Thank you for playing SimJack 3.00! 

Installation is simple.  Move all of the unzipped files to
the directory you want them to permanently reside (e.g. C:\SIMJACK).
Note: the *.SJP files are the predefined game parameter files
which can be opened within SimJack.  Next, create a shortcut 
either in your "Windows \ Start Menu" directory or on your Desktop.

Removal is virtually the reverse of the installation.  However,
you will also want to remove the SIMJACK.INI file that resides
in your Windows directory.  By the way, SimJack does not tweak 
with your registry in any way.

I refuse to write a setup program because I always wonder what 
they're doing in the background.  Personally, If there's any
messin' around going on under the hood, I want to know what
it is!  Besides, this game is virtually stand-alone.


This program will improve your blackjack game!  Why?

    1. It contains a real-time advice facility which 
      statistically suggests what your next action 
      should be.  No more guessing if you should "hit", 
      "stand", "double down", etc.  Also, this advice 
      can be user defined.

   2. It contains game simulation.  Simulation is a 
      feature that allows rapid automated play.  This 
      feature gives you insight on how blackjack games 
      transpire.  Also, it can be used to validate any 
      user defined advice.  See, good advice will win 
      you money over thousands of rounds of play.

   3. It contains a full help facility containing basic
      as well as advanced blackjack tutorials and ,of 
      course, help on the application itself.


This software is shareware and may be freely distributed.
You are not required to register this software; however, 
unlicensed copies will be restricted to 25 rounds of play.
This restriction will effectively render the simulation 
feature useless.  There are two methods of registration.  

   1. You can register through Compuserve's Shareware
      Registration (GO SWREG).  SimJack is ID #3103.  A $10
      debit will appear on your CompuServe bill.  You will
      receive a license number via e-mail.

   2. You can send e-mail to 74462.1600@compuserve.com and
      request the address to send your $10 check or money 
      order.  Sorry for the inconvenience; however, this 
      method will avoid street address obsolescence.  After
      receiving your payment, you will receive a license 
      number via e-mail.


Please, send back comments or questions!  If the feedback 
deems a new version release, then I will e-mail the registered
users and let them know of the details.  I don't foresee any
additional cost for upgrades.  For instance, existing license
numbers will be valid on any upgrade.
