GIN RUMMY CHALLENGE
VERSION 4.5
May 1990
Copyright 1990 by Jim Cody
(CIS ID: 72276,1366)
RUMMY (Rummy.Exe) runs on color, black & white, or monochrome video displays
in DOS modes CO80, BW80, and MONO. Of course, color is the preferred mode
of operation. From the DOS command prompt or from a batch file, you should
start RUMMY with command syntax appropriate for your video capabilities.
Color: Black & White: Monochrome:
[MODE CO80] [MODE BW80] [MODE MONO]
RUMMY RUMMY RUMMY
A Hayes-compatible modem is required for modem-to-modem play. All of the
instructions and help you will need are contained within the program. The
simplest way to play the game is to use a MOUSE or the Enter and Right-Arrow
keys to signal all of your Gin Rummy decisions.
Also, be sure to read the help screens, which are available whenever the
message "Press <F1> For Help" appears.
A sample game save/resume file (RUMMY.GS4) has been included. Simply delete
this file in order to start your own game save/resume file. If you have a
save/resume file (RUMMY.GS3) from a previous version of RUMMY, you must
rename it as RUMMY.GS4 in order to use it with V4.5.
Version 4.5 Change Summary:
* Added modem-to-modem playing facility and help subsystem.
* Made improvements to the automatic card-arrangement capability.
* Eliminated the /D run command option (found in previous versions).
* Made minor changes to the computer's playing strategy, slightly
elevating the ability of player "ME".
