        Here's a new word game with a very different twist.  On the game 
     screen, a message from a faulty dot matrix printer is displayed.  The 
     letters in the message are missing some of the dots (pixels) that make 
     them recognizable as letters.  Your job is to figure out what the 
     message says and type it at the bottom of the screen. 

        Some of the messages are profound quotes.  Some are silly riddles. 
     If you can correctly decipher the Missing Dots Matrix message, then 
     the program will reveal who said the famous words or it will reveal 
     the answer to the riddle.  Good luck! 


     ^1PLAYING THE GAME
        Press the SPACE bar and a Missing Dots Matrix message will be 
     shown. The current letter will have a box around it.  Mentally fill in 
     the missing dots and type what you think the current letter is on the 
     answer line at the bottom of the screen. 

        If your guess is correct, then your letter will stay on the answer 
     line and you can move on to the next letter.  If your guess is 
     incorrect, then you will have to try again.  Please note, the computer 
     does all the punctuation for you including spaces. 

        When you successfully finish a puzzle, the name of the person who 
     said the quote or the answer to the riddle is revealed. 


     ^1ACTIVE KEYS
        On the game screen, the following keys are active:
           <F1>  HELP  - provides information on how to play
           <F2>  LOAD  - lets you load a new puzzle file
           <F3>  SOUND - lets you turn the sound and speech off and on
           <F4>  LEVEL - lets you make the puzzles hard or easy
           <ESC> QUIT  - exit program or cancel a menu without change


     ^1USING THE MOUSE
        If you are using a mouse, the cursor on the screen looks like a 
     screw driver.  If it were real, you could use it to fix the faulty dot 
     matrix printer.  Unfortunately, it's not.  However, you can use it to 
     access menu options on the screen.  Place the cursor on your choice 
     and click to activate it. 

        You may also use the mouse to answer YES or NO.  Click the left 
     button for YES and the right button for NO. 


     ^1CREATE YOUR OWN PUZZLE FILES
        Maybe you don't like our riddles.  Suppose you think our quotes are 
     dull.  Don't just sit there.  Make up your own puzzle files.  Using 
     your favorite editor, create FILENAME.PIX and enter your favorite 
     quotes or riddles.  Now you'll have new puzzles to amuse your family 
     and friends. 

        The following restrictions apply when editing your puzzle file:

           1. Your puzzle file must have the .PIX extension.
           2. The file you create must be in simple ASCII text.
           3. Your quote or riddle must be less than 120 characters.
           4. The author of the quote or the answer to the riddle
              must be less than 70 characters.
           5. The quote and the author (or the riddle and the answer)
              must be on the same line separated by a slash (/).
           6. The last line of the file must be an asterisk (*).
           7. The complete puzzle file cannot be longer than 1500 bytes.

        Please look at the .PIX files on this disk for an example.
