echo             There's also a short demonstration file HIDEMO.BAT, which will
echo             run in a minute.
echo.
echo MEMASC    - is a pop-up ASCII table, showing all the standard ASCII codes,
echo             their corresponding PC characters and any special functions 
echo             assigned to particular values.
echo.
echo SAVEPIC   - This small suite of programs saves and loads 16 colour EGA
echo             screens from an EGA or VGA PC. It is supplied archived, complete
echo             with a sample EGA screen. It needs to be decompressed before
echo             running. This can be done by moving to the INTRO sub-directory
echo             and using the PKUNPAK program.
echo                 Leave the SuperDisk menu and type CD \INTRO, followed by
echo             PKUNPAK A:\SHORTIES\SAVEPIC.ARC [path], where [path] is the
echo             full path, including drive letter, to the required target
echo             directory.
