- mjreadme.txt ⌐ By Berrie Bloem 1995
-
- This mjreadme.txt file forms part of this zip file.
-
- This file contains release notes, installation information and
- information about error messages for Mah Jongg for Windows.
-
- The following files are contained in this zip file:
-
- mahjongg.exe The program main executable file
- mahjongg.hlp Windows help file
- tiles.dll Library containing tile images
- bwcc.dll Borland custom controls
- mjreadme.txt This file
-
- If you have the Borland bwcc.dll file already installed in your
- Windows\System directory and it is not older than the one included
- in this zip file, then you don't need the Borland bwcc.dll file from
- this zip file.
-
- System Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows (TM) version 3.10 or higher.
-
- Installing Mah Jongg for Windows:
-
- Create a new directory in your favorite games directory called
- mahjongg or whatever name you fancy.
-
- Extract or copy all the files from this zip file to the directory
- you have just created. You can move the Borland file to your
- Windows\System directory if you like, so other programs can access
- this file too.
-
- In Windows, open File Manager and Program Manager side by side. You
- now need to drag the file mahjongg.exe from File Manager to a program
- group in Program Manager. For example, if you already have a "games"
- program group in Program Manager you might like to add the mahjongg.exe
- file to this group.
-
- Now double click on the newly created icon for mahjongg in the program
- group and off you go - you are ready to play!
-
- Removing Mah Jongg for Windows:
-
- Just delete the files; mahjongg.exe, mahjongg.hlp, tiles.dll,
- mjreadme.txt. In the case of the Borland bwcc.dll file only
- delete if it is NOT in your Windows\System directory.
-
- Mah Jongg for Windows also creates its own initialization file
- called mahjongg.ini in your Windows directory. You can safely
- delete this file.
-
- If you are unlucky Mah Jongg for Windows might show one of the following
- error messages:
-
- 1 Can't find "TILES.DLL"
- Solution: Move TILES.DLL, MAHJONGG.HLP, MJREADME.TXT and
- MAHJONGG.EXE all to the same directory.
-
- 2 You are using an old version of "BWCC.DLL".
- Copy the version from the Mah Jongg zip file to your
- Windows\System directory. Mah Jongg will now exit.
- Solution: Make sure that the correct version of BWCC.DLL is
- loaded in memory. If the copy of BWCC.DLL that came
- with the Mah Jongg zip file is newer than the copy
- found in your Windows or Windows\System directory,
- then copy the version from the Mah Jongg zip file
- to your Windows\System directory and delete any copies
- found in your Windows directory. Try running Mah Jongg
- again. If the problem remains then you have to search
- all directories listed after the "PATH=" and possibly
- "SET PATH=" statements in your autoexec.bat file and
- your Windows and Windows\System directory for copies of
- BWCC.DLL. Close all applications except Program Manager
- and File Manager. Make backup copies of all versions on
- a floppy disk and include information from which directory
- a particular copy came from. Delete any versions of this
- DLL in your Windows directory and copy the newest version
- you can find of this DLL to your Windows\System directory.
- Try running Mah Jongg again. If the problem still remains,
- then delete all versions of this DLL on your system,
- except for the copy in your Windows\System directory.
- Mah Jongg should run now.
-
- 3 Sorry... You are using a version prior to Windows 3.1. Mah Jongg needs
- Windows 3.1 or higher. Mah Jongg will now exit.
- Solution: I'm afraid you'll have to install a version of Microsoft
- Windows (TM) newer than the version you have now. Versions
- onwards from 3.10 should run Mah Jongg properly.
-
- 4 Mah Jongg has a problem allocating memory. Free up memory by closing
- other applications. Mah Jongg will now exit.
- Solution: The memory on a computer is limited. Other applications
- have taken up so much of it that Mah Jongg can't get enough
- to run properly. Close all applications you're not working
- on at the moment and try running Mah Jongg again.
-
- 5 Could not Create Timer
- Solution: There are only a limited number of timers in Windows.
- Other applications have taken up so many of them that
- Mah Jongg can't get the two timers needed to run properly.
- Close all applications you're not working on at the moment
- and try running Mah Jongg again.
-
- 6 Error opening Help. Can't find "mahjongg.hlp". Make sure it is in the same
- directory as mahjongg.exe.
- Solution: Move TILES.DLL, MAHJONGG.HLP, MJREADME.TXT and MAHJONGG.EXE
- all to the same directory.
-
- You can contact me if problems persist, see Ordering Information in "mahjongg.hlp"
- on how to contact me.
