===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Jixxa README.TXT
----------------
Hello and welcome to the Jixxa software package from Rhode Island
Soft Systems, Inc.! This package contains Jixxa, the premier Jigsaw
Puzzle game for Windows 3.1, plus 2 fun jigsaw puzzles to get you
going. This package contains an automated installation utility, and
interactive on-line help. It should be noted that registered users
of Jixxa receive the full retail version of Jixxa which contains
everything in this shareware version PLUS several new game features,
and a dozen more jigsaw puzzles!
The Jixxa puzzles in this package are intended for 256 color displays,
so if you only have a 16 color display, you will not see the full
beauty of the images. Of course, the game will still work, but not in
the intended manner. You can verify your color setting in the
"Help... About..." box.
The 2 puzzles in this package are made with "Large" and "Small" pieces.
The registered version ships with additional, different piece sizes as
well ("Medium" and "Tiny"), for more variety.
The following information will guide you through installing the
Jixxa files. Once installed, the SETUP program will create a program
group and install icons for the documentation files, which you can
read by clicking on the document's icon.
VERIFICATION OF FILES
---------------------
At this point, please look for all of the files that belong to the
Jixxa package. All of the files are listed in the file
VENDINFO.DIZ. If the VENDINFO.DIZ file or any of the files listed in
VENDINFO.DIZ are missing, please contact us for an official copy of
Jixxa -- it would not be fair to either the user or Rhode Island
Soft Systems, Inc. to have a user evaluate an incomplete
package.
INSTALLING JIXXA
----------------
From Program Manager's main window, select "File". This will cause a
menu to drop down. Next, select "Run...". A dialog box will pop up
requesting a "Command Line". If the Jixxa files are on a floppy
disk, insert the diskette into the A: or B: drive, as appropriate
and type either "A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP", respectively. We must
execute the "SETUP" program located on the disk.
If the Jixxa files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter the
full drive and directory path to where the Jixxa files are located,
such as: "C:\DOWNLOAD\TEMP\SETUP". Please note that these are
just samples -- subsititue the proper drive and directory, as
appropriate.
After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the ENTER key or
click on the "OK" button. At this point SETUP will handle the entire
process of installing the Jixxa files.
PLAYING BACKGROUND MUSIC
------------------------
Jixxa now sports a brand new feature -- the ability to play background
music while playing Jixxa! Jixxa can optionally play MIDI song
files as background if you so desire. From the "Options" menu you
can turn the music feature on and off.
Make sure to select the "Choose Music" option to select the
directory where your MIDI music files are located.
When using this feature, Jixxa will rotate through all of the .MID
files in the chosen directory. Jixxa "remembers" the last file it
played and starts at the next "new" music file the next time you play
Jixxa, so that you don't always hear the same songs played.
You must have a sound card capable of playing MIDI music songs,
such as a SoundBlaster or AdLib card.
We hope you enjoy Jixxa!
Please call, fax, or write for more information on our Jixxa product
line as we're always making new sets of puzzles for Jixxa!
