- Introduction
- ============
- This is version 3.1 of MineSweeper for OS/2 2.x PM with Multimedia
- Extensions. It resembles the Microsoft Windows 3.1 version, but is
- not intended to be a clone of it. I've tested it under OS/2 2.1GA
- only. It may, however, work with older versions of OS/2 2.x + MMOS/2.
-
- Changes
- =======
- This version fixes problems playing .wav files on Soundblaster boards.
- Since version 2.13, the game features digitized audio.
-
- Other relatively new features (since version 2.0) include:
- - An option to use larger bitmaps, useful on high-res monitors
- - Separate high scores for each difficulty level
- - Improved performance in several areas (including drawing)
- - More gameplay options
-
- Installation:
- =============
- Simply place Mine.exe, Mine.hlp, and (optionally) Mine.ini and *.wav in the
- same directory. You can run it from the command line:
-
- mine
-
- or from the Workplace shell, after setting up an appropriate Program object.
- Under this beta version, you'll need to run the program from the
- directory in which the .wav files reside.
-
- The .INI file
- =============
- The game stores its settings in its own .ini file; not in a
- system .ini file such as os2.ini. It expects to be able to write
- to this file. Therefore, you'll have problems if you install
- the game to a read-only disk, such as a network drive. If you do so,
- you will get an error message when you exit the game, and your changes
- to the settings, as well as new high scores, will be lost. (Otherwise,
- the game will operate properly.)
-
- If you erase the mine.ini file, the program will rebuild it automatically.
- In this way, you can clear the high score table and the Option settings.
-

- AS-IS; you use it at your own risk. If you are unwilling to
- accept the risk inherent in using free, not-formally-supported software
- written by possibly evil strangers like me, then DON'T use it.
