0050 ^MA 1 80 ^JU ^SK1Mahjong is a very popular gambling game that has been imported from the
0060 Far East where it is frequently associated with the infamous opium dens - not
0070 a good introduction for what is a most enjoyable family game ! Yet it is and to
0080 overcome the difficulties of whether or not to teach your children to gamble it
0090 can be played as a scoring game with lots of 'You owe me double'. For those who
0100 are not much good with paper and pencil the enclosed program keeps score, round
0110 by round and on a cumulative basis.
0120 ^SK1At the beginning of each game you will be prompted for the name of each
0130 player. This is done to avoid arguments during the game as to who is Player 1,
0140 who is Player 2, etc. The User Instructions are fairly simple - Run the program
0150 and respond appropriately to the prompts.
0160 ^SK1The version presented is for four players. I have a version for three players;
0170 a listing of which I will supply on receipt of an s.a.e. If you enclose 6 cards
0180 I will record it for you. Our family has found the program usefull, particularly
0190 when on holiday, and I hope that you do as well.
