mjreadme.txt ⌐ By Berrie Bloem 1995
This mjreadme.txt file forms part of this zip file.
This file contains release notes, installation information and
information about error messages for Mah Jongg for Windows.
The following files are contained in this zip file:
mahjongg.exe The program main executable file
mahjongg.hlp Windows help file
tiles.dll Library containing tile images
bwcc.dll Borland custom controls
mjreadme.txt This file
If you have the Borland bwcc.dll file already installed in your
Windows\System directory and it is not older than the one included
in this zip file, then you don't need the Borland bwcc.dll file from
this zip file.
System Requirements:
Microsoft Windows (TM) version 3.10 or higher.
Installing Mah Jongg for Windows:
Create a new directory in your favorite games directory called
mahjongg or whatever name you fancy.
Extract or copy all the files from this zip file to the directory
you have just created. You can move the Borland file to your
Windows\System directory if you like, so other programs can access
this file too.
In Windows, open File Manager and Program Manager side by side. You
now need to drag the file mahjongg.exe from File Manager to a program
group in Program Manager. For example, if you already have a "games"
program group in Program Manager you might like to add the mahjongg.exe
file to this group.
Now double click on the newly created icon for mahjongg in the program
group and off you go - you are ready to play!
Removing Mah Jongg for Windows:
Just delete the files; mahjongg.exe, mahjongg.hlp, tiles.dll,
mjreadme.txt. In the case of the Borland bwcc.dll file only
delete if it is NOT in your Windows\System directory.
Mah Jongg for Windows also creates its own initialization file
called mahjongg.ini in your Windows directory. You can safely
delete this file.
If you are unlucky Mah Jongg for Windows might show one of the following
error messages:
1 Can't find "TILES.DLL"
Solution: Move TILES.DLL, MAHJONGG.HLP, MJREADME.TXT and
MAHJONGG.EXE all to the same directory.
2 You are using an old version of "BWCC.DLL".
Copy the version from the Mah Jongg zip file to your
Windows\System directory. Mah Jongg will now exit.
Solution: Make sure that the correct version of BWCC.DLL is
loaded in memory. If the copy of BWCC.DLL that came
with the Mah Jongg zip file is newer than the copy
found in your Windows or Windows\System directory,
then copy the version from the Mah Jongg zip file
to your Windows\System directory and delete any copies
found in your Windows directory. Try running Mah Jongg
again. If the problem remains then you have to search
all directories listed after the "PATH=" and possibly
"SET PATH=" statements in your autoexec.bat file and
your Windows and Windows\System directory for copies of
BWCC.DLL. Close all applications except Program Manager
and File Manager. Make backup copies of all versions on
a floppy disk and include information from which directory
a particular copy came from. Delete any versions of this
DLL in your Windows directory and copy the newest version
you can find of this DLL to your Windows\System directory.
Try running Mah Jongg again. If the problem still remains,
then delete all versions of this DLL on your system,
except for the copy in your Windows\System directory.
Mah Jongg should run now.
3 Sorry... You are using a version prior to Windows 3.1. Mah Jongg needs
Windows 3.1 or higher. Mah Jongg will now exit.
Solution: I'm afraid you'll have to install a version of Microsoft
Windows (TM) newer than the version you have now. Versions
onwards from 3.10 should run Mah Jongg properly.
4 Mah Jongg has a problem allocating memory. Free up memory by closing
other applications. Mah Jongg will now exit.
Solution: The memory on a computer is limited. Other applications
have taken up so much of it that Mah Jongg can't get enough
to run properly. Close all applications you're not working
on at the moment and try running Mah Jongg again.
5 Could not Create Timer
Solution: There are only a limited number of timers in Windows.
Other applications have taken up so many of them that
Mah Jongg can't get the two timers needed to run properly.
Close all applications you're not working on at the moment
and try running Mah Jongg again.
6 Error opening Help. Can't find "mahjongg.hlp". Make sure it is in the same
directory as mahjongg.exe.
Solution: Move TILES.DLL, MAHJONGG.HLP, MJREADME.TXT and MAHJONGG.EXE
all to the same directory.
You can contact me if problems persist, see Ordering Information in "mahjongg.hlp"
on how to contact me.
