REGISTERING Crypto!
-------------------
Crypto! is copyrighted software. It is not in the public domain, nor is it
distributed for free. The author retains all rights to this software.
Crypto! is distributed as Shareware so you can try it out without risk to
see if you like it. Play it for a month. If you don't like it, simply
delete it and owe nothing. If you continue to use Crypto! after the trial
period, you must register your copy. To do this, fill out the form in the
file REGISTER.TXT, and send it with your check or money order to:
KMR Consulting
3090 Griffin Rd
Churchville, NY USA 14428-9512
If you prefer, you may also register via CompuServe. This takes an extra
day or two, but it is particularly convenient for users outside of the US
because CompuServe takes care of all the currency conversions. Type
GO SWREG and enter registration id #2317.
The registered version of Crypto! includes over 10,000 quotes and phrases,
for years of cryptographic fun! It also includes the utility program
cryptocm.exe which allows you to compress quote files that you have created.
Registered users of Crypto! are entitled to one year of free technical
support, and will automatically receive and be registered for the next major
revision of the program free of charge.
Anyone is welcome to call, write or e-mail for information on the latest
revision, to report bugs, and to make suggestions or other comments about
Crypto!. I am particularly interested in your ideas for making Crypto!
more fun.
The shareware version of Crypto! may be freely copied and distributed
provided that it is distributed intact and without any modification.

CR:exactly the same fashion as a book: you may have one copy of it, you may
CR:move it from one computer to another, and you may let other people use it.
CR:Except for backup purposes, though, you may not make copies of it: your
CR:copy of the program may be installed on at most one computer at a time.

DISCLAIMER
----------
Crypto! is supplied as is. The author disclaims any and all warranties,
expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchant-
ability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liabilities
for any damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use
of Crypto!. (For heaven's sake, it's only a game!)
INSTALLING Crypto!
------------------
Installation is easy. First, you must unpack the archive file containing
the distribution (if you're reading this, you have done that already). You
should have the following files:
crypto.exe executable Windows program
crypto.cqt quote/phrase file
crypto.cqi quote/phrase index file
crypto.txt the file you are reading now
register.txt registration form
bwcc.dll Borland C++ support routines
Copy the files "crypto.exe", "crypto.cqt" and "crypto.cqi" to any directory
you wish; they must reside in the same directory. Bwcc.dll may be put in this
same directory or the windows\system directory. To start Crypto!, open the
File Manager, display the directory containing "crypto.exe". Now double-click
your mouse on "crypto.exe", or use File|Run and enter the command "crypto".
Should you decide to register Crypto!, you may wish to add it to one of the
groups in the Program Manager. Here is how that is done:
1) Open the group to which you have chosen to add Crypto!.
2) Select File|New from the Program Manager.
3) Verify that the box which appears says "New Program Item", and
click OK.
4) Enter the following values:
Description: Crypto!
Command Line: crypto.exe
Working Directory: (the directory where you put crypto.exe
and crypto.qot)
5) Click the OK button.
Now Crypto! can be started merely by double-clicking its icon in the group
to which you added it.
CR:To install Crypto!, select File|Run from either the Program Manager or the
CR:File Manager, and enter "a:\install" (or b:\install if your floppy drive
CR:is drive b). Then follow the instructions shown on the screen. You will
CR:be asked to select the directory in which Crypto! will be installed, and
CR:program items will automatically be added to the Program Manager if you
CR:wish.
CR:
CR:Now Crypto! can be started merely by double-clicking its icon. The other
CR:icons access additional puzzle files. The first of these, entitled "Other
CR:quotes", contains quotes, sayings, and phrases from all categories and
CR:subjects. The next, entitled "Murphy's Laws", contains over 500 humorous
CR:but often cunningly accurate "laws" in addition to Murphy's famous ones.
CR:The last, "Star Trek", contains quotes from the original television series.
CR:To solve quotes from one of the other libraries, simply double-click on the
CR:appropriate icon.
CR:
CR:After installation, you may put the file bwcc.dll in your windows\system
CR:directory if you wish; if you have more than one program using this file,
CR:they can all share one copy in this manner. If you already have a
CR:bwcc.dll in your windows\system directory, compare the dates and sizes of
CR:the two files to be sure you are not copying an earlier version of the dll
CR:over a more recent version. The installation procedure does not put
CR:bwcc.dll in windows\system directly because that would run the risk of
CR:destroying your possibly more recent bwcc.dll file without your knowledge.
CR:QUOTE FILES
CR:-----------
C:The commercial version of Crypto! comes with four files of quotes and phrases.
CR:These were obtained from public domain sources, and are redistributed as
CR:public domain files (though the compression applied to them makes them of
CR:little use to other programs).
Thank you for trying out Crypto!, and I hope you enjoy it. Remember to
register the program if you wish to use it past the trial period!
