    RED DOG is an old west card game, also known as High Card Pool.  It was
 played by cowboys in the 1800's.  It is a cross between twenty-one and poker.

    From one to four can play, with the computer as dealer.  The game uses a
 standard deck of fifty-two cards with the ace as high card.

^CGetting Started

    The main menu allows three options:

                P - Play the Game
                I - Display instructions for the Game
                Q - Quit

    Type P to play the game.

    Each player starts with $100 and the game ends when all players have lost
 their money or cashed in.

^CThe Object of the Game

    For each hand, bet on whether one of the cards in your hand will be higher
 than the card the computer-dealer turns up.  Bets may be from one dollar to
 your total.

    After a player bets, the computer-dealer turns up the next card.  If the
 player has a card of the SAME SUIT and higher rank, he wins the amount of his
 bet.  If he does not have a card of the same suit, or if it is a lower rank,
 he loses.

^CEnding the Game

    When it is a player's turn, he may choose to "Cash In" his chips and leave
 the game.  If all players cash in, or all players have lost all their money,
 the game ends.
