To see what this program does just run it....... then type card -s to change
the message etc to whatever you prefer and give it to all your friends as an
electronic Christmas or birthday card.

The card should run about 45 fps on a fast 486.... for a 386 you may need to
turn the music off to get a decent speed..... if you're lucky enough to have
a Pentium etc then don't worry.. press F within the program to see the frame
rate, and F1 takes a screen shot.

In the setup (card -s) you can change the startup picture, music, background
and message. All of this should be pretty explanatory.... in the message the
first 15 characters (brighter than others) will be the title (ie the letters
jumping around at the top of the card). When you quit setup notice that your
DOS font is changed to a much nicer one - if you're stupid enough to want to
change it back type MODE CO80.
