CardShark Hearts
Notes about the latest version of CardShark Hearts:
New WAV Player:
A small, but significant percentage of users got erratic problems with sounds
turned on. Because CSH used a simple call to Windows to play WAV files,
nothing could be done about the problem in terms of modifying code. Instead,
a new WAV file playing module, MIC.VBX, has been added. We hope this will
resolve those problems.
Network Play Option Added:
Under "PlayOptions" has been added an option for playing with other people on
a network. Check the help file online for instructions.
Changes in Recent Prior Versions:
Current versions of CardShark Hearts are being compiled with version 3 of
Visual Basic and requires VBRUN300.DLL. If you do not have VBRUN300.DLL, check
with the place from which you got CSHEARTS, or use the order form that is in
this archive to get it.
Program Documenation On-Line:
The documentation has been changed from a DOC file to a standard Windows Help
format. After starting CSHearts, please press F1 to bring up the Help system
and read the complete contents of the documentation.
If you are not able to get the CSHearts to run, then bring up the Help program
from Program Manager by pressing F1 and use File-Open in the Help program to
load CSHEARTS.HLP. Once it is loaded, read the section about installation.
New menu items:
"Comments" - select which types of player comments to allow.
"Faces" - hide the computer players' faces.
"First Trick Rules" - choose whether to allow the following on trick one:
- lead a suit other than clubs
- play Hearts
- play Queen of Spades
A speech balloon is no longer shown if it duplicates what is being said when
a WAV file is being played.
A banner has been added to announce the winner at the end of each game.
Several new WAV files have been added. They take about 290k archived. You can
get these files by sending $5 to cover s&h to PsL, P.O.Box 35705, Houston, TX
77005. You can also get the latest CS-Hearts, along with ALL of the sound
files and thousands of other shareware programs, on the latest PsL Monthly CD.
Call 800-2424-PSL or 713-524-6394 for ordering information.
See the CSHearts on-line Help for information about ordering the current
complete set of files.
