WILSTAR SOFTWARE At the current time (Sept 1992), there are three volumes of Wilstar Software programs. They are labeled as Wilstar Software Volumes 1 - 3. In addition, there are several other Wilstar Software programs that are not yet included on these 3 volumes. If you need to contact the author (Jerry Wilson) of ANY of the Wilstar Software programs, there are a number of ways to go about it: The best (and fastest) way is to leave GEnie Email at my GEnie mail address: J.WILSON120.

Most of the Wilstar Software line of programs are shareware. A couple of them are freeware or have been placed in the public domain. These programs are clearly marked as freeware or public domain. Almost all the Wilstar Software programs can be registered for a $10 registration fee. Anyone who registers a program will be sent the Wilstar Software volume that includes that particular program. Most likely, the disk will contain a newer version of the program you register. Some of the Wilstar Software programs included in one of the three volumes include: THE WILSTAR ALMANAC -- An almanac, moon phase program with chimes. WILSTAR DAILY REMINDER -- Displays reminders at boot w/ alarm. WILSTAR TRIVIA BREAK -- A trivia game. I-70 EXPRESS -- A truck driving simulation. CONVERT IT -- Converts measurements from one unit to another. DAYS TO -- Gives the number of days remaining to the next holiday. WEEKDAY -- Gives day of week for any date, plus birthday stats. MESSAGE MINDER -- Used for leaving screen messages. GREETINGS -- Greets you personally at boot up. WILSTAR SPELLING BEE -- Great for helping with spelling homework Scheduled to be included soon on one of the volumes, but already in Shareware release on GEnie is the LOOKING BACK program (LOOKBKx.ZIP). It displays what happened on today's date in history at boot and can be personalized with family or company dates. The MOON PHASE WALLPAPER (MOONBMP.EXE) program is not included on any volume because it is used exclusively with WINDOWS 3.x. The same applies to SPACEBMP.ZIP, which can be found in GEnie ibmpc RT library. MOON PHASE WALLPAPER is a WINDOWS startup utility that changes the wallpaper background of windows to display the earth disk along with the current moon phase. The MOONBMP.EXE program can be ordered (or registered) for $7.50. The SPACEBMP.ZIP file is free. If you don't have access to GEnie, send me $5.00 media, P&H fee and I'll be happy to send it to you. It is a collection of space-related .BMP wallpaper files for WINDOWS. One popular public domain program is the FREEDM22.ZIP file that includes the text of several historic documents of the U.S. It is menu driven and also plays 3 patriotic tunes. Again, it is available on GEnie, but I will send you a copy of it for the $5.00 media fee. Jerry Wilson
