EGA BACKGAMMON
This document is not intended as an instruction booklet on the
game of backgammon. There are many good backgammon books available
at any local bookstore. If you have at least a basic knowlodge of the
game you should have no problem with this version.
To play this version will require that you have either a EGA or VGA
graphics card and a microsoft compatible mouse.

by clicking in the menu box. (NOTE: Until you register you will be able
to change colors but not save your changes).
You can now save your default values for , # of players, level, sound,
and help. These now init. to sound off, help off, level 1, 2 players.
(NOTE: Until you register you will be able to change these defaults
but not save your changes).
Level 3 added. If you have been winning all the time in level 2 give
Level 3 a try. ( Remember a lot depends on the throw of the dice. No matter
how good you are, if you don't get the throws you don't win)
You can now move 2 men at a time when you throw doubles. Use the RIGHT
MOUSE BUTTON instead of the LEFT.
Few minor bugs fixed.
When you first run the program CLICK LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on the
INFO block, this will provide you with all the information you will need
to play the game. Below is a reproduction of the INFO screen. GOOD LUCK.

You will not be allowed to PASS if you still have a play.

A BOX in the upper left corner will be displayed with both yours,
and the other players count.
SOUND : If this is in WHITE sound is ON, BLUE sound is OFF.
HELP : If this command is in WHITE then markers are displayed when you
select a man to move. ie; if the dice rolled a 6 and a 2

For those of us who have trouble counting.
