Program : Ahmed's Etch-a-Sketch w/Direct Input
Author  : Ahmed El-Helw
Date    : July 28, 1997

	This is a set of Etch-a-Sketches.  Everything is self explanitory, at least
once you look at this list below, which lists all the programs in the zip and group file,
plus a description of each and some explanation :

- etchsoft.zip	- The Zip File

- etchsoft.83g	- The Programs
- ZETCH.83p	- The main prgm w/direct input
- ZETCH1.83p	- Another version of the main program - read below to know difference.
- ZETCH2.83p	- Andrew Von Dollen's Etch-a-Sketch, no Direct Input
- ETCH.83p	- A basic etch-a-sketch, written in basic
- ZETCH.z80	- Source for main prgm
- ZETCH1.z80	- Source for diff ver. of main program
- ZETCH2.z80	- Andrew's Source Code

	So, now I will explain.  ZETCH is my main program, the fastest etch-a-sketch that works
that there is.  The ZETCH1 is another version, which does not work right.  Here is why.  Direct Input
is extremely fast.  Therefore, when DInput is put, a loop to slow the calc down had to be put.  This
loop is put in ZETCH, not in ZETCH1.  Therefore, they all work, but ZETCH1 doesn't draw right.  ZETCH2
is simply Andrew's original ASM version, without Direct Input, to show you the difference in speed.
ETCH is a basic program, to show you that ZETCH and all the ZETCH family are much faster than the basic.
Also, the source codes are all enclosed.  

	Operation is simple.  For the ZETCH, use Send(9prgmZETCH.  This is the same for the other
programs as well.  Pressing Mode will quit all, except ZETCH2, which requires you to press enter
to quit.  Clear of course clears the screen.  None of these save the pic, because my main reason
is for this to be used as a learning util for ASM.
