Welcome to Cadenza Software. Cadenza Software is dedicated to only writing
Atari (TOS compatible) software that is both powerful while being easy to
use. Cadenza Software applications and accessories released on and before
the 1st November 1996 are deemed FREEWARE. This means the copyright is
kept by Matthew Bacon and Cadenza Software. PD libraries and Atari users
may distribute Cadenza Software on the condition that NO files are omitted
or altered in any way!
All Cadenza Software products are written and produced using HiSoft Basic
v2.10 (in my opinion the very best BASIC on any home computer) and Wercs
within a MagiC 5 environment on a 4mb Atari STe with a Hi-Res monitor.
I wish to stress that, while Cadenza Software applications should work in
exactly the same way regardless of resolution, number of colours on
screen, Atari compatible computer (obviously all set-ups cannot be tested!).
I hope that Cadenza Software is able to serve you for many years to come.
If you have any questions, suggestions/criticisms (constructive as
possible) or ideas, then please do contact me, and I will see what I can
do... but no promises as I do not have much time outside of my degree.
All the best.
Matthew Bacon (Cadenza Software)

Welcome to tictactoe. This program was designed as an alternative to playing
'noughts & crosses' and wasting all those pieces of paper. Because tictactoe
is GEM compatible (and full multitasking compatible) you can play a game in the
middle of writing a letter in Papyrus for instance.

ú Discussion of functions available
It is a simple affair really. On the title screen click anywhere on it. The
playing board will then appear. It is first a good idea to choose your
opponant. You can play against a friend (he/she will not be one for long
though!!!) or the computer (it lets you win occasionally - honest!). The
other icons represent, 'Start a new game' and 'Quit'.
Just click on the square you wish to start and the game begins. When playing
against the computer, you are given the choice to go first or let the
computer do so. That's it really.
You do not have to keep hitting the 'Start a new game' icon everytime you
wish to start a new game (unless you are in the middle of a game), simply
click on the square where you wish to start the game and begin. In the
registered version the limit of only 5 games is removed and you can play for
hours, or even days if you wish!!!!! A point to remember is that the player
that goes first, always becomes crosses.
ú How to Install tictactoe
ú Simply execute TICTAC.PRG (making sure that TICTAC.RSC & READ.ME
are in the same directory).

Below I have listed the some of the reasons why I think YOU should register as
a user of tictactoe...
- Because you will gain a Desk Accessory version as well as lifting the
limit of three/five games (demo restriction). In order to recieve these
registered versions a self address envelope, stamp & disk need to be
provided!!
- Because it's free!, FREE!, YES FREE!!
- Because it will encourage me to produce an update and further software for
the Atari community!
- If you supply a disk when contacting me by letter, I will copy all the latest
Cadenza Software onto it! (including source code of certain applications!).
- If you supply an E-Mail address, I will contact you to inform you of future
updates and products by Cadenza Software (your E-Mail address will not be
given to any commercial companies!).
- Because it will give you a voice about what YOU want and not what I think you
want! (this can be about Cadenza Software past/present and future).
- Because it will give you a warm glow inside! (this has not been scientifically
proven as yet).
- Because I want to know what's good AND bad about Cadenza Software!!
- Why not?!
