                                  Read Me First !
                                  ===============
        
        Print this document out.  In Windows, you can run the program,
        Notepad, to open this file and print it out.  Or at the DOS
        prompt, you can type:  COPY  CREATE.TXT  PRN  and press ENTER.
        
        
                      Cutting Instructions For The Pieces
                      ===================================
        
        1. Buy a set of Red/Blue/Poker Chips -- one box will make 2
           complete sets of Chinese Chess, so you would want to print
           out two sets of boards too. Use Red and White Chips for one
           set; and Blue and White Chips for the other set. Do only one
           set at a time to avoid confusion.
        
        2. Buy a box of Avery Laser Labels, size 5160, which is 1"x2&5/8"
           in a 3 labels per row format.
        
        3. Install the Paint Shop Pro software--if you are using a newer
           version, I recommend printing with the older version.  The
           game board/pieces were tested on both a HP LaserJet IIP and a
           HP Deskjet 560C.  Hopefully, because it is a Windows based
           program, nearly any printer (excepting daisy wheel printers)
           should work.  To install, follow these instructions:
        
                A.  Get at the MS-DOS prompt (either under or out of
                    Windows.
        
                B.  Make a new directory, type:
                    C:
                    MD  \PSP102
                    CD  \PSP102
                    MD  TEMP
                    CD  TEMP
        
                C.  While still at the DOS prompt with the current
                    directory, C:\PSP102\TEMP\, wherever you have
                    the self-extracting EXE file, PSP102.EXE, type
                    in that path in place of the string "A:\" in the
                    example that follows below:
        
                    A:\PSP102.EXE
        
                D.  Get into (or back into) Windows and at the
                    Program Manager Window, Click on "file" then
                    "new" then "item" and type in the command line:
        
                                C:\PSP102\TEMP\SETUP.EXE
        
                    then click OK.  The program will be installed for
                    you and an icon will be made for you.  Click on that
                    icon now (after the install).
        
                    (Later, if you want, you can delete the directory
                    and the files in C:\PSP102\TEMP\; if you do not
                    know how to do that, then just ignore this step.)
        
           Note: if you have problems installing PSP102, then refer to
           the file, README.PSP.
        
        4. Don't put the labels in the printer yet; first use 3 sheets of
           white paper. Open up the file, SET_MAP.PCX, and print out
           that file on plain paper. It provides a visual reference
           guide to help follow these instructions.  Then open the files,
           WXIAN_A.PCX and WXIAN_T.PCX and print them out for visual
           help on the board piece-setup phase (at the end, when you are
           actually ready to play).
        
        5. Note: practice this step first with plain, cheap paper if you
           do not have a HP Laserjet IIp. On my HP Deskjet 560C, the
           pieces were slightly too small "as is" for the same Avery
           labels that worked on my HP Laserjet IIp. I had to use the
           Paint Shop Pro (the shareware that is included) command,
           resize, to make the pieces large enough to fit evenly within
           each "label row." As you practice with plain paper, put the
           printed out pieces against a very bright light against a
           plain Avery label sheet to see if they will line up right.
        
           Now insert the Avery labels (two sheets) in the printer.
           Open up the two files, CHI_SET.PCX and PIC_SET.PCX, and
           print them out--you'll end up using two sheets of labels, one
           for each file--alltogether this makes one Chinese/Korean
           Chess Set (Westernized Side labels on one side of the poker
           chips; Chinese Side labels on the other side).
           Cut around the circles.
        
        6. Place the "Chinese Side" labels on the center part of the
           poker chips; the black pieces have a black background. Refer
           to the above drawing to remind you what piece is what. If a
           black and white piece are identically drawn except for the
           colors, they are not shown in both colored depictions above.
           Place the "Westernized Side" labels on the center part of the
           other side of the poker chips--make sure that both sides
           maintain the same color and piece though. For the White
           "Westernized Side" labels, the color Grey is used. It is
           obvious which "Chinese Side" pieces are white and Grey was
           not needed--remember a Black background for both
           "Westernized" and "Chinese" sides means the piece is a black
           piece.
        
        
                        Cutting Instructions For The Board
                        ==================================
        
        1. Follow the above instructions first--then the software will be
           installed. Run the program, Paint Shop Pro (see above for
           help).
        
        2. Insert plain paper in the printer--you'll need four sheets of
           paper and Scotch brand magic tape (my favorite).
        
        3. Open, one at a time (before opening another file, you'll print
           out the open file first), the four files:
        
           CCBD_BLH.PCX, CCBD_BRH.PCX, CCBD_TLH.PCX, CCBD_TRH.PCX.
        
           The files have wording in one of the 4 corners:
        
                Bottom Right Hand - Lay this on the floor or table.
        
                Bottom Left Hand -  Cut the right edge (right up to the
                                    black line) of the paper off and lay
                                    on top and to the left-side along
                                    the Bottom Right Hand.
        
                Top Left Hand -     Cut the bottom edge (right up to the
                                    black polka dots) and lay on top and
                                    onto the top side of the Bottom Left
                                    Hand sheet, lining up the polka dots.
        
                Top Right Hand -    Cut the bottom edge (right up to the
                                    black polka dots) and cut the left
                                    hand edge (right up to the black
                                    line) and lay on top and onto the
                                    right edge of the Top Left Hand
                                    sheet and also onto the top side of
                                    the Bottom Right Hand sheet, lining
                                    up the polka dots.
        
           Now tape the four sheets together on the top and bottom side.
           If you want a permanent board, put the board between two
           sheets of plastic glass that you can get at the lumber store
           or just tape the top side to the bottom side of one sheet of
           plastic glass and protect the bottom with 2" wide tape.
