PINOCLE GAMES VENDOR INFORMATION
** SPECIAL NOTICE 4/27/93 ** Please distribute PINOCL12.EXE in
place of the originally distributed PINOCL.EXE or PINOCL11.EXE.
Version 1.1 offered two ways to end the game, making it much
more appealing and correct. Version 1.2 adds two new user
controlled options: (1) the ability to turn the original card
hint feature on & off, and (2) a new bidding option for bidding
just once around the table.
The PINOCLE GAMES system includes five files all beginning with
the letters 'pin' offered to disk vendors for distribution as
the self-extracting file PINOCL12.EXE. A distribution license
has been obtained from PKWARE for this purpose. Also,
PINOCL12.EXE asks the user for permission to extract and seeks
a Y/N response before proceeding.
PINOCLE GAMES is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. If a person finds that they
continue to use PINOCLE GAMES after a reasonable trial period,
they must make a registration payment of $15 to the author,
Michael G. Bruckner, at the address below.
Michael G. Bruckner
Pinocle Games
7936 Saddle Run
Powell, OH 43065
When a person registers, I, Mike Bruckner, will send them (1) a
code word ( a "command line parameter" ) that will prevent the ad
at the end of the game from appearing, (2) a copy of the latest
version of PINOCLE GAMES, (3) a REGISTERED bonus utility - REMI,
a reminder program, and (4) I will also offer some guarantees as
stated in the USER SUPPORT section below.
Commercial users of PINOCLE GAMES must register and pay for their
copies of PINOCLE GAMES within 30 days of first use or their
license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by
contacting Michael G. Bruckner at the above address.
Anyone distributing PINOCLE GAMES for any kind of remuneration
must first contact Michael G. Bruckner at the above address for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted
to distributors recognized by the ASP as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering PINOCLE GAMES immediately. (However Michael G.
Bruckner must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of PINOCLE GAMES.)
USER SUPPORT
PINOCLE GAMES has been thoroughly tested by the author and, to
his knowledge, is not harmful to other files or hardware if used
properly. The author may be contacted by mail (at the address
for registration) to answer questions or to fix a serious bug.
The author is not required to correct problems related to a
specific environment or feature. PINOCLE GAMES operates in the
graphics mode. The following graphics drivers are supported:

will offer a refund if an uncorrectable problem is reported
within a three month period after registration. Please
also read the DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT section below.
The author, Michael G. Bruckner, is a member of the Association
of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
does not provide technical support for members' products. Please
write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442
