Timber (Sawmill) - Nick Hockaday (Your Computer-March 85-Page 121)

A Company with tree plantations connected by trails in timber country has gi-
ven you a contract to supply their four sawmills with logs. You have hired
three tree felling crews and you have a truck with which to transport crews or
to collect and deliver logs. For safety reasons you cannot transport logs and
crews together.
 A crew that has been dropped at a plantation will work diligently while you
use the truck for other buiness but the crew will not move to another planta-
tion unless you take them there. You may call a crew to you by sounding a si-
ren on your truck.
 Your truck can carry a maximum of nine logs but if you attempt to overfill
it, you will find that another log will fall off and be lost. The maximum
speed of the truck is govered by the terrain and the log-load. Each sawmill
shows in green the number of logs that it has in hand for processing, but if
the number is less than 20 the display is white. These numbers will decrease
periodically as the logs are processed but will increase if you make a deli-
very. Your score will show the total number of logs that you have delivered.
If any sawmill runs out of logs then your contract is terminated and the game
is over.
 To drop off a crew, stop the truck on the trail alongside the required posi-
tion and press the appropriate direction key. Because of the bumpy ride you
must not carry a crew if you are driving on a plantation. To pick up a log,
press appropriate direction key. If you inadvertently drive into a tree, it
will be up-rooted but will not be suitable as a log for a sawmill.
 To deliver logs, stop the truck on the trail alongside any sawmill and press
A. If the truck is on a trail you may call a nearby crew to you by pressing C.
