Program: Trivia Master
Written using O.S.S. Personal Pascal

TRIVIA MASTER is an entertainment/educational game/utility which can be put
to many uses. In addition to the file which comes with the program, you can
input your own sets of trivia, study questions, etc.

Loading instructions:
Load the program TRIVIA.PRG by double-clicking on its icon. When the
file-selector box appears, click on the "OK" box to load the data file. This
takes about 20 seconds (to load TRIVIA.TRV).

Playing instructions:
From the Options menu, select 'New Game'. Ten questions will appear, one at
a time. Using the left mouse-button, select your choice (of the four answers)
to the question on the top two lines. At the completion of ten questions, the
score will be announced. Select 'New Game' to play again,or 'Quit' to return
to the desktop.

Designing your own trivia games:
Using a word processor(such as 1st Word,or the O.S.S. Personal Pascal editor)
that saves text without extra information, type in your questions. You MUST
use a total of seven lines per item for TRIVIA MASTER to function properly:
two lines for the question, four lines for choices, and one line for the
answer. The question and choice lines can contain up to a maximum of sixty
characters each. (If you do not need a second line for your question, insert
a blank line in its place.) The answer will be a single digit (1, 2, 3 or 4),
depending upon which would be the correct choice of the user. You MUST end
the data with five lowercase x's (xxxxx) on the last line. Before designing
your own, you may want to view TRIVIA.TRV as an example.

A final note:
I would be very interested in any source code produced in Personal Pascal,and
will gladly correspond with other interested people to exchange ideas and
information. I will also give any help that I can possibly give to anyone who
asks.
No matter which language you use, let's show everyone what the ST is capable
of doing. The Atari ST is the computer of tomorrow. It is also the computer
for NOW!!
