JUMBLE:
The Jumble word game is very simple.  The player is presented with a word whose letters
are "jumbled" up.  The object of the game is to "simply" correctly unscramble the
letters to obtain the original word.

For example, the player might be presented with the followed jumbled text:

tca

A good guess might be the word "cat"... and you'd be correct!  Here's another word:

lefi

Give up?... the word is "life".  Be careful, there are combinations of letters that do spell more
than one legitimate word, but only one of those words is valid when the scrambled letters are
presented.  For example, the following letters:

alpm

could represent the word "palm" or the word "lamp".  While they are each legitimate words,
only one of the words would be found to be correct by the game at that instant.

PLAYING THE GAME:
Simply use the mouse to select "Word" under the Game menu item.  A scrambled up set of
letters will be presented in a dialog box.  You may then enter your guess into the edit box 
presented and then either hit the OK button or press Enter at your keyboard.  If you give up...
then click on the "Give Up" box (click OK or press Enter)... the unscambled word will then be
displayed to you (no cheating allowed). 

To select a new word or if you do not wish to guess, then click on the Cancel button. 
To exit from the game, select Exit from the Game menu item.

INSTALLING THE GAME:
The zip file should contain the following files:

jumble.exe	This is the JUMBLE game executable
dict		Contains the list of words from which JUMBLE selects words to be scrambled
bc40rtl.dll		Required dynamic link libs		
bwcc.dll
jumble.txt		This text

The two dll files (bc40rtl and bwcc) should be copied to the windows\system directory.
The JUMBLE executable (jumble.exe) and the word list (dict) should be copied to any directory
of your choice (but both should be in the same directory).  To play the game, simply 
double-click on the jumble.exe file... or drag & drop the executable into the program group of 
your choice. 

That's it!!

Enjoy.... this is freeware, have FUN!

Note: Beware!  The number of possible guesses grows factorially with the number of letters
in the word.  This means that while a 3 letter word has only 6 possible combinations (3x2x1=6):

Example:
cta
cat
tac
tca
atc
act

A four letter word has 24 possible combinations... a 5 letter word has 120 combinations, and a
6 letter word has 720 combinations!   So, I'm sure you want to know how many combinations
for a 10 letter word, such as "government" ..... 3,628,800!!!  Assuming each guess takes about
5 secs, this would represent around 1 year and 8 months working at it for 8 hours/day!

So, just wild guesses could take a rather long time!!

Error Log:
Vers. 1.5 corrected/changed the following from version 1.0:
a. Made call to BWCCRegister() for Borland controls
b. Automatically selected a new word if a correct word was inserted.
c. Kept a count of the number of guesses.
