INSTALLING DIACHESS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DiaChess is ready to run "as is". You may either run the program from its
original diskette, or you can install DiaChess on another drive.
If you plan to run DiaChess from its original diskette, it is recommended
that you first make a back-up copy.
In order to install DiaChess on another drive, you may either copy all of the
files from your original diskette onto the selected drive, or you can run the
DCINSTAL program we've included.
EXAMPLE: To use DCINSTAL to install DiaChess on your C: drive with the
original disk in the A: drive, at the DOS prompt enter:
A:\DCINSTAL C:
The DCINSTAL program will create a directory named DIACHESS and then copy all
of the files from the original disk to the new directory. After using the
DCINSTAL program, put your original diskette in a safe place. It is your
back-up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM INFORMATION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DiaChess 1.0 was written using Borland's Turbo Pascal version 7.0, with
heavy reliance on the Turbo Vision framework and objects.
DiaChess is a ShareWare program, and is provided at no charge for evaluation.
You may give copies to your friends, but do NOT alter or offer as part of
another software package. If you find this program useful and continue to
use DiaChess after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration
payment of $20.00 (U.S.) to TNT Software. Registration entitles you to the
latest program version or upgrade, announcements of future upgrades, and a
few suprise goodies thrown in for fun.
The DiaChess program was initially designed to record and print chess games.
Using an IBM or EPSON compatible printer, games may be printed diagramming
each move. DiaChess is also a valuable teaching and study tool. Improve
your play by studying your own games, the games of masters, and standard
"book" openings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST DiaChess for printer compatability:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn on your printer, check the paper supply, and at the DOS prompt type:
TESTME
If DiaChess supports your printer a one page sample game will be diagrammed.
If the sample game does NOT print, then DiaChess doesn't support your
printer...yet. If you experience problems with TESTME, please send TNT
Software a sample run of the TESTME program, along with your name, address,
and a description of your printer (Make & Model).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DiaChess is SHAREWARE:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ShareWare is a software marketing method that allows users to try before
they buy. Users can obtain a copy of a program from a ShareWare dealer
(for a small handling fee - usually around $5.00). ShareWare products are
often less expensive than comparable retail software due to this marketing
method. Program copies may also be obtained from friends, a user group, or
an electronic bulletin board. The software you get is fully functional,
allowing you to evaluate it and decide if it is useful to you. If you
continue to use the software after a reasonable trial period, you are
required to purchase the software by paying a registration fee.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
