which part is incorrect?
The need to use review mode?
the not meant to be serious?
If it isn't making sense to the screen reader, because things are coming
across out of order, because how they're put on the screen, then you're
going to have to do more than just adjust your screeen reader. Tell it
to ignore the screen content coming from the bios, then have it read the
screen lines from display memory. That's the only way you're going to
have it read things in an order that makes sense. Can your screen
reader do that?
Maybe, if you can use screen zones, and create windows to ignore content
by default. If you can't figure out how to do those things, then this
game won't make any sense to your screen reader.
As I said, a simple recoding of the game to use standard C functions,
and only update the screen when necessary instead of using interrupt
calls to put things on the screen would go a long way toward making it
screen reader friendly, but since you know more about how to program
than I do apparently, and have a screen reader that is so magical it can
rearrange the way things are put on the screen, you have at it. I
apologize for trying to assist. Trust me, I won't do it again, because
every time I try to help you, there's always backlash. I've got better
things to do with my time.

Travis,
That statement is incorrect.
My personal screen reader allows me to make adjustments.
However, with no documentation, and so forth, knowing what is to
happen with this game is unclear.

It's not making sense to your screen reader, because it's putting
things on the screen where they need to be, and not always in the
order the line is created, that's why it doesn't make sense to you.
You'll need to make liberal use of the review screen commands to play
this one.
Were interruptsand bouncing around the screen necessary? Of course
not, but like the source says, they were having fun, and this was the
result. It wasn't meant to be serious.
A simple recoding of the program would make it considerably more
screen reader friendly, but that's another story entirely.

Hi Thirsting,
Thanks for sharing the program.
A couple of points.
First, speaking personally, the sub directory for files should reflect
DOS, even if more current editions, ms dos 7.1, freedos, allow for
long
file names.
Second, there is no readme file or other documentation for the
game..at
all. I am personally using a screen reader.
Does it talk? yes, does what it speak make sense? not necessarily.
Just sharing my experience.
Best,
Karen
