You start by pressing the Start button, which bets your 'Ante' and rolls the first two dice. If the second is less then or equal to the first, then you lose the Ante. If the second is greater, then you're still in business. Take double the ante and run (by pressing the 'collect' button) or pust your luck that the next die will be higher still. If it is, the Current Bet (amount you can collect) doubles. If not, you lose. When you roll a 6 you win and collect automatically (unless first die was a 6 also). After you collect, win automatically, or lose, press Start to repeat. A spin button lets you change the amount of your Ante at the start of each round. WHO MAY USE IT -------------- This program (even the promo version) is shareware, not freeware. If you plan to keep it around for serious use you must purchase/register it. Print out the file NEATSTUF.TXT (can be conveniently done from DOS Edit or Win Notepad, for instance) and fill out to register this and other products.
