Welcome to 4 Corners, an addictive Solitaire game in a compact layout.

4 Corners is distributed as ShareWare.  That means you get to try it BEFORE you buy it.  And if you don't like it, you don't have to pay for it.  But we think you'll enjoy it, and we've made the "bite" real easy -- just $5.00 (plus state and local tax for Washington residents).  We think you'll agree that it's well worth the price!

To install 4 Corners, just run the SETUP.EXE program from this directory using any of the standard Windows methods (the Run... command from the Program Manager's File menu or from the File Manager's File menu, or double-click from the File Manager, etc.)

The SETUP program will create a directory on your disk to hold the necessary files.  (Certain common files will also be placed in your Windows directories if they aren't there already.)  SETUP will then create the necessary Program Manager group and item icons.  Once SETUP has completed, just click on the 3 Shuffles and a Draw icon and you're off and running.

NOTE: one required file which is ONLY included on the diskette is VBRUN300.DLL, usually found in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  You probably already have a copy of this file, but if you don't, you can download one from CompuServe, America Online, or almost any other bulletin board.

The following files are used during the setup process:

4CORNERS EX_        Compressed EXE
4CORNERS HL_        Compressed HLP
4CORNERS LOG        Version notes
CMDIALOG VB_        Compressed VBX
COMMDLG  DL_        Compressed DLL
DDEML    DL_        Compressed DLL
MMSYSTEM DL_        Compressed DLL
QCARD    DL_        Compressed DLL
README   TXT        This file
SETUP    EXE        Setup program
SETUP    LST        Used by setup
SETUP1   EX_        Compressed EXE
SETUPKIT DL_        Compressed DLL
SHUFFLE  WA_        Compressed WAV
TADA     WA_        Compressed WAV
THREED   VB_        Compressed VBX
VBRUN300 DL_        Compressed DLL -- diskette only
VER      DL_        Compressed DLL

Once the setup is complete, you can delete the above files if you wish.  The expanded versions of the required files will already be in place.  (Make sure you keep the original diskette or ZIP file in a safe place, however, in case you ever need to re-install.)

IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS DURING THE SETUP:

Most of the time, problems which occur during the setup happen when the Setup program tries to copy one of the "DLLs" listed above which is already in use on your system.  If that happens, you can frequently clear up the problem by re-starting Windows and then trying the Setup again IMMEDIATELY after Windows comes up.  This usually prevents the problem DLL from being loaded by another program.  (If the problem persists, it might be caused by one of the programs in your start-up group; in that event, you might have to temporarily prevent them from being automatically started.)
