Description: This tile set consists of 36 tiles.  All match themselves.  
I hope this will help youngsters with their early reading as well as 
their matching skills.  I seek your opinion about how well I have 
done in achieving my goal.


Please notice: in my earlier tile sets I did not have enough experience
to round all the corners as you will find upon examination of my later
sets.  I did this quite deliberately to make separation between tiles
clearer.  It has helped me a lot.  In all of my early sets there were two
colors for the side and bottom of the tiles, usually a lighter color
on the left side and its darker mate on the bottom.  With Nels's new
Tilemaker or Mah Jongg game, I do not know which,  there has been some
independent computer thinking and many of the tile sides have been con-
verted to single color: charcoal (my own name for the dark gray).

This has caused a great deal of work on my part to recolor those tiles,
some of which have been included on this disk.  Earlier, I had not noticed 
the widespread auto editing that had been done and felt quite bad when
I discovered it.  Almost all of the sets on this disk that have dual
color side and bottom were changed.  I have not had time to do all the 
rest.  When you get a chance to compare, I would be glad for your
comments on the difference.

Feel free to give this to anyone who wants a copy.  I leave all my 
works in the public domain, though on some I have labored long and 
hard.  All my work with this tile building set , TILEMAKR, has been 
gratifying.  I have two OTHER mahjongg sets but with one I can
construct only board variations and with the other, nothing.
  
I would  like to hear from others who are interested in tile 
construction.  Maybe we have some things to share with each other.

If you have other sets that I made and they don't load or work right
let me know and I will send you a good copy.  My hard disk was being
sneaky about the way it was saving some of my stuff for quite a
while before I discovered it.

If you are disappointed with the sixteen color pallette of the IBM,
I have a couple hundred different color tiles made by combining
colors in varying proportions.  If you are interested send me a
couple of1.2 meg floppies and $10 and your name and address and
I'll send you all of the tile sets I have made mixing the colors. 
They will be archived as LZH files so I include LHA.EXE for your 
convenience.  If you do not need it say so and I wont include it.
