- REGISTERING Crypto!
- -------------------
- Crypto! is copyrighted software. It is not in the public domain, nor is it
- distributed for free. The author retains all rights to this software.
-
- Crypto! is distributed as Shareware so you can try it out without risk to
- see if you like it. Play it for a month. If you don't like it, simply
- delete it and owe nothing. If you continue to use Crypto! after the trial
- period, you must register your copy. To do this, fill out the form in the
- file REGISTER.TXT, and send it with your check or money order to:
-
- KMR Consulting
- 3090 Griffin Rd
- Churchville, NY USA 14428-9512
-
- If you prefer, you may also register via CompuServe. This takes an extra
- day or two, but it is particularly convenient for users outside of the US
- because CompuServe takes care of all the currency conversions. Type
- GO SWREG and enter registration id #2317.
-
- The registered version of Crypto! includes over 10,000 quotes and phrases,
- for years of cryptographic fun! It also includes the utility program
- cryptocm.exe which allows you to compress quote files that you have created.
-
- Registered users of Crypto! are entitled to one year of free technical
- support, and will automatically receive and be registered for the next major
- revision of the program free of charge.
-
- Anyone is welcome to call, write or e-mail for information on the latest
- revision, to report bugs, and to make suggestions or other comments about
- Crypto!. I am particularly interested in your ideas for making Crypto!
- more fun.
-
- The shareware version of Crypto! may be freely copied and distributed
- provided that it is distributed intact and without any modification.

- CR: This program is licensed to the purchaser; it may not be copied or
- CR:redistributed without written permission from the author. Permission to
- CR:copy this program ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF BACKUP is granted under this
- CR:license.
- CR:
- CR: When you buy a book, you get one book, and only one person can read
- CR:it at a time. This license gives you the right to use this program in
- CR:exactly the same fashion as a book: you may have one copy of it, you may
- CR:move it from one computer to another, and you may let other people use it.
- CR:Except for backup purposes, though, you may not make copies of it: your
- CR:copy of the program may be installed on at most one computer at a time.
- CR:
- C: You are entitled to one year of free technical support. If you have

- DISCLAIMER
- ----------
- Crypto! is supplied as is. The author disclaims any and all warranties,
- expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchant-
- ability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liabilities
- for any damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use
- of Crypto!. (For heaven's sake, it's only a game!)
-
- INSTALLING Crypto!
- ------------------
- Installation is easy. First, you must unpack the archive file containing
- the distribution (if you're reading this, you have done that already). You
- should have the following files:
-
- crypto.exe executable Windows program
- crypto.cqt quote/phrase file
- crypto.cqi quote/phrase index file
- crypto.txt the file you are reading now
- register.txt registration form
- bwcc.dll Borland C++ support routines
-
- Copy the files "crypto.exe", "crypto.cqt" and "crypto.cqi" to any directory
- you wish; they must reside in the same directory. Bwcc.dll may be put in this
- same directory or the windows\system directory. To start Crypto!, open the
- File Manager, display the directory containing "crypto.exe". Now double-click
- your mouse on "crypto.exe", or use File|Run and enter the command "crypto".
-
- Should you decide to register Crypto!, you may wish to add it to one of the
- groups in the Program Manager. Here is how that is done:
-
- 1) Open the group to which you have chosen to add Crypto!.
- 2) Select File|New from the Program Manager.
- 3) Verify that the box which appears says "New Program Item", and
- click OK.
- 4) Enter the following values:
- Description: Crypto!
- Command Line: crypto.exe
- Working Directory: (the directory where you put crypto.exe
- and crypto.qot)
- 5) Click the OK button.
-
- Now Crypto! can be started merely by double-clicking its icon in the group
- to which you added it.
- CR:To install Crypto!, select File|Run from either the Program Manager or the
- CR:File Manager, and enter "a:\install" (or b:\install if your floppy drive
- CR:is drive b). Then follow the instructions shown on the screen. You will
- CR:be asked to select the directory in which Crypto! will be installed, and
- CR:program items will automatically be added to the Program Manager if you
- CR:wish.
- CR:
- CR:Now Crypto! can be started merely by double-clicking its icon. The other
- CR:icons access additional puzzle files. The first of these, entitled "Other
- CR:quotes", contains quotes, sayings, and phrases from all categories and
- CR:subjects. The next, entitled "Murphy's Laws", contains over 500 humorous
- CR:but often cunningly accurate "laws" in addition to Murphy's famous ones.
- CR:The last, "Star Trek", contains quotes from the original television series.
- CR:To solve quotes from one of the other libraries, simply double-click on the
- CR:appropriate icon.
- CR:
- CR:After installation, you may put the file bwcc.dll in your windows\system
- CR:directory if you wish; if you have more than one program using this file,
- CR:they can all share one copy in this manner. If you already have a
- CR:bwcc.dll in your windows\system directory, compare the dates and sizes of
- CR:the two files to be sure you are not copying an earlier version of the dll
- CR:over a more recent version. The installation procedure does not put
- CR:bwcc.dll in windows\system directly because that would run the risk of
- CR:destroying your possibly more recent bwcc.dll file without your knowledge.
-
- CR:QUOTE FILES
- CR:-----------
- C:The commercial version of Crypto! comes with four files of quotes and phrases.
- CR:These were obtained from public domain sources, and are redistributed as
- CR:public domain files (though the compression applied to them makes them of
- CR:little use to other programs).
- Thank you for trying out Crypto!, and I hope you enjoy it. Remember to
- register the program if you wish to use it past the trial period!
