- number of other (unregistered) games by the authors, on diskette.
-
- This game is shareware. You are encouraged to freely copy and distribute it,
- provided that no fee is charged beyond normal media duplication and shipping
- costs, and that no changes are made to the distribution archive contents.
-
- For further information see the end of this file and the file ORDER.FRM.

- ---- Hardware Requirements ---------------------------------------------------
-
- IBM compatible with 80286/V20/V30 or better processor

- DOS v2.1 or greater
-
- Disclaimer:
-
- This program is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of
- any kind. In no event will the authors be liable to you for any
- damages.
-
-
- ---- Installing & Configuring ------------------------------------------------
-
- Just put all files in the archive (or on the distribution diskette) in a
- directory on hard or floppy disk, which you will probably already have done.
-
- When you start the game by running hiq.exe, you are presented with the SVGA
- card type you seem to have (this is not entirely reliable) and the current
- resolution and SVGA card chipset; press c to change chipset and mode, q to
- quit, any other key to run the game. The game runs best in standard VGA
- 320x200 256 color mode.
-
-
- ---- The Game ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The game implements the classic game of Hi-Q or Solitaire, which features a
- cross-shaped board with 33 peg holes in it. You may have seen it before
- as a wooden or plastic set.
-
- At the start of a game, the board is filled with 32 pegs and only the center
- hole is empty. You must try to get rid of as many pegs as you can, ideally
- leaving only one peg in the central hole at the end. A peg is removed if you
- move an adjacent peg over it into an empty hole.
-
- You select the peg that you want to move by pressing the Enter, Space or
- Insert key after positioning the cursor over it with the cursor keys.
- You cannot select a peg that you can't move. After selecting a peg, use
- the cursor keys to indicate in which way it should be moved, and press
- Enter, Space or Insert. If you don't give a direction, you will be able
- to select another peg.
-
- You can quit the game any time by pressing Escape.
-
-
- --- Ordering Information -----------------------------------------------------
-
- Send cash (bills) in a double envelope or in an envelope with some paper
- (possibly the order form) wrapped around the bills. An international money
- order will probably cost you a fee comparable to the registration amount. You
- can also use American Express Travelers Checks. Please do not send coins or
- other checks. Send the money along with the order form, or the information
- asked in the order form if you don't have easy access to a printer, to the
- address below. Please remember to add proper postage for delivery to Europe.
- Mail usually takes a few days to reach Europe from North America. We will
- respond within 3 weeks at least, but usually within a few days.
-

- if you have access to Electronic Mail, you can use the following Internet
