* 4 PLAY by Andy Smith *
* *
*****************************************************************************
4 Play is a Windows version of the classic Connect 4 (TM) game.
See on line help for details of how to play.
Installation instructions.
--------------------------
You should have the following files:
4PLAY.EXE (The windows executable)
4PLAY.HLP (The windows help file)
README.TXT (This file)
REGFORM.TXT (The registration form)
BWCC.DLL (The Borland Custom Control Library, used by 4PLAY)
1) Copy BWCC.DLL to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
Note. the above step is unnecessary if you already have a more recent copy
of BWCC.DLL in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, check first.
2) Copy all other files to a directory on your hard disk.
eg. \GAMES\WINGAMES\4PLAY
3) Run 4PLAY.EXE in the usual way.
*** New for version 1.2 ***
---------------------------
N.B. This is maintenance release, no major features have been added but
several important improvements/bug fixes have been made.
-> Computer now thinks faster (slightly!)
-> Game Over message no longer obscures the board.
-> Problems with resolutions that use a large system font fixed.
-> Now only lets you run one copy of 4PLAY at a time.
(There was a problem with running multiple copies before)
-> All known problems now fixed.
***************************
*** 4 Play is SHAREWARE ***
***************************
This means that you are free to distribute only unaltered and complete copies
of the program (i.e. ALL files MUST be included with any distribution of
4 Play).
You may use 4 Play free for up to 30 days. If you want to keep it
after 30 days you must register your copy. The easiest way to do this is by
printing out and filling in the Registration Form (see file REGFORM.TXT) and
sending it with a cheque for 5.00 pounds (or equivalent in your local
currency) to the address below.
NOTE. This copy of 4 PLAY is full and complete, unlike a lot of shareware
that is distributed with certain features disabled and/or annoying shareware
reminder screens. I have decided to distribute a 'clean' version because I
know how annoying reminder screens are. However this does mean that there is
little incentive to register, as you will not receive anything if you do so.
I am (foolishly) relying on peoples consciences!
Please try to make the effort to register. Doing so will encourage me improve
4 Play and to produce more quality Windows products (suggestions welcome!).
