GIN RUMMY CHALLENGE
VERSION 4.8
July 1990
Copyright 1990 by Jim Cody
(CIS ID: 72276,1366)
John Scarne's "Encyclopedia Of Card Games" (Harper & Row) recognizes Gin
Rummy as America's most popular two-handed card game.
Gin Rummy Challenge (RUMMY) is a dynamic and elegant way to play Gin Rummy
against a resident expert, your computer, or against another human player
via modem-to-modem communications between two computers.
RUMMY runs on color (CGA/EGA/VGA), black-&-white, or monochrome video
displays in DOS modes CO40/80, BW40/80, and MONO. Of course, color is the
preferred mode of operation. From the DOS command prompt or from a batch
file, you should start RUMMY with command syntax appropriate for your video
capabilities.
Color: Black-&-White: Monochrome:
[MODE {CO40|CO80}] [MODE {BW40|BW80}] [MODE MONO]

A Hayes-compatible modem is required for modem-to-modem play. All of the
instructions and help you will need are contained within the program. The
simplest way to play the game is to use a MOUSE or the Enter and Right-Arrow
keys to signal all of your Gin Rummy decisions.
Also, be sure to read the help screens, which are available whenever the
message "Press <F1> For Help" appears.
A sample game save/resume file (RUMMY.GS4) has been included. Simply delete
this file in order to start your own game save/resume file. If you have a
save/resume file (RUMMY.GS3) from a previous version of RUMMY, you must
rename it as RUMMY.GS4 in order to use it with V4.8.
Version 4.8 Change Summary:
* Fixed display location of "Discards Reshuffled" message in ZOOM mode.
* Included dealing of hands as a function in ZOOM mode.
* Added adjustment to mouse sensitivity when ZOOM mode is set/reset.
