Installing Picture Puzzler:  To install to your system, 
go to the Run command in Windows.  In Windows 95 this
is on the Start Menu (click Start button, then click 
Run) and in Windows 3.1x choose the Run option (Files 
Menu) from the Program Manager.  Then type in the path 
where you inserted the distriubtion disk and then 
setup.exe (Ex: a:setup.exe) and press Enter.  Follow 
the on screen instructions.

-----------
QuickStart 
-----------
Playing Picture Puzzler is very easy.  Start the Puzzler
Program, ppuz.exe.  The steps then are:

 1.  Load an Image by choosing Open New Image 
     from the File Menu
 2.  Choose Scramble Puzzle from Puzzle Action Menu
 3.  Choose Puzzle Type (level of difficulty)
 4.  Solve Puzzle by dragging and dropping puzzle pieces.

We've included some sample .bmp bitmap images for your 
use.  You may use any bitmap image in Picture Puzzler.
In addition to the bitmap images, there are three wave 
files (yes.wav, no.wav and win.wav) that are used by 
Picture Puzzler.  If you wish to have sound when playing 
Picture Puzzler, be sure to keep these wave files in the
Puzzler application directory.

For detailed information on all features, view the 
Picture Puzzler help file accessible from the Help Menu.

-----------------------------
Shareware Version Differences
-----------------------------
Picture Puzzler is not Freeware, but Shareware.  That
means you may evaluate this program for 30 days.  The
only differences between this version and the registered
version are:

  1.  The shareware notification window does not appear
      in the registered version.
  2.  The puzzle save and load saved options are
      disabled in the shareware version.
  3.  The create custom puzzle is disabled in the share-
      ware version.

If you choose to continue using this program then you must
order the registered version for $15.00.  See ordering 
information from the Help menu for more details.

====================
UPDATE:  May 6, 1998
====================
There is one change and two added features in this 
version of Picture Puzzler.  Version 3.2 now
supports many different image formats including BMP,
PCX, GIF, JPG, TGA, TIFF, and others.  

Also in the registered version you may save an 
uncompleted puzzle to disk.  The save option is in 
the file menu and is saved with a .PUZ extension.

Also, you now may associate a music midi file with
Picture Puzzler.  We've included a sample file, HOT.MID,
for you.  You can change the default on this from the
options menu.
