Jixxa README.TXT
----------------
Hello and welcome to the Jixxa software package from Rhode Island Soft
Systems, Inc.!
This package contains Jixxa, the premier Jigsaw Puzzle game for Windows
3.1, plus 2 fun jigsaw puzzles to get you going. This package contains an
automated installation utility, and interactive on-line help. It should
be noted that registered users of Jixxa receive the full retail version of
Jixxa which contains everything in this shareware version PLUS several new
game features, and a dozen more jigsaw puzzles!
The Jixxa puzzles in this package are intended for 256 color displays, so
if you only have a 16 color display, you will not see the full beauty of
the images. Of course, the game will still work, but not in the intended
manner. You can verify your color setting in the "Help... About..." box.
The 2 puzzles in this package are made with "Large" and "Small" pieces.
The registered version ships with additional, different piece sizes as
well ("Medium" and "Tiny"), for more variety.
The following information will guide you through installing the Jixxa
files. Once installed, the SETUP program will create a program group and
install icons for the documentation files, which you can read by clicking
on the document's icon.
VERIFICATION OF FILES
---------------------
At this point, please look for all of the files that belong to the Jixxa
package. All of the files are listed in the file VENDINFO.DIZ. If the
VENDINFO.DIZ file or any of the files listed in VENDINFO.DIZ are missing,
please contact us for an official copy of Jixxa -- it would not be fair to
either the user or Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. to have a user
evaluate an incomplete package.
INSTALLING JIXXA
----------------
From Program Manager's main window, select "File". This will cause a menu
to drop down. Next, select "Run...". A dialog box will pop up requesting
a "Command Line".
If the Jixxa files are on a floppy disk, insert the diskette into the A:
or B: drive, as appropriate and type either "A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP",
respectively. We must execute the "SETUP" program located on the disk.
If the Jixxa files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter the full
drive and directory path to where the Jixxa files are located, such as:
"C:\DOWNLOAD\TEMP\SETUP". Please note that these are just samples --
subsititue the proper drive and directory, as appropriate.
After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the ENTER key or click
on the "OK" button. At this point SETUP will handle the entire process of
installing the Jixxa files.
PLAYING BACKGROUND MUSIC
------------------------
Jixxa now sports a brand new feature -- the ability to play background
music while playing Jixxa! Jixxa can optionally play MIDI song files
as background if you so desire. From the "Options" menu you can turn
the music feature on and off.
Make sure to select the "Choose Music" option to select the directory
where your MIDI music files are located.
When using this feature, Jixxa will rotate through all of the .MID files
in the chosen directory. Jixxa "remembers" the last file it played and
starts at the next "new" music file the next time you play Jixxa, so that
you don't always hear the same songs played.
You must have a sound card capable of playing MIDI music songs, such as
a SoundBlaster or AdLib card.
We hope you enjoy Jixxa!
Please call, fax, or write for more information on our Jixxa product line
as we're always making new sets of puzzles for Jixxa!
