===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
WELCOME TO DYNAMIC GIN!
Dynamic Gin (TM) is a computer version of the classic Gin Rummy card
game. The Dynamic Gin display shows cards for your hand, an opponent's
hand, a discard pile, and a stock (unused portion of the deck) much
like you would see them in a real Gin Rummy card game. There is also a
rectangle where you deposit your final discard when you are ready to
end a hand (knock).
Dynamic Gin is easy to play. You simply use the mouse to select and
drag cards between the stock or discard piles and your own hand or to
rearrange cards in your hand. The status bar at the bottom of the
Dynamic Gin window indicates whose turn it is and what play options are
available.
If you've never played Gin Rummy, it's not hard to learn. The Dynamic
Gin on-line help contains descriptions of the object of the game,
rules, terminology, and scoring. (Remember that in Help, you can click
on any highlighted (colored, underlined) text at any time to jump to
that topic.) You can probably also figure out how to play without using
Help if you watch the instructions on the Dynamic Gin status bar.
There are a number of different variations of Gin Rummy. The variation
many people know is Simple Gin. Dynamic Gin includes two other
variations: Standard Gin and Oklahoma Gin. Simple Gin is probably the
easiest variation to learn, but we recommend you try all the
variations.
Many people who play Simple Gin ignore the normal rules about passing
at the beginning of a hand. If you're not familiar with passing, pay
close attention to the Dynamic Gin status bar and/or look at the
discussion of passing in Dynamic Gin Help.

===== Installation =====================================
To install Dynamic Gin on your computer:
1. First locate the Dynamic Gin installation program DGSETUP.EXE.
If you are installing from a CyberSym Technologies installation
disk, make sure the disk is inserted in your disk drive. If you
have obtained the Dynamic Gin installation package from some
other source (e.g. a shareware CD-ROM or an online forum), you
may need to decompress the package with a decompression utility
before you find DGSETUP.EXE.
2. In Program Manager, select File, Run (if you are using Windows
95, select Start, Run).
3. Type the full path for the DGSETUP.EXE file. (If you are
installing from an installation disk, this is A:\DGSETUP.EXE
where A is the letter of your disk drive).
4. Choose OK.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
The installation program will let you choose the location where you
want Dynamic Gin on your hard drive. The install program searches for
any previous installation of Dynamic Gin 16-bit edition. If you have a
previous installation, we recommend you install Dynamic Gin into the
same location as the previous installation. This way you will retain
any player configurations you might have established under the previous
installation (see "Configuring Dynamic Gin for More than One User").
If you are running Windows 95, be aware of the following installation
issues.
a. Do not install Dynamic Gin into a directory path longer than 66
characters. This is necessary to keep Dynamic Gin compatible with
earlier versions of Windows.
b. Folders/subfolders created during installation do not appear in
the Windows Explorer until you select the View, Refresh option in
the Explorer.
c. If you so choose, the installation program creates a program folder
(of whatever name you choose) containing several icons. The folder
appears under Programs on the Start menu. However, in Windows 95,
program folders don't automatically stay on your desktop. If you
want the Dynamic Gin folder to always appear on your desktop (as
opposed to just on the Start menu), follow these instructions:
--In the Explorer, find the folder (Dynamic Gin or whatever name
you chose during installation) which is typically located inside
the Programs folder inside the Start Menu folder inside the
Windows folder.
--Using the mouse secondary (right) button, drag the Dynamic Gin
folder to your desktop.
--Release the folder and select Create Shortcut(s) Here on the
popup menu that appears.
--When the folder appears on your desktop, select the title
underneath, and edit the text title to be whatever you want.
Once you have completed the installation, you do not need to keep the
DGSETUP.EXE installation program on your hard disk. It is however a
good idea to keep a backup floppy disk copy of the Dynamic Gin
installation package (or the original installation disk), including
DGSETUP.EXE.
During the installation process, the install program creates a file
called INSTALL.LOG in the Dynamic Gin main directory. DO NOT move,
edit, or delete this file if you ever intend to upgrade or uninstall
Dynamic Gin.
When you first start Dynamic Gin after installation, under a few
conditions, you may get a warning message about a "Dynamic Gin
Backdrop Scenery Error". If so, Dynamic Gin runs with a default
background after this message appears. In this case, you should either
select Options, Scenery to load a backdrop scenery image, or you can
check the Disable Scenery option under Options, Preferences to keep
scenery off and disable this message in future sessions.
