NOTE :  The Acrostix program contains a self-verifying routine to protect
   it against  Computer  Viruses.  When you  run the  program you will see a
   brief message if the program is clear. A warning message will be displayed
   if the program has been altered in any way.

   ACROSTIX is a computer game which encourages creativity and thinking.  If
   you like to be challenged intellectually or like to challenge others then
   this game is for you!

   The program is in two parts. You can solve Acrostics or you can create
   them for others to solve. Since there is no challenge in solving puzzles
   you have created yourself, share them with others - your spouse, children,
   friends, colleagues or the world at large. Just give them a copy of
   ACROSTIX and the Acrostix files you have created, and let them have fun
   meeting your challenge.

   Or upload them to your favorite  Bulletin  Boards or Compuserve ( the IBM
   NEW WordGames Forum or the Education Forum) and get fame for your ability
   to create Acrostix. Your name will be displayed on the Acrostix files you
   create!

   And remember to upload them to our Bulletin Board - The Knowledge Transfer
   BBS - at (713) 370-5804 (24 hours 2400 - 14400 N81). It has a special area
   for Acrostix and Krypto. Upload yours and download others!

   To run the program, type ACROSTIX.
