CHARLEY CAT 12 - COWBOY CATS
                             by Anthony Whitaker
30th August 1995


Hello, everybody. Hope you are well and that you haven't given up hope on
your favourite computer in view of the recent Commodore saga, and Escom
planning to sell the basic A1200 at £399. (If anyone says that's a rip-off,
you can always say that it will be cheaper through mail order, and that
we'll still have top software at rock-bottom prices compared to the PC and
Mac. I'm not saying they're BAD machines, just that their creative software
(and the hardware itself in some cases) costs an arm and a leg (the games
aren't that cheap either).

    But that's enough whingeing. I haven't given up hope, and this cartoon
I've been working on for the past five months should keep you happy. It's
the latest CHARLEY CAT cartoon, the twelfth in the series, and Charley is
in the Wild West this time, along with his two feline sidekicks, Jake (an
overall poser) and Ricky (mad on gunpower). Their adversary is Tiger, the
yellow striped cat from the first, second, fifth, eighth and ninth cartoons
who pestered Charley relentlessly, usually trying to suck up to his
girlfriend Alyson.

WARNING: Although the cartoon itself is freely distributable (you may make
copies, as long as everything on the original disks is also on the copy in
its original unchanged format), the characters and other graphics are
copyright and may not be used without my permission.
SPECIAL WARNING: This cartoon has been split into four parts, each
requiring 2Mb. Yes! This is open to ALL A1200 users! And as the A1200 is an
accelerated machine, it will also take advantage of the extra speed to make
the cartoon really rocket!
    Also, the cartoon is Shareware. If you decide to use the cartoon on a
regular basis, please send me a small fee of at least two pounds. You may
use cheques, but please do not use travellers' cheques.

    If anyone has any queries concerning this or my other cartoons, do
please drop me a line:

RG18 3DN, United Kingdom
    All Shareware fees go to this address as well.

One last thing, though. Despite what I have said above, Part 4 may not
quite fit into 2Mb. If not, then I apologise.

THANKS FOR READING - ENJOY THE CARTOON
