Please see Hangman.inf for most complete information but this will get you started: HNGMNxxx.ZIP (xxx indicates the version number where 100 would indicate version 1.00, 110 would indicate version 1.10, etc.) should contain the following files: Install.exe Installation program Hangman.hlp Hangman on-line help program Hangman.inf Hangman help/information in view format. (double-click to read) Readme.txt This file SampWord.hng Hangman sample word list Hangfold.ico The hangman folder icon Hangman.exe The hangman main program. ===================================================================== Installation: 1. Go to the directory where you decompressed the Hangman package. 2. Type Install 3. Follow the directions on the screen. 4. You are done! Note: Hangman uses OS/2 REXX. REXX must be installed on your computer if you did not install it originally with OS/2. Refer to your OS/2 installation manual for instructions on installing REXX. Alternate Installation Method: Installation: ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Extract the archive (you probably already did that!) into a directory (c:\games\hangman is used in this text). To run the game, change to that directory (c:\games\hangman) and type Hangman To install the game onto the Presentation Manager Desktop: ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ After extracting the files into a directory (see above), go back to the Desktop and open the "OS/2 System" folder, then the "Templates" folder, then drag a program template to the desktop. The new template will then open its Settings. You can push the Find button and locate C:\GAMES\HANGMAN\HANGMAN.EXE Then page the notebook to the "General" page and modify the program name to Hangman You may now start the game by double-clicking on the Hangman icon on the desktop. Put the icon in a sub-folder if you wish. Personally, I have it in the "Games" folder. Users may also wish to set up an Association for .HNG word list files for use by Hangman. This is accomplished by the following steps: 1. Click with the second mouse button over your newly created Hangman icon. 2. Open the Settings. 3. Page to the "Associations" page. 4. In the lower-left section of the notebook page, enter *.HNG and press Add 5. Close Settings by double-clicking the System menu icon (upper-left corner of notebook) ===================================================================== Hangman is not Freeware.
