Congratulations  and  welcome to a collection of programs we call 
HALSCRIB,  the world's finest PC cribbage programs (at least we'd 
like to think so).

If you like playing cards and Cribbage in particular, you will be 
entertained for hours.   You are about to experience,  enjoy, and 
admire  vivid graphics,  interesting statistics, and a crafty but 
fair opponent, "HAL".  (Any resemblance to "HAL"'s name and style 
of play to mine is not coincidental).

Watch your game improve by observing the techniques of play  that 
"HAL" uses in expert mode.  Compare your scores and statistics to 
your  friends'  who have used your copy of  HALSCRIB.   Construct 
challenging  card holdings and explore HAL's responses  depending 
on the score status.   Play pre-determined deals and compare your 
results to your friends.  Obtain the latest full-featured version 
of  HALSCRIB  by  becoming a registered  supporter.   If you  are 
not  yet a registered supporter of HALSCRIB,  simply fill out the 
following registration form,  enclose your contribution,  and you 
will shortly enjoy all these features and more!  (A $24 US or $29 
Cdn  contribution,  check or money-order,  will  be  appreciated.   
Ont. Canada residents add 7%).
