U.CODER
This program codes and decodes messages generally used in adventure hint sheets. These are normally coded by moving one character forward in the alphabet. This utility produces a file that can be read by View, hence allowing coded and decoded hints to be written 'directly' into a word processor. Primarily of use for those compiling hint sheets for text adventures (or any other games for that matter).
U.SCRN
This program provides 3D and large lettering for an introduction screen.
U.SOUND
This program was written using the sound definitions provided in an issue of Electron User and allows the user to hear various sounds and obtain the definition of the sound from the listing of the program.
U.VIEW-MENU
This provides a menu with a scrolling highlighted pointer. Adapted from a menu presented in Electron User.
The following provides the various foreground and background colours available on the Electron. The blue background is used in View-MENU as I personally find it easier on the eyes when writing with View.
Hold CTRL down and press the following keys (0 is the zero key).
