***************************** * SUPER WHEEL FOR WINDOWS * * Version 1.0 * * Copyright 1994 John Burky * ***************************** Super Wheel for Windows 1.0 is a shareware word puzzle game. It is like that TV game show that comes on certain channels in the early evening. The object is to solve the secret puzzle by guessing letters in a hidden phrase. There is on-line help to get you started. INSTALLATION Super Wheel requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 and an optional mouse.

If you are installing from the A: drive, enter: A:INSTALL If you are installing from the B: drive, enter: B:INSTALL Then follow the instructions on the screen.

Shareware is try-before-you-buy software. You can use the software for a trial period to see if you like it. If you decide you want to continue using the software, you can register it for a small fee. Your registration fee gets you the latest version of the software on diskette, plus a whole bunch of puzzles. (The shareware version has 40 puzzles.) You have two options. You can get the Tub-O-Puzzles Puzzle Pak for $9 with 250 puzzles. For $2 extra, you can add the Mega-Womper Puzzle Pak with another 250 puzzles.

Another way is to print the file REGISTER.TXT using Windows Notepad or the MS-DOS PRINT command. Shipping is fast. As soon as I receive your registration form, your order is in the mail. SOUNDS Wave files are associated with various events such as correctly guessing a letter or hitting bankrupt. A set of default wheel files comes with Super Wheel, but you can customize the game to use your own wave files. To do this, select Options on the menu bar, then click on Sound. The wave files are listed on the right side of the screen. Scroll down and click on the "[..]" symbol. This means to move up one directory level. Then you can click on directory names until you reach your private stash of wave files. If you want, you can delete the Super Wheel default set of wave files. This will free up about 360K on your hard disk.
