4) OverView (What it is)
---------------------
ULTIMATE DICE is basically an expanded version of the classic dice game,
Yahtzee. The difference is in the wider range of scoring options. After
all, what would life be without diversity?

7) What's New
----------
VER
1.0 EVERYTHING! This is the first release! :)
8) Setup
-----
Real simple: Create a directory using any name you desire. Copy
all files into that directory. Run ULTDICE.EXE. That's it!
BRUN45.EXE is not required. This is compiled as a stand-alone
program.
9) Registration
-------------
I know, I know, all software should be free.
Well how about this...we'll make it cheap! For this game, we are
asking for a registration donation of $10.00. By sending a $10.00
donation, you will receive that warm fuzzy feeling that we all get when
we do the right thing, along with a registration key good for all
future versions of this program.
Why register? Well, we put in a lot of time on our games and utilities
and ask very little, so if the program gets registrations we update
it, and if it doesn't, we don't. No matter what though, enjoy this
game. When you register, you can send the $10.00 to us at
the address at the top of this documentation.
10) Instructions for use
--------------------
If you are planning to print your ULTIMATE DICE documentation you should
make sure your printer is on-line and ready before beginning.
The object of ULTIMATE DICE is to achieve the best possible score in 30
turns. This is accomplished by rolling the dice up to four times and
matching your dice with the scoring options available on the screen.
There are five scoring groups, and six scoring lines within each group.
You receive the listed points for every successful match. If your dice
do not meet the scoring qualifications, then you will receive no score
for that particular line. Also, once used a scoring line cannot be reused.
I hate to make this sound so simplistic, but the game should be self-
explanatory. If you have never played Yahtzee before, where have you
been? If you have played Yahtzee, then you will have no problems
understanding the game.
