These are some introductory notes for Illusions.


Overview

This game requires Windows and an unzipping utility. Depending on your
computer's configuration you may need 8 megabytes of RAM.

This is a sliding tile puzzle. These kinds of puzzles are about 100 years 
old. Almost everyone has seen or played with one.

A square is divided into a grid. Each section of the grid contains a tile 
which makes up part of a picture chosen by you from those available. 
(Three with the sampler. 22 plus whatever you create with the registered 
version.) After you study the picture the computer scrambles the tiles. 
The computer also removes one of the tiles. The scrambling and removed 
tile are different each time. 

Your job is to move the tiles around, by clicking on them, until you have 
recreated the picture, when you will be rewarded by a tune. Wonderful. 


INSTALLATION

1. In order to install this program, open the File menu from Program Manager.
and Select Run. If the files are on a floppy, type the letter
of the drive that the floppy is in, a colon, and the word "setup", and 
press Enter. If the files are on a hard disk directory, type the path, 
a backslash and the word "setup" and press Enter.  

2. If you are having trouble installing the program, it may be because you
are already running or have recently run a program written in a programming
language that uses special drivers and dynamic link libraries. This is 
definitely so if the initial part of the  setup program  it tells you that
it can't load a file with ".dll" or a ".vbx" extension. This is a design
flaw from Microsoft. To get around this flaw, exit Windows, restart Windows,
and install this program before running any others.

3. There are some problems with the Microsoft setup program that came with 
Visual Basic 2.0. If the setup program will not load everything here is the
list of what goes where:

	into you Windows System directory:

		setupkit.dll    ver.dl_
 		threeD.vbx      vbrun200.dll
   
	into the Windows directory:
		
		ilusion.hlp

	into the Smiles directory:

		ilusion.exe   install.txt      
		file_id.diz

SHAREWARE

This program is not free. It is Shareware. This means that you may try it 
out before you decide whether or not to buy it. After you have tried it 
out, if you intend to keep using it you must register it by sending 
$12.00 plus $1.50 for postage and handling to

		         Cragmont Services Ltd.
		         1171 Cragmont Ave.
		         Berkeley, CA  94708

When you register you will receive a version of  Illusions which has 22 
pictures of impossible objects, and which will lets you make a puzzle out 
of any picture you create and out of any picture or photo you can convert 
to a bitmap format. You will also receive  another game which you have 
not played before, and with which you can waste time, and a sampler for 
yet a third  game.

You may give the program to as many people as you wish. When you do so, 
you must transfer all the files on the disk or in the .ZIP file. Each 
user must send in the registration fee unless they are members of the same 
household.

I receive no other income from my programming. Equipment costs, supplies, 
mailings and BBS upload time are all paid out of my pocket. Therefore, if 
you use and enjoy the program, please send the registration fee.
