For a while now I've had these programs hidden away in my many
piles of diskettes, never seeing the light of day, not to mention the
lamp-light in my basement!  Well, I've finally decided to release them
to the Public Domain.  I still own the rights to the programs, etc,
but the programs can be distributed in any way desired except for
profit.  However, this may be used by the Glenside Color Computer
Club for its Disk of the Month Club.

    The programs found on this diskette were written years ago in
my early programming days.  My lack of experience at that time shows
through in many of the programs.  This text file will provide very
basic information on how to run the programs and which keys operate
the programs.

    All of the programs are written to run with a program named
J-MASTER.BAS.  If you have a CoCo 1 or CoCo 2, then you need to
RENAME "OLDER.BAS" TO "J-MASTER.BAS".  If you have a CoCo 3, then
you need to RENAME "NEWER.BAS" TO "J-MASTER.BAS".  Renaming the
appropriate file to "J-MASTER.BAS" is a one-time thing.  You don't
need to do that each time you want to run J-MASTER.BAS.

    Next, at the OK prompt, type RUN "J-MASTER" [ENTER].  This will
start up the main program.  After the title screens, etc, you will
have an option screen.  Choose '1' to load in a program.  When asked
for the file-name, you may type DIR for a directory of all the
J-Master programs on the diskette.  If you are running the CoCo 1 & 2
version of the J-Master program, you may not be able to load in
certain programs.  The reason is that they require special CoCo 3
capabilities and J-Master recognizes this and will not let you load
those programs on a CoCo 1 or 2.  The error message you get may be
confusing, though.  J-Master will tell you that the program is not
a J-Master file.  Don't worry about it.  If you are running on a
CoCo 3, you will not have this problem.  Also, you may type DOS at
the OK prompt instead of RUN "J-MASTER" if you have DECB 1.1 or
2.1.

That's about it.  Also, at any time during any game, you may press
'Q' to return back to the J-Master main program.  Some J-Master
programs have more than one menu selection after loading.  Use 'Q'
to return to the main menu and enter another selection.  Use the
last option, "Reset J-Master system" to re-load the main program to
get rid of a J-Master program in memory so you can load up another
game.  Enjoy!
