Win-Yacht is a yahtzee like dice game for windows version 3 or 3.1.
The program was written using visual basic professional development
kit. Instructions for playing the game are including in the on line
help facility. It is best to install the program using the setup
program provided. The downloaded package should include the following
files.
Winyz.exe: the executable program file
Winyz.hlp: online help file
Setupyz.exe: setup program
Threed.vbx: extensions to visual basic
Cmdialog.vbx: required to access windows help facility
Setupkit.dll: required by the setup program.
Readme.1st: this file
Vbrun200.dll: Visual Basic run time library may or may not
be included depending on where you got the program.
This file must be installed for Win-Yacht to run.
This file can be downloaded from the MSBASIC
forum on compuserve.
To install Win-Yacht using the installation program simply run
SETUPYZ.EXE from the program manager or file manager. The installation program
will install the files in the proper directories and create a group item and
program icon for Win-Yacht.
If you recieved the Win-Yacht package with vbrun200.dll and do not have the
library installed then you should run setupyz1.exe.
If you do not wish to use the installation program you can install
the program manually as follows.
Make a directory for the program files from DOS or the file manager.
For example, to install the program in a directory called WINYZ type
the following from the DOS prompt.
md WINYZ
copy winyz.exe \winyz\winyz.exe
copy winyz.hlp \winyz\winyz.hlp
Find out where in your system windows looks for the dynamic link libraries
(files with the dll extension). Using the file manager simply look in
the windows directory/subdirectories. If you have DOS 5 just type
from the root directory dir *.dll/s to find the proper directory.
Copy the following files to that directory. For example if the windows syzstem
files are located in the directory \windows\system type the following from DOS.
copy threed.vbx \windows\system\threed.vbx
copy cmdialog.vbx \windows\system\cmdialog.vbx
Install winyz.exe from the program manager like you would any other program.
or run directly if you wish.
Alternatively, you could copy the four files to a single directory.
