit games that they have created, either
Freeware, Shareware or other, for similar distribution.

==== [[Viki|VIKI]] by [[Ron Marie Services]] ====

Shareware. I've played the registered game, and as
claimed, the extra two levels are more
complex and challenging. Each level has
different graphics.

==== [[A-J's Quest|AJBEAR]] by [[Eric-Jon Waugh]] ====

Shareware. An interesting and challenging game, with
five main levels and five hard to find bonus
levels. A-J Bear has an excellent and fun
character.

==== [[Slinker|SLINKER]] by [[David Wallin]] ====

Slinker has a very interesting character movement
and a unique weapon.

=== 3. Subdirectory UTILS ===

This subdirectory contains utilities useful to GAME-MAKER
users. Included on this disk are:

==== UNXFER.BAT ====

When GAME-MAKER 'transfers' a game, all the Gameware files
associated with the game are moved from the development
environment subdirectories to one subdirectory on a diskette
or hard drive. The UNXFER freeware utility will move all the
files in a 'transferred' game back to the GAME-MAKER
development environment subdirectories. It is very useful in
bring someone's game into your GAME-MAKER development
environment so that you can enhance the game or use some of
the game elements within your own game.

WARNING: If the game you are 'untransferring' contains files
of the same name as already exist in your GAME-MAKER
environment, the files being untransferred will replace the
existing files. Run this utility for information about how to
deal with this. You may safely run UNXFER.BAT by typing
'UNXFER', as the utility will then just display information
about it's use.

==== GAME-MAKER [[Graphics Tools]] ====

These tools can save you time when you want to incorporate
graphic images into GAME-MAKER maps.

=== 4. Subdirectory COMPRESS ===

This subdirectory contains two compression/decompression
programs:

==== PKWARE ====

Shareware.

==== [[LHarc|LHA]] ====

The LH Archive freeware. See the distribution
restrictions in the manual.
