THE KRAZY KARTOONIST KAPER
--------------------------

It was a normal evening, just like any other, at the Warrington Art Studio ..
home of the loony known as KEZ THE KARTOONIST. Nothing stirred - not even a
teaspoon - when suddenly a man dressed in a black uniform and black balaclava
crashed through the window ......

"Hello" said Kez, "bit early with the chocs aren't you? It's not February 14th
yet!" The man glared at her angrily and yelled, "Shut up! You're in deep trouble
lady - this time you've gone too far with your degrading, lavatorial cartoons!
I'm taking you for ransom in the name of the S.A.S.!"

"Special Armed Services?" gasped Kez.

"No - Salford Art Saboteurs!" replied the stranger as he hit Kez over the head
with a nearby stuffed elephant. Soon, the man had bundled the unconscious
cartoonist into the back of a hired hearse, wiped the place clean of 'dabs' and
vanished into the night. As far as the neighbours were concerned, Kez had simply
'disappeared' .....

This is where YOU come in - in the role of CRIS THE DOG - Kez's faithful hound
and companion.

Upon finding that nobody was willing to come up with the required ransom-money
and that Kez was being held (against her will for a change) in tight chains in
KILMOORE CASTLE on MYSTERY MOOR (a place where people often go in but few were
ever fortunate enough to come out again - not ALIVE anyway!) YOU take it upon
yourself to rescue her - if you can!!!

NOTES
-----
This game will accept all the 'standard' type of inputs such as GET BOTTLE,
THROW ROPE, KISS FROG etc but it is also quite capable (thanks to the expert
'programming' of LARRY H.) of utilising the more 'complex' commands such as GET
THE BOTTLE AND THROW THE ROPE AT THE FROG, WHEN YOU HAVE TIED THE CLEAVER TO THE
END OF THE ROPE (or so we have been lead to believe - try it for yourself and
see what happens). However in most situations the use of the simple VERB/NOUN
series of commands will suffice.

Should you be unfortunate enough to 'die' then you will be allowed the option
(thanks once again to LARRY H's expert programming) to be resurrected at your
LAST ramsaved or saved position. To do this simply answer YES when asked ... if
not just answer NO ... easy task.

Use CRIS THE DOG'S super ability to converse with people in order to learn more
about them and the task-in-hand. Simply TALK to character, or SAY things TO
character, or ASK them ABOUT character.

Use the command AGAIN to repeat your last command, the word INFO to reveal all
the 'short' versions of the commands, the word VOCAB to reveal some useful words
and RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD to store a position to memory. SAVE and LOAD to store a
position to/from DISK.
