This is CaS.   By Tom Wheeley <tomw@tsys.demon.co.uk>
============(README file for version 0.5.9)==========

  CaS is an all-purpose program for dealing with Casio Calculator Programs.

Curently,  CaS will read, parse and convert between:
   Ascii program files
   DOS text program files
   .CAS files, as used by the Program Link.
   .FXP files, as used by the QBASIC program by Bob Parish

CaS will also print out programs looking at their best, but this output can
not be used as input (unlike normal text output) due to its ambiguity.

Licence and Disclaimers
-----------------------

CaS is Copyright (c)1996 Tom Wheeley.

  You are free to use, abuse and distribute CaS to your friends.  You may
use and/or modify the source code, but if you do you may not call it CaS any
more if you distribute it.  If you send me your modifications, I am perfectly
likely to incorporate them into the main CaS code anyway, provided they're
not _too_ screwy!

  If you wish to use CaS code for a different program, you may freely use
parts of this source code, provided that you:
  + Acknowledge the fact you used CaS source code in your program, visibly
    to your program's users.
  + Send the author of CaS a copy of your program.
  + You are not under obligation to include source for your program, but
    that is preferred.

CaS at all times remains the Copyright (c) of Tom Wheeley.

  Commercial users and distributors should notify the author before
proceeding with their usage.  This is mainly so that I can keep track of the
usage of CaS.

  There is absolutely NO WARRANTY!  If CaS reformats your hard disk, then
that's tough!  (do tell me how it did it though, so I can fix it for
the next version ;)  Much care is taken into making CaS a responsible
program -- I use it too, remember.

  I am in no way connected with Casio, Travelling Software or Sparcom.  All
the work myself and others have put into CaS has been our own.  (see the
Credits section).  We divined the CAS format via simple legal (in the EU at
least, I believe) reverse-engineering techniques.  The home-made cables were
_not_ based upon the design found in the Travelling Software link.
