The author disclaims any and all warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchant- ability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liabilities for any damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of Crypto!. (For heaven's sake, it's only a game!) INSTALLING Crypto! ------------------ Installation is easy. First, you must unpack the archive file containing the distribution (if you're reading this, you have done that already). You should have the following files: crypto.exe executable Windows program crypto.cqt quote/phrase file crypto.cqi quote/phrase index file crypto.txt the file you are reading now register.txt registration form bwcc.dll Borland C++ support routines Copy the files "crypto.exe", "crypto.cqt" and "crypto.cqi" to any directory you wish; they must reside in the same directory. Bwcc.dll may be put in this same directory or the windows\system directory. To start Crypto!, open the File Manager, display the directory containing "crypto.exe". Now double-click your mouse on "crypto.exe", or use File|Run and enter the command "crypto". Should you decide to register Crypto!, you may wish to add it to one of the groups in the Program Manager. Here is how that is done: 1) Open the group to which you have chosen to add Crypto!. 2) Select File|New from the Program Manager. 3) Verify that the box which appears says "New Program Item", and click OK. 4) Enter the following values: Description: Crypto! Command Line: crypto.exe Working Directory: (the directory where you put crypto.exe and crypto.qot) 5) Click the OK button. Now Crypto! can be started merely by double-clicking its icon in the group to which you added it. CR:To install Crypto!, select File|Run from either the Program Manager or the CR:File Manager, and enter "a:\install" (or b:\install if your floppy drive CR:is drive b). Then follow the instructions shown on the screen. You will CR:be asked to select the directory in which Crypto! will be installed, and CR:program items will automatically be added to the Program Manager if you CR:wish. CR: CR:Now Crypto! can be started merely by double-clicking its icon. The other CR:icons access additional puzzle files. The first of these, entitled "Other CR:quotes", contains quotes, sayings, and phrases from all categories and CR:subjects. The next, entitled "Murphy's Laws", contains over 500 humorous CR:but often cunningly accurate "laws" in addition to Murphy's famous ones. CR:The last, "Star Trek", contains quotes from the original television series. CR:To solve quotes from one of the other libraries, simply double-click on the CR:appropriate icon. CR: CR:After installation, you may put the file bwcc.dll in your windows\system CR:directory if you wish; if you have more than one program using this file, CR:they can all share one copy in this manner. If you already have a CR:bwcc.dll in your windows\system directory, compare the dates and sizes of CR:the two files to be sure you are not copying an earlier version of the dll CR:over a more recent version. The installation procedure does not put CR:bwcc.dll in windows\system directly because that would run the risk of CR:destroying your possibly more recent bwcc.dll file without your knowledge. CR:QUOTE FILES CR:----------- C:The commercial version of Crypto! comes with four files of quotes and phrases. CR:These were obtained from public domain sources, and are redistributed as CR:public domain files (though the compression applied to them makes them of CR:little use to other programs). Thank you for trying out Crypto!, and I hope you enjoy it. Remember to register the program if you wish to use it past the trial period! K.
