^C{A Game for DOS and Windows}
^CWindows Version by Lynda Fowler
^CDOS Version by Johnny Harris, Mike Maynard 
^Cand Jim Rowe

We are testing out a new idea and we would like your input. With this version of Circuitry we are publishing both a DOS and a Windows version in one program.  This means that if you run Circuitry from the DOS prompt, you will see the DOS version, but if you run it from within Windows, you will see the Windows version.  We would like to hear what you think about this, so let us know.  The DOS version we have included is essentially identical to the version we published on a previous issue of On Disk Monthly.  There have been a few minor bug fixes in this version, so you might want to update your library with the new DOS version.

^CWindows Installation
^C--------------------

The instructions which follow assume that you are running Windows from the Program Manager. They also assume that you have copied Circuitry onto drive "C:". If you copied it onto another drive (i.e., "D:"), make the appropriate adjustments in the installation instructions. NOTE: If you have a shell which runs on top of Windows (i.e. PubTech), you may not need to follow the instructions below or you may need to consult the manuals that came with your shell program. If you need assistance, you may contact Softdisk Publishing Technical Support at 1-800-831-2694.

Once the ODM Shell program has created a new directory on your hard drive and copied all of the files into that directory, you will still need to run Windows and create a program item in order to get an icon for Circuitry. Follow these steps:

1)  Start Windows by typing "WIN" at the DOS prompt 
    (for example, C:\WIN, then press Enter).

2)  Once Windows is running, go to the Program Manager
    Window.

3)  If you have a Games Program Group, open it and skip
    to step 6.

4)  If you do not have a Games Program Group, select
    New from the File Menu. When the dialog box comes
    up, select Program Group and click on the OK
    button (or press the ENTER key). 

5)  Type "Games" in the Description field and click OK.
    You will now have a new window inside the Program 
    Manager Window, and it will be titled "Games." 

6)  Select New from the File Menu again. This time,
    when the dialog box comes up, select Program
    Item and click OK.

7)  Type "Circuitry" in the Description field; tab to
    the Command Line field and type:
    "c:\ODM085\circuit.exe";
    then tab to the Working Directory field and type:
    "c:\ODM085". Click OK.

NOTE: If you put Circuitry into a different directory, 
    you need to replace "c:\ODM085" in step 7 with the 
    appropriate directory name. For example, if the new 
    directory is actually "wincirc", you would type 
    "c:\wincirc\circuit.exe" in the Command Line field 
    and "c:\wincirc" in the Working Directory field. 

Once you have created the Program Item, the Circuitry icon should appear in the "Games" Window. Now you can run Circuitry by double clicking the mouse on the icon.
