- Five Field Kono (1.0)
- Edition Clinton '96
-
- This game will only run under Windows 3.1 or higher, even Windows 95

- program does not require that any modifications be made to the WIN.INI
- file or any other system file.)
- To install the game, just create a directory on your hard disk
- and copy the files from the diskette into the directory.
- DOS WINDOWS 3.1

- File, then click on New Item. For the description enter Five Field Kono.
- The Command Line should say C:\KONO\KONO.EXE. The working directory should
- say C:\KONO. Click OK. It should now exist in your program
-
- This package uses the following files
- KONO.EXE The main program
- VBRUN300.DLL Required to run the game
- GAUGE.VBX Required to run the game
- SPIN.VBX Required to run the game
- KONO.MVE File made for the Icon-Hear-It software which puts
- moving icons in your Windows.
- README.TXT This text file
- OPTIONS.KON File created by the program to record the last
- options used. The next time the game is played,
- this file is read to get the default parameters
- for the game. If the file does not exist, the game
- will assume : Level 2, Stalemate 20,
- Language English (if applicable)
- Player 1 Human, Player 2 Computer
- USER.KON File created by the program to record the user
- code of the registered user (if appliable). If this
- copy of the game does not have a REGISTER selection
- when run then it is not possible to register this
- game.
-
- Files VBRUN300.DLL, GAUGE.VBX, & SPIN.VBX might already exist
- on your computer in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as other
- programs written in Visual Basic might require them and their
- installation programs might have previously copied these files
- onto your computer.
-
- This is computerized version of a game for which at present I cannot find
- any information for, although I got it out of a book, so it must be an old
- game. It was written in 1995 by me (Bruce Calder) mostly as an exercise
- to learn Visual Basic in which this game was entirely written.
- I decided to include the advertisememts for Bill Clinton's re-election as
- a way to make the game more interesting and thus more likely to be passed
- on around North America (and maybe the world).
-
- You should even be able to run this program directly from a diskette (as
- long as all the files indicated exist on the diskette). In File Manager,
- select the A drive and double click on KONO.EXE and the game should start.
- It will probably run a little slower than usual however.
-
- You may make as many copies of this game and distribute them freely as long
- as all of the files listed above are included except OPTIONS.KON & USER.KON,
- although you may include them as well if they exist or are created.
-
- Bruce Calder will not be held responsible for any damage caused by this
- program either directly or indirectly.
