Welcome to Black Jack Drop, the game that combines the fast 
action of Tetris with the card-playing logic of Blackjack!



.....................Installation............................

Black Jack Drop requires no setup or installation program.
To run Black Jack Drop, just copy all of its files to a 
folder on your hard drive (e.g. C:\JackDrop), then double-
click the file called JACKDROP.EXE.  It's that simple.  



......................Registration...........................

Black Jack Drop is distributed as shareware.  This means you 
are free to evaluate it for a limited time (10 days), and 
that if you continue to play it after this period, you must
send a license fee ($7) to the author to "register" your 
copy of the program.

Of course, nothing bad happens after 10 days.  So really, 
this just means that I personally would really appreciate it
if you would send in your registration.  Why should you?

* Because it gives you a chance to offer feedback/suggestions.
* Because it helps me improve the game and write more like it.
* Because it gets rid of the annoying download timer, removes
  the 5-minute limit, and enables the high score list.
* Because it helps support the shareware game industry, 
  which brings you low-cost, high-quality games like this.
* Because it's the right thing to do.
* Because it's so cheap -- less than the price of a pizza!

So how do you register?  Just print out a copy of the 
ordering form found in the file ORDER.TXT.  Fill it out and 
send it along with a check for $7 (U.S. dollars) to:

	Susan Brooks
	Black Jack Drop Registration
	3040 S. Arizona Ave.
	Yuma, AZ 85364
	USA

Once I have received your order form, I will reply with a
registration code that lets you officially register your 
copy of the game and enable its remaining features.

Or, if you want to pay online using a credit card (and
receive your registration code immediately by email), check
out the Black Jack Drop web site below.
