	PREFACE

	Story Twister is the result of many months of programming. I am
	very proud of  my product and  I wish that no one would hack it
	in any other way or try to steal it... Changing  someone else's 
	program is the lowest  thing any one could do to a  person.   A
	single program could take months  of hard work to write and for
	someone to  think  they are cool and  screw around with it just 
	doesn't seem right, does it? Not only is it immoral, it is also 
	illegal.  To  the issue of  stealing (a.k.a. sharing commercial
	software). All software piracy is stealing from the programmer.  
	When you share commercial software you  aren't only hurting the 
	programmer,  you  are  hurting  yourself.  Due  to  a  loss  of 
	revenues  a  programmer  could  lose  their  job and that's one 
	less programmer to develop quality applications.

	What Is Story Twister?

                Story Twister is *THE* Mad Libs game for Microsoft Windows.
                Story Twister reads Story Files with the STR extension, asks
                you for words to fill in the blanks, and then displays the
                story. Story Twister 1.50 has several other features, such
                as:
                   * Now allows printing of stories.
                   * Includes a shareware version of the Story File
                       Compiler for Windows.
                   * If you can't think of a word, just use the new
                       Wordbank.
                   * Supports the multiple document interface.
                   * Improved online help.

                Perplexic Software Story Twister Version 1.50 is a Microsoft
		Windows 3.1  application developed  by Jeffrey Carlyle using
                Borland  C++ 4.02.

        What Is The Story File Compiler?

                The Story File Compiler converts Story Source Files created
                using any text editor into Sory Files. The shareware Story
                File Compiler for Windows is completly operational, except:
                  * The authors name is set to "Shareware User."
                  * The description is set to "Register Story Twister."

                Story Twister registration now includes a registered version
                of the Story File Compiler for Windows.

	How Do I Use Story Twister?
		
                All you need to  run Story Twister is Windows 3.1 or better.
                Story Twister  1.5 also  has an  installation  program,  run
                INSTALL.EXE to setup Story Twister.  The Story Twister menus
                work just like most Windows programs. If you need more help,
                click on Help|Index.  Then click on >> to browse through the
                help  file.  If  you have  any problems with  Story Twister,
                please contact Perplexic Software.

	Where Can I Get Stories?

                The  best  place  to  look  for  stories  is from  Perplexic
                Software distribution points like The Rift BBS. Now that the
                Story File Compiler is being distributed as shareware, it is
                likely that their will be other sources for stories.

	How Can I Get Rid of Those Registration Screens?

                Register Story Twister  and no  more registration  screens.
                See the section titled  "More About Registration" for  more 
                information.
