1. Go-Moku 2.0 Package
----------------------
Full package must include following files:
GOMOKU.EXE - Program itself
GOMOKU.HLP - Windows Help File
GOMOKU.USR - User Registration File
For more info see below
GOMOKU.REG - Registration form
GOMOKU.TXT - This file

VBRUN300.DLL - Visual Basic run-time library
This file is placed on public
domain, so you can download it
from most ftp archives
THREED.VBX - Custom control file
Please, ensure that you have the full package of required files. If you
don't, please contact the author at the address given at the end of this
document.
2. Go-Moku 2.0 Installation
---------------------------
Place all the required files (that are listed above) in one directory,
say, C:\GAMES\GOMOKU. From your Windows Program Manager select New
option from pool-down menu. Enter all information (path) or use Browse
button.
Note:
This game requires file VBRUN300.DLL and will not work without it. This
file is of size 398 Kb, and so not included with this package.
VBRUN300.DLL is placed on public domain so you may download it from,
say, ftp.cica.indiana.edu (MS Windows archive). Alternatively, you may
contact the author (refer to section 6 on my address or E-mail) and
request this file to be delivered to you via some ways suitable to you.
Also, file GOMOKU.ZIP containing VBRUN300.DLL is placed on the following
ftp-anonymous site and may be downloaded from there:
Where -------> Melbourne, Australia
Site --------> brain.physics.swin.oz.au
IP Number ---> 136.186.27.10
How ---------> via anonymous ftp login
Directory ---> /pub/kig/gomoku/gomoku2i.zip
The gomoku-package on this site is an installation pack. You only need
to run SETUP.EXE, and follow all prompts. The rest is done automatically.
Letter "i" in gomoku2i.zip stands for "installation". The above directory
will also contain gomoku2.zip, which consists of compressed files listed
in section 1 excluding, however, VBRUN300.DLL. The directory listing is
presented below:
gomoku2 zip 67,216 04-09-94 8:17p
gomoku2i zip 366,037 04-09-94 8:22p
Please note, that this site will always contain the LATEST unregistered
version of the game.
3. User Registration file GOMOKU.USR
------------------------------------
Go-Moku is marketed under Shareware Concept (for more details see
corresponding section in Help File). No copy protection is made
whatsoever. However, one action taken to preserve priority of registered
users - is encrypted name and registration number contained in the file
GOMOKU.USR. When you start Go-Moku, the program reads user information
data from this encrypted file.
Any attempt to edit/change/delete/rename this file will surely result in
a message "User Registration File is corrupt" and inability to start
Go-Moku.
You may see this message if your DIRECTORY settings in Progam Manager is
incorrectly set. Go-Moku will try to find GOMOKU.USR file and will fail.
If you'll see "File not found" message, please check the directory set-
ting in your Windows Program Manager.
If something happens to this file and Go-Moku does not start, then
registered users are advised to reinstall Go-Moku from disk;
unregistered users may request either registered (with appropriate fee
included) or trial copy of the game by writing to the author at the
address given below.
4. Distribution
---------------
You are encouraged to distribute this program for non-commercial use if
distribution is intact, unmodified, en masse, and as long as no fee is
charged for such distribution. If at all possible, please distribute the
original ZIP file, which should include files listed above.
