  You are controling the worm by using cursor keys and your mission is to   1/9
  try to eat as many pizzas as possible. (Player two keys are Z and C)

  Write PWORM ? to find out the game options / parameters.

  If the game halts on your machine, first disable sound system using parameter
  /N (I dont know how well does the Midas sound system work)

@
  By the way, I have done a LOT OF WORK to create this game. I hate         2/9
  shareware and cripple ware stuff, so I made this game as FREEWARE. But if
  you like the game, feel free to send (email / postcard / money) to me.

  If you have any idea what would you do to (add / fix) this game just drop me
  email.

version 2.1G
   + More bug fixes
   + Now game stars in high score mode. So game starts after pressing key.
   + New timing system, and now this should also work with gus.

   P.S. If you run game once under OS/2, say bye bye to your high scores..
   Game wont run unless you delete the highscore file.

@

                    highscore screen)

   (If you want to make program for swapping highscores just ask for data
    formats)

     different after other games... Nice..)
   + Assembler part to reserve memory. (Old one was slow 16 bytes reserver,
     It might take up to 5 seconds to reserve memory. Now it happends with
     12 assembler commands. And uses about 0.0001 seconds time...)
   + Some of the samples are better (Made by Sini)
   + Greetings screen bars variable speed.

     pizza formulas is HARD work, I used about 20 hours to get this ultra
     fast pizza method.)
   + Those new graphic pictures that I didn't get in time to be used with
     1.11beta
   + In beta version, there was bug with pizza wiping and placing
