The Craps Engine Beta Version 2.1

Thank you for trying The Craps Engine Beta Version 2.1!  If you are a serious 
Craps player, you should find this a valuable tool for trying out various 
betting schemes.  If you are a beginner, read the help file carefully - 
you may wish to put this program aside for a while until you understand 
the game of Craps a little better.

--------------------------------

System requirements:

   An IBM Compatible PC-386 or better(The faster the machine, the 
   faster the dice roll!)
   
   Microsoft Windows 3.1 or better (it might work with 3.0, 
   but I doubt it)

   A mouse

   A VGA or greater resolution monitor. Note: at VGA (640 X 480) 
   resolution, The program takes up the whole screen, but it 
   still works.

--------------------------------

The contents of this zip file should include:

CR_ENGIN.EXE   The program executable
CR_ENGIN.HLP   The associated help file
CRENGINE.INI   INI file keeps track of window placement
CRSERNUM.TXT   The serial number/registration number text file
CRREGFRM.TXT   A text copy of the registration form
BRKDOWN.WAV    The opening wav (sound) file
GUITBLUS.WAV   The closing wav (sound) file
CMDIALOG.VBX   
THREED.VBX     Visual Basic Control files (Should go in your 
               WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory or equivalent)
README.TXT     This file

(I don't think that the wav files will play without a sound card, 
but they are only a novelty anyway...)

You will also need a copy of VBRUN300.DLL, which should go in either your 
WINDOWS or WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. (File not included here; you may 
already have it, or it can be downloaded from most bulletin board systems 
for free.)

--------------------------------

If anything is missing, or if you have any problems installing, you 
should contact the program author for a valid copy.

     		amount In Hand after a rolling a seven

		making proper Don't Come wagers.  Fixed bug when exiting
		program while minimized.

		Buy and Lay bets can be made.  Different odds for each 
		type of line bet now permitted.  Lowered the number of 
		parameter entries for each type of bet to 20.  Sound

---------------------------------
Future revisions will (hopefully) include realtime graphs of pocket/bankroll, 
along with other statistics.

Enjoy! (I wanted to say "Happy crapping", but that's a little much...)
