This is a shareware or user-supported adventure game. Whilst I retain copyright to the program I am perfectly happy for you to give copies of JACARANDA JIM to your friends, colleagues, bulletin boards and user groups provided the files are not altered in any way. Note: The files JIM.HNT and HINT.EXE are *NOT* shareware and should not be distributed. The hints facility is only available to registered players of the game. It is possible that you received this adventure game from a shareware library or public domain group. Money you may have paid to these groups is NOT passed on to the author of the software, you have merely paid for the media (ie the disk, or modem connect charge) on which the software is contained. The fee shareware companies charge for their services should be minimal. If you find yourself enjoying JACARANDA JIM please consider registration. Registration entitles you to a 5� or 3� inch disk containing the very latest fully-working version of JACARANDA JIM (complete with online hints and clues!), detailed maps of Ibberspleen IV, free updates of the program, and a bonus game.

You can send registrations to Nels at the following address: Nels Anderson, 92 Bishop Drive, Framingham, MA 01701, USA. You can also contact Nels on Compuserve (CIS: 71020,2613) and his Bulletin Board Xevious (508 875 3618). Please add $2 for shipping and handling. Nels can accept credit card registrations, but please remember to quote your expiration date! All other countries can register with me, Graham Cluley, at: Graham Cluley, 43 Old Mill Gardens, Berkhamsted, Herts, HP4 2NZ, UK. If you've got a query drop me a line and I'll do my best to help. Sorry, but I cannot accept credit cards like Nels. 2. The character of Alan the Gribbley is based upon someone I once knew - although not really qualifying to be described as a "person". He was a failed accountant with vaguely homicidal tendencies. Yes, he did have a beard, did hum smugly, and did have a copy of PC Tools Deluxe. Thankfully I have not had the pleasure of bumping into this gentleman for some time now, though I can still feel the bruises from his infamous "I can kill a cow with my bare hands in 157 different ways" demonstration. If I were you I'd follow my example and just not have anything to do with bearded men.. they're bad news. If you are ever in a Guildford pub and you see a man in a stripey jumper.. just be careful. 3. An adventure such as JACARANDA JIM will expect you to enter a wide variety of commands such as "GO NORTH", "ASK ERNIE ABOUT HIS NOSE", "PUSH THE PINK BUTTON WITH THE CUCUMBER", "DUFF HIM UP", and "GET ALL". As you can see it is a good idea to think of any command by the phrase "I would like to.." For example, you might decide "I would like to GO NORTH", and so all you would have to do is type in "GO NORTH". Similarly the thought "I would like to TAKE THE TAPE" could be entered as just "TAKE THE TAPE". All of these "commands" are entered at the > prompt. A wide vocabulary is understood by the adventure. Obviously if I were to list all the words understood by JACARANDA JIM many of the puzzles would be given away, but here are a few that might come in useful... SAY, HIT, ATTACK, GO, WALK, SHOUT, ASK, LIST, INVENTORY, EXAMINE, LOOK, SCORE, GIVE, PULL, PUSH, HELP, WEAR, GET, DROP, WAVE, CLIMB, EAT, and so on... All in all the parser for JACARANDA JIM is quite strong and should not give you too much trouble. 4. The "LIST" and "INVENTORY" commands will tell you which objects you are carrying at any one time. As well as this the up and down arrows on the keyboard scroll through the last 10 commands you have entered. This can be very helpful if you are a slower typist. 5. At any time during the adventure's proceedings you can "SAVE" your position on disk. This is a particularly good idea if you're about to do something really daft like jumping off the top of a double-decker bus.. not that there are any in JACARANDA JIM. When you do fail miserably at whatever ridiculous activity tickled your fancy you can always restore your old position with the "LOAD" or "RESTORE" command. 6. In moments of extreme emergency you may just wish to quit this program. Earlier versions of this program required the user (thats you by the way) to type "QUIT" at the prompt. However, this proved too difficult for some people and so you now have three ways of quitting: i. Type "QUIT" at the prompt. ii. Pressing ALT-X. Often accompanied by screams of "Oh my gawd how on earth did all these words get on my telly". iii. Pressing F10. Other useful abbreviations can be used by poor typists, or the plain lazy: X for EXAMINE object/thing/person L for LOOK I for INVENTORY of objects carried Frequently used directions like NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, UP and DOWN can be abbreviated to N, S, E, W, U and D respectively. Once you have already referred to a person by name you can generally refer to them again by using the words "HIM" or "HER". An example follows (user input is shown in upper case): > EXAMINE ALAN Alan is very handsome and sports a fine beard of tickertape and banana peel. He raises a distinguished eyebrow and blows me a discrete kiss. > ASK HIM ABOUT HIS BEARD Alan winks, "It was given to me by the Wild Women of the Hills. I had to give them a teapot first mind you". A similar approach can be taken when referring to objects which can be carried. For example, > TAKE KEY Okay. I have taken the gold key. > EXAMINE IT (the gold key) The gold key glistens in my hand. A length of seaweed clings bravely onto it. > ASK ALAN ABOUT IT (the gold key) Alan takes a look at the key in my hand. "Mmmm seaweed!", exclaims the Gribbley, "That'll look mighty fine in my beard". He snatches the gold key off me. > HIT HIM ON THE NOSE Oof! Alan begins to cry, I apologise for my cruel behaviour by kneeing him in the stomach.. 7. A recent survey conducted by Miss Sian Kentrolle of Houston, Texas came to the conclusion that 98% of those who registered their copy of JACARANDA JIM with the author went on to have a life of eternal bliss, untold riches, and no Gloria Hunniford. All for a pittance.. Huh! Such a simple act, for such fulfilment.. 8. Seriously folks, I need your money. In return I can promise you detailed maps, free updates and all that jazz. Upon registration you will be sent a 5� inch disk (or 3� inch, please state which you want) containing the very latest version of JACARANDA JIM. I will also mow your lawn, fix your plumbing, and be your ever-loving honey-bun till the end of time. Well, possibly. Registration fees and details are shown in the main program. Type "HELP" if you're not sure. Okay? 9. If you DON'T register you're going to keep getting crummy two elastic bands and a tube of toothpaste software. You'll only have yourself to blame. I will personally see to it that a smaller African republic comes round your house next Wednesday and mortars your shed into smithereens. It makes sense to register shareware software. 10.Finally, many players of JACARANDA JIM ask me what the point of the game is. Do you have to discover the secret of the Wild Women's teapot, uncover a vast treasure hoard or simply get a nice haircut for less than two bob? Well, just as in life the final objective of JACARANDA JIM is a mystery. However, it just might be a good idea to escape from Ibberspleen IV, and continue your journey back home to Earth.. Be seeing you Graham Cluley
