OVERVIEW
________
Word Shuffle is a word game whereby the computer has scrambled the
letters of a word and you must unscramble it to make points. The
game is pretty straight forward and the package also contains a
program which add new puzzles to the database and as an event, will
create new puzzles and start a new game, as soon as a pre-determined
number of players have solved all the puzzles. This is done
automatically, all you must do is ensure that there are an adequate
suppply of puzzles in the database. The same program used in the event
process is the same one you will use to add words to the database.
NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
created in the directory you run the door from.
INSTALLATION

Installation is fairly easy and straight-forward. The following steps and
examples should have you up and running in a very short period of time.
