- TAROT 2 version 2.1 by Gerry Smith
-
- INTERNET: gsmith@tibalt.supernet.ab.ca
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Run INSTALL.BAT to install TAROT 2. INSTALL.BAT requires two command
- line parameters to operate properly. After typing install type the
- path to where you want TAROT 2 installed and then type a "V", a "E" or
- a "S" to tell it whether you want to install the VGA (16 color) cards,
- the EGA cards or the SVGA (256 color) cards. The subdirectory will be
- created if it doesn't already exist.
- Do not install to the root of a drive as there are many files.
- The number of files that can reside in the root is limited.
-
- Example: INSTALL C:\Tarot2 V to install the VGA version onto the
- C: drive in the Tarot2 subdirectory.
-
- You can install the program yourself by copying the file T2.EXE and
- either CARD_16.EXE, CARD_EGA.EXE or CARD_256.EXE to your hard drive and
- then running them. They are self-extracting files.
- Copy the file CARD_16.EXE for VGA, CARD_EGA.EXE for EGA or CARD_256.EXE
- for SVGA. These compressed files contain files of identical names so
- extracting more than one will just overwrite the previous cards. In other
- words only extract the cards you want to use for any particular session.
- You will only have to re-extract the cards if you want to change the
- mode you will be operating in.
- Don't extract these files on the floppy as there is not enough room.
-
- NOTES:
-
- Read the file TAROT2.DOC once the program is installed for instructions
- on using TAROT 2. The file T2SW.EXE is the TAROT 2 program. (Shareware version)
-
- Read the file REGISTER.DOC for information on registering to receive
- the complete package. This file will list what you will receive upon
- registering.
-
- This program may be freely distributed as long as all the files are
- included. All the files which should be included in this package are
- listed in TAROT2.DOC.
-
- Layout files (*.T) and spread files (*.SPR) from earlier versions of
- TAROT 2 will not work in version 2.1.
