POKER3 Updates:

**** As of 1/26/96, if you are getting an update, and you don't have the
     Setup Program (PokerS.Exe), then you should download Poker3.Zip, put it
     in a temporary directory, and then unzip it.  Next, copy the .exe files
     into your poker directory.  Finally, copy the grid.vbx file into your
     Windows directory.

12/04/95  In Pokerw.ini, you can use the IP address of the server in place
          of the server name. The program displays p top and p rank messages
          correctly

12/07/95  Improve Table Talk display by making lines wrap (no wrap if fixed
          spacing is used. Reduce people's bankroll when they bet.

12/08/95  Display pot odds.  Button is in a new color.  Nickname lookup is
          case-insensitive.

12/12/95  1) Interperet ACTION command properly.  Still need to know how the
             user should give the action command and what actually needs to 
             be sent out. 
          2) Design feature lets you change the size of the players, setting
             up how large each area  should be.
          3) Improved use of colors to tell who is still in the hand: 
             Yellow = still in the hand 
             Blue   = person whos turn it is to act  
             White  = folded

01/04/96 1) Save screen position of board/control/table talk windows on exit
         2) Button Bar allows twelve user-defined commands (36 if you
            count the 3 different sets that can be loaded).  Use ^bbx to
            select button bar set number x.		
         3) <obs> variable defined for use with Observer
         4) (updated pokerw.ini -- easiest to merge your starting lines into
            this new one)

01/14/96 When you do /list, you get a nice list box showing the current games
         This works in either the Terminal screen or in Game mode.

01/17/96 1) Review button lets you view prior games
         2) Game Mode IFC bug fixed, better error tracking,

01/26/96 1) New Setup Program created for editing the .INI file.  Download
            Poker3.Zip to get it and the latest version of Poker3.Exe
         2) You can double click on a game in the list box to join that
            game's channel.
         3) A new variable called <whois> is added to the variable section
            of pokerw.ini
         4) Entering "^Connect" simulates clicking on the Connect button. 
            This, along with the Automatic Script entry in the .ini file
            (line 9 or use the Setup program), allows for automatic logging
            on to the IRC server when the program is started.

            The first 3 lines of the script should be:
              ^Connect 
              /LOGIN <pw> <mynick> <whois>
              /list

             /7studHi = JOIN #7studHi   | <bot>:=SSBot | <chan>:=#7studHi  | <obs>:=observer | /STACK ON

          Serial routines removed to prevent possible modem problems

03/16/96  Up/Down arrows retrieve previously entered commands (V 4.10)

03/17/96  (V 4.12) Fix: <holec>, <pot>, and <poth> variables, click on 
          #holdempot in Game list box,  having a "<" in a table talk message.
          If game is full, Play button does not change to "Quit"
          ?? button (or ^defs or ^but) displays current button bar commands
             in the Table Talk window

          NOTE: Check your pokerw.ini file -- the end (button bar 3) should
          end with "endbb3", not "endbb1"

03/20/96  Option to highlight your cards in yellow to make it easier to see
          where you are on the board.

03/21/96  Use less windows resources (reduce out of memory errors 7 and 480)
          Also, change the Quit button so it uses the /Quit command in the
          .ini file.

          NOTE: you should change the /Quit line to read:
              /Quit    = PRIVMSG <chan>,<mynick> :p quit <$r>
          If you want to have your own message when you click the Quit
          button, take out the "<$r>" and put in your own text.
