EGA BACKGAMMON
This document is not intended as an instruction booklet on the
game of backgammon. There are many good backgammon books available
at any local bookstore. If you have at least a basic knowlodge of the
game you should have no problem with this version.
To play this version will require that you have either a EGA or VGA
graphics card and a microsoft compatible mouse.
When you first run the program CLICK LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on the
INFO block, this will provide you with all the information you will need
to play the game. Below is a reproduction of the INFO screen. GOOD LUCK.

HELP : If this command is in WHITE then markers are displayed when you
select a man to move. ie; if the dice rolled a 6 and a 2
