DESCRIPTION: BASSMAP is a companion program to Dick Olsen's BassTour
and Bass Class which allows you to create your own lakes to fish on.
It is a simple to use editor which allows the creation of an infinite
variety of lakes, or simple changes to existing lakes.

There are two versions of BassMap, one for EGA systems and one for
CGA.  The maps created by either version are identical and can be
used in BassTour with any screen type.

REQUIREMENTS:  BASSMAP runs in 640x350, 16 color EGA graphics mode
or in 320x200, 4 color CGA graphics mode (using bassmapc.exe).

SHAREWARE: BASSMAP is distributed as Shareware.  You are free to try
the program and make copies for others.  If you continue to use it,
however, you must pay the author a registration fee of $10 (plus $2
