'Hounds & Jackals' v1.0s (SH&J.EXE) is a Windows shareware version of the
ancient Egyptian game of 'Hounds & Jackals' -- A game of the Pharaohs.
Requires VBRUN300.DLL to play.  A popular game of ancient Egypt, played
by millions from 2100 BC to 400 AD, is still fun and enjoyable today.  
Historically accurate, full of stunning graphics, brimming with 
Egyptian lore and history, lots of great game sounds, an original MIDI score; 
all this combined in an easy to learn and play format.  It's fun,
it's educational, it's exciting -- The only
remaining question: Will you have the courage to face the 'glitter in the
dunes' and the sinister power of an ancient and evil gift from a Nubian
sorcerer to the Pharaoh?

I have a 'slick' install program that takes care of everything having
to do with installation, but for file exchanges across BBSs 
it takes up too much room -- adding almost 300K to the files.  
So . . . to install 'Hounds & Jackals', please do the following:

1. Check that VBRUN300.DLL is in your Windows System directory.  If not,
   please download a copy (there should be a copy on the BBS from which
   you downloaded H&J.ZIP).

2. Create a directory SH&J.

3. Copy all the files 'unzipped' from H&J.ZIP 
   to this new 'Hounds & Jackals' directory.

4. Create a program manager icon for SH&J.EXE by adding it as a file
   in your GAMES program manager group.

That's it.

Thanks for using 'Hounds & Jackals'.  I hope it's challenging, fun, and 
educational at the same time!
