- This file provides a quick introduction to FoxFire 13 for Windows, a
- wee bit of legal mumbo-jumbo, and installation instructions. It's not
- intended to be an exhaustive reference to the game. For instructions
- on how to play the game, refer to the help file (FF13.HLP).
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- FoxFire 13 is a solitaire game for the Microsoft Windows operating
- environment. It is based on a concept by Todd Svec, and is written
- by Randy Rasa. It's a companion piece to the popular DOS solitaire
- of the same name. It's easy to learn, but tough to win, and damned
- addictive. Give it a go!
-
- FoxFire 13 requires Windows 3.x and VBRUN200.DLL.
-
-
- How To Install FoxFire 13
- -------------------------
- There are no special or complicated procedures for installing the game.
- The program files can be located in any convenient sub-directory on your
- hard disk. The VBX and DLL files may be moved to your Windows SYSTEM
- directory if you wish, though it is not required.
-
- To run the program, simply install it into the Program Manager (I'm not
- going to explain how to do that here ... it's well-documented in the
- Windows manuals and online help). Alternately, the program may be run
- from the File Manager by double-clicking on the FF13.EXE file.
-
-
- Legal stuff
- -----------
-
- FoxFire 13 is shareware! It is NOT freeware. It is NOT public domain!
- As such, you can play it, copy it, and give it away as you wish. In
- fact, you are encouraged to distribute the program to friends,
- family, and strangers alike. This includes distribution via
- electronic bulletin board systems (BBS), user's groups, and
- disk-distribution services. All that we ask is that the package
- remains unaltered and complete, consisting of the following files:
-
- FF13.EXE ....... FoxFire 13 executable
- FF13.TXT ....... FoxFire 13 quick documentation *
- FF13.FRM ....... FoxFire 13 registration form
- FF13.HLP ....... FoxFire 13 help file
- QCARD.DLL ...... Support Library
- THREED.VBX ..... Support library
- FF13_1.WAV ..... "Card" sound
- FF13_2.WAV ..... "Win" sound
- FF13_3.WAV ..... "Lose" sound
- FF13_4.WAV ..... "Undo" sound
- FF13_5.WAV ..... "Error" sound
- BBS.LST ........ List of Support BBS's *
- VENDOR.TXT ..... Shareware Distribution Information *
- FILE_ID.DIZ .... BBS description file *
-
- All of the files except those marked with an asterisk (*) are required
- for proper operation of FoxFire 13. FF13.INI will be created upon
- running. WAV files may be deleted if you are not utilizing a sound
- card.
-
- Refer to the VENDOR.TXT file for more distribution information.

-
- Registration
- ------------
- FoxFire 13 is shareware. You may freely evaluate it for a reasonable
- period (30 days). If you continue to use it beyond the evaluation
- period, you need to register it.
-
- Registration is only $10 and gets you the following benefits:
-
- 1. The latest version of FoxFire 13 for Windows on the diskette of
- your choice (5.25" or 3.50").
-
- 2. A registration code good for all future updates of FoxFire 13
- for Windows. This code will allow you to convert current and
- future shareware versions to registered versions, getting rid of
- the opening "reminder" screen in the process.
-
- 3. More sounds! Add some variety to the "win" and "lose" sounds
- with this pack of extra sound effects.
-
- Let me re-emphasize that the registration code is good for all future
- updates of this program. With FoxFire 13, you're not stuck in an
- endless cycle of expensive upgrades -- you register once, and that's
- it. What this essentially means is: Free Updates!
-
- There are three ways to print a registration form:
-
- 1. Select the "Print Registration Form" button from the about box.
-
- 2. Open the FF13.FRM file (included with this program) with
- Window's Notepad, and print it from there.
-
- 3. From the DOS command line type "COPY FF13.FRM PRN".
-
- Once the registration form is printed, simply fill it out (be sure to
- select a disk size!) and send it to the address listed on the form,
- along with a check, money order, or cash. Expect your disk in about
- two to three weeks. All orders are shipped within two weeks of
- receipt of order.
-
-
- Users in Germany and Northern Europe may register thru a registration
- service called "Der PD-Profi", which will take care of monitary
- conversions and mailing to the United States. Please contact:

-
- Un-Installing FoxFire 13
- ------------------------
- If you've decided not to register this program, you can un-install it
- by simply removing the program's files from your disk and removing
- the FoxFire 13 icon from Program Manager. We'd appreciate your
- comments, suggestions, or critisism, and we thank you for giving
- FoxFire 13 a chance.
