- DICEMASTER(TM)
-
- the dice-rolling program for Windows.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL DICEMASTER:
- --------------------------
-
- DiceMaster probably came to you as a ZIP archive, including these
- files:
-
- DICE.EXE The DiceMaster program
- DICE.TXT This information text file
- THREED.VBX A Visual Basic runtime file
-
- You may place DICE.EXE and DICE.TXT anywhere you like, perhaps in a
- directory called C:\GAMES or C:\UTILS. It's up to you where you put
- them and what you call the directory.
-
- THREED.VBX must be put in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If you
- already have a copy of THREED.VBX, you should only the keep the more
- recent of the two. Delete the old one (or put it on a floppy disk),
- and put the more recent one in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
-
- You also need the file VBRUN300.DLL. This is a very large file
- required by many programs, and so is not included in this archive.
- If you don't already have a copy of VBRUN300.DLL, you can probably
- get it from the same place you got DiceMaster.
-
- DiceMaster is a well-behaved little program; it doesn't change any
- of your INI files, and it doesn't leave any other files on your hard
- drive. If you want to delete DiceMaster, simply delete DICE.EXE and
- DICE.TXT. THREED.VBX and VBRUN300.DLL are used by many other
- programs, so you should not erase these files.
-
- WHAT DICEMASTER IS:
- -------------------
-
- As a service to our customers, we freely distribute this handy
- little program. You may roll any size dice from 2-sided to
- 100-sided. You may roll up to 99 dice of any type, and further roll
- that "group" of dice up to 99 times. DiceMaster keeps track of all
- the subtotals and the grand total.
-
- DiceMaster is useful when running large battles, or in games which
- require large numbers of peculiar-shaped dice. It can also add
- modifiers to individual dice or to entire "group" dice rolls.
-
- DiceMaster is freely distributed: you don't ever have to buy
- anything to use it, but the program itself remains the property of
- Black Gate Publishing. If you paid someone for this program, you
- probably paid them to find it and send it to you: Black Gate
- Publishing did not receive (and doesn't want) any money for
- DiceMaster.
