│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the program PentaBlox v1.01, by Aquila Software.
This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
documentation is included in the program's on-line help (PENTABLX.HLP).
PentaBlox is a puzzle based on a series of shapes previously described
as pentominoes. The challenge of the program is to find as many of the
2339 unique solutions as possible!
PentaBlox is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
features of the program, and you may use it for up to 30 days, without
charge. If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this
evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
REGISTER.DOC for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others
(disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a
fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment
for continued use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for PentaBlox is relatively straightforward.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
To install from diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the diskette in the appropriate diskette drive.
o If you want to install the program on a new directory on your
hard disk then create the directory using the MKDIR command at
the DOS prompt or using the File | Create Directory command in
the Windows File Manager.
o Copy the files to the directory of your choice using the COPY
command at the DOS prompt or the facilities of the Windows File
Manager.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded PentaBlox from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to extract the
contents of the archive file(s) into the directory of your choice on
your hard drive. If you want to create a new directory for PentaBlox
then use the MKDIR command at the DOS prompt or use the File | Create
Directory command in the Windows File Manager.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation PentaBlox should be ready to run.
The program has comprehensive on-line help (PENTABLX.HLP) which you
should consult if you want to know more about the program or have any
problems. I hope you enjoy the program.
