WHAT IT IS
----------
Higher is a dice game. You start by pressing the Start
button, which bets your 'Ante' and rolls the first two dice.
If the second is less then or equal to the first, then you
lose the Ante. If the second is greater, then you're still
in business. Take double the ante and run (by pressing
the 'collect' button) or pust your luck that the next die
will be higher still. If it is, the Current Bet (amount you
can collect) doubles. If not, you lose. When you roll a 6
you win and collect automatically (unless first die was a 6
also). After you collect, win automatically, or lose, press
Start to repeat. A spin button lets you change the amount
of your Ante at the start of each round.
WHO MAY USE IT
--------------
This program (even the promo version) is shareware, not freeware.
If you plan to keep it around for serious use you must
purchase/register it. Print out the file NEATSTUF.TXT
(can be conveniently done from DOS Edit or Win Notepad, for
instance) and fill out to register this and other products.
As a registered user, you will be sent the latest full versions
of all products ordered.
MAY I PASS A COPY ON TO FRIENDS?
--------------------------------
You may always pass on a copy of NEATSTUF.TXT to anyone.
As for the program itself, only the PROMO versions may be
distributed. Also, the promo version must be passed on in
either: 1) the zipped file you perhaps just unzipped, OR
2) the original distribution disk layout, which has the
following files, all in the root node, all WITHOUT any
kind of compression or encryption:
SETUP.EXE
HIGHER.EXE
THREED.VBX
SPIN.VBX
VBRUN300.DLL

If you just give someone a copy of the EXE file, it won't even
run for them (unless they already use Visual Basic 3.0 Prof. Ed.).
Only the above distribution methods allow for proper installation.

NOTE TO VISUAL BASIC OWNERS
---------------------------
The Setup.exe for this product was created using VB 3.0's
Setup Wizard. Setup Wizard creates [Visual Basic] setup
programs to install other Visual Basic programs. The
Setup program will display a dialog of all the files to
be copied. It will copy only the ones you do not already
have (in an equal or younger version), so there is no need
to worry about overwrites.
