FIVE HUNDRED card game for WINDOWS
release 2.3 - 1997
created by G.M.McKAY
INSTALLATION:
500WIN is distributed in a form which makes installation easy for you.
Like all Windows programs, its installation is more complex than DOS
programs, but the SETUP.EXE utility takes care of all this for you. This
way, it can ensure that you have the correct Windows System files that it
needs to run properly, without you having to do any work.
After installation, you should have these files in the \500WIN
directory -
500WIN.EXE - base program
500WIN.TXT - this information
REGO.FRM - user registration form
SCORES.500 - game scores and set-up info
*.WAV - 27 sound files.
In addition, it will make sure that you have VBRUN300.DLL and other
Windows files in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
If you received this software from a Bulletin Board, it will be
compressed into the one file, eg 500WIN22.ZIP. Before running the
installation program you will need to decompress it. Create a temporary
directory, eg C:\500TEMP, and decompress all the files into it. The
software is now ready to install, as if you had bought it on a floppy disk.
Now start Windows, and run the SETUP.EXE program. The easiest way of
doing this is choose "RUN" from Windows File menu (type Alt F R ), and
type in the drive, directory, and SETUP.EXE name. Alternatively, you can
run it from the File Manager.
The installation program prompts you to enter the directory name in
which to store the files. The installation program does NOT interfere with
any of your standard set-up eg, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, *.INI, path. It
places the icon to start the 500WIN game in a group called "500 for
Windows" that it creates in the Program Manager. If you want, you can
easily move this icon to a different group (by the usual method of dragging
and dropping).
If you created a temporary directory, eg C:\500TEMP, you can now
remove it.
The total space that this program takes up on disk is about 980
Kbytes.
If you run 500WIN and find that it does not fill the whole screen, the
answer is probably the screen resolution that you have chosen for Windows.
You can change this via the Windows set-up in the Program Manager's "Main
Group". It works best with a standard 640 x 480 resolution.
VERSION 2.3:
This version has a number of bug fixes and improvements, including
displaying everybody's cards when reviewing the cards at the end of a hand.
It is based on the FIVE HUNDRED CARD GAME v6.2, which runs through DOS, but
500WIN has a number of improvements in both appearance and features.
