Chinese Solitaire for Windows ----------------------------- Description: This is a brand new game combining the best elements of Klondike (one of the world's most popular solitaires) and Scorpion (a game that offers tremendous opportunity for skillful play), with a distinctly Oriental flair. Chinese Solitaire is feature-packed, with full statistics, optional "easy" mode, autoplay, selectable card backs and colors, great graphics, and excellent sound. Requirements: Chinese Solitaire requires Windows 3.1 or later and a mouse. The game will run from a floppy disk, but a hard drive is recommended. If you want to hear the sound effects and background music, you'll need a sound card. Chinese Solitaire requires VBRUN200.DLL, which may or may not be distributed with the program. If not, it is available from most BBS's, CD-ROMs, and FTP sites, as well as from Microsoft, and from the author's web page at "http://www.sky.net/~rrasa/sw.html". Installation: Extract the program files from the distribution archive and put them into a temporary directory on your hard disk. If you wish to use the automated installation utility (recommended), run SETUP.EXE, either from the Program Manager "File/Run" menu (in Windows 3.x), the Start button's "Run" command (in Windows 95), or from the Win95 command line. The setup program will prompt you to select a destination directory, then copy the files and add a Chinese Solitaire group to Program Manager or the Start button. If you wish to install the program manually, simply create a directory for the program (C:\CHINASOL is suggested) and copy the programs into that directory. Add CHINASOL.EXE into Program Manager or the Win95 Start button, or run it directly from File Manager or the Win95 Explorer. If you decide to delete Chinese Solitaire, you may remove it from your computer by simply erasing the files from it's directory, and removing its group from the Program Manager or Start button. Getting Started: The help file (CHINASOL.HLP) contains the primary documentation for the program, including rules of the game, background information, information on the various options and features, a revision history, and instructions for registering the game.
