-
- INSTALLING ANARCHY!
- ------------------
- Installing Anarchy! is easy, but the specific process will vary depending
- on how you received your copy of Anarchy!. Two examples are given below.
- The
- first is for copying from a floppy disk or CD-ROM. The second is for a ZI
- P
- file downloaded from a bulletin board system (BBS).
-
- --------------------------
- From a diskette or CD-ROM:
- --------------------------
- First, create a directory for the Anarchy! files:
-
- Using the MS-DOS Prompt Using File Manager
- ----------------------- ------------------
- Type MD\ANARCHY Click on the root directory (C:\)
- Press [Enter] Click on File
- Click on Create Directory
- Type Anarchy
- Press [Enter]
-
- Next, copy the Anarchy! files to the newly created directory.
-
- Using the MS-DOS Prompt Using File Manager
- ----------------------- ------------------
- C: [ENTER] Make sure you have two windows visible in File
- CD\ANARCHY [ENTER] Manager. If not, click on Window, then
- COPY A:\*.* C: [ENTER] New Window.
- In one window, click on the ANARCHY directory
- (This is an example of you just created.
- copying from a diskette. In the other window, click on the drive
- For a CD-ROM, substitute and then the directory where the Anarchy!
- the drive letter and files are located.
- directory of the CD-ROM Click on the first file in the source direct-
- for the A:\) ory, then press the SHIFT key and while
- holding it down click on the last file in
- the source directory. All files in that
- directory will now be highlighted.
- Click again on any of the highlighted files
- but DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON. You
- can now "drag" the files to the ANARCHY
- directory in the other window by moving
- the mouse cursor to the ANARCHY directory.
- Once the mouse cursor is over the ANARCHY
- directory, release the mouse button. This
- will copy all the highlighted files to the
- ANARCHY directory.
-
- Finally, install the Anarchy! icon on your Program Manager display.
-
- Method 1 Method 2 (the easy way)
- -------- -----------------------
- Using either keyboard or In File Manager, click on ANARCHY.EXE in the
- mouse, switch to the program ANARCHY directory. DO NOT RELEASE THE MOU
- SE
- group you want to install button. "Drag" the mouse cursor to the
- Anarchy! in (usually "GAMES"), Program Manager program group you want
- to
- then click on: install Anarchy! in (usually "GAMES"), then
- File release the mouse button. The Anarchy! icon
- New will appear in Program Manager.
- Program Item
- [OK]
-
- Command Line is:
- C:\ANARCHY\ANARCHY.EXE
-
- Then click on [OK]. (You can
- leave the other lines empty)
-
-
- ------------------
- From a ZIP'd file:
- ------------------
- For the novice user, it's easiest to "unzip" and install Anarchy! from th
- e
- MS-DOS prompt (if you are an experienced user, you probably aren't readin
- g
- these instructions, anyway, so we're going to ignore you for the time bei
- ng).
- Please note that un-Zipping a file requires a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE, which
- is
- available on virtually all bulletin boards and online services such as Ge
- nie
- and CompuServe.
-
- First, create a directory for the Anarchy! files. At the MS-DOS prompt, t
- ype
- "MD\ANARCHY" (without the quote marks), and press [Enter]. Next, switch t
- o
- this new ANARCHY directory by typing "CD\ANARCHY" and pressing [Enter].
-
- Next, unzip ANARCHY.ZIP into the newly created directory. As an example,
- if
- the ANARCHY.ZIP file is in the directory C:\DOWNLOAD, then type:
-
- PKUNZIP C:\DOWNLOAD\ANARCHY.ZIP
-
- Assuming you are in ANARCHY directory, all the Anarchy! files will be unz
- ipped
- there (If that's not where you are, no telling where they will end up. Ma
- ke
- sure you type CD\ANARCHY before this step).
-
- (By the way, once you have unzipped Anarchy! you can delete the ANARCHY.Z
- IP
- file if you want. You won't be needing it anymore.)
-
- Now that the Anarchy! files are properly located on your computer, all yo
- u
- need to do is install the Anarchy! icon on your Program Manager display.
- Return to Windows and:
-
- Method 1 Method 2 (the easy way)
- -------- -----------------------
- Using either keyboard or In File Manager, click on ANARCHY.EXE in the
- mouse, switch to the program ANARCHY directory. DO NOT RELEASE THE MOU
- SE
- group you want to install button. "Drag" the mouse cursor to the
- Anarchy! in (usually "GAMES"), Program Manager program group you want
- to
- then click on: install Anarchy! in (usually "GAMES"), then
- File release the mouse button. The Anarchy! icon
- New will appear in Program Manager.
- Program Item
- [OK]
-
- Command Line is:
- C:\ANARCHY\ANARCHY.EXE
-
- Then click on [OK]. (You can
- leave the other lines empty)
-
-
- ABOUT VBRUN300.DLL
- ------------------
- All MS Visual Basic 3.0 programs require the use of a library file called
- VBRUN300.DLL. This includes Anarchy!. Depending on how you received this
- copy of Anarchy! you may or may not have received VBRUN300.DLL.
-
- *** Note that Windows 95 comes with VBRUN300.DLL already installed ***
-
- If you DID receive VBRUN300.DLL with Anarchy!:
- ---------------------------------------------
- You may not need it. Check your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to see if a copy
- is already there. If so, then you can delete the copy that came with Anar
- chy!.
- If not, you need VBRUN300.DLL either in that directory or in the ANARCHY
- directory. We recommend that you place it in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
- so that all programs can share it, thus meaning you only need one copy on
- your computer.
-
- If you DID NOT receive VBRUN300.DLL with Anarchy!:
- -------------------------------------------------
- You may not need it. Check your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to see if a copy
- is already there. If so, then you are set -- you don't need another copy.
- On the other hand, if there is NOT a copy already on your system then
- you need to get a copy (by the way, we apologize for not including it, bu
- t
- most BBS's and information services prefer that we don't. Otherwise,
- there would be thousands of duplicate copies of this file included with
- other programs, taking up disk space better used for other things). Like
- PKUNZIP, copies are available free on most BBS's and information services
- like CompuServe and Genie. If you got Anarchy! off a CD-ROM, there is pro
- bably
- a copy available somewhere on that CD.
-
-
- REGISTERING ANARCHY!
- -------------------
- Shareware is a means of distributing software. Under the shareware concep
- t,
- software may be freely copied and passed along to others, or distributed
- through bulletin board systems or national networks.
-
- As a recipient of a shareware program, you may use the software for a sho
- rt
- trial period to determine if it meets your needs. If the software is not
- suitable, then you can discard it. If you decide to use it, you must pay
- by
- registering. When you register a Cascoly shareware program, you receive:
-
- * A copy of the latest version of the program.
- * Additional FREE puzzles
- * A puzzle builder
- * Reduced prices on other Cascoly puzzle programs.
- * A free introductory account on CompuServe including a private User
- ID number and password, $15 introductory usage credit, and a
- complimentary subscription to CompuServe Magazine, - a $30 value!
- * A minimum of 90 days online support via CompuServe or by
- telephone. Support by mail is also available, if accompanied
- by a SASE.
-
- For a registration form, click on "Display Order Form" on the Registratio
- n
- Information Screen.
-
-
- WINDOWS 95
- ----------
-
- Version 2.00 of Anarchy was developed and tested under Windows 95, so you
- should experience no compatability problems. Please note the following
- changes to the above instructions:
-
- - Instead of File Manager, under Windows 95 you may wish to use Windows
- Explorer (We prefer File Manager!). Since Explorer doesn't let you open
- two Windows at once, though, you will have to run two copies of Explore
- r
- at once.
-
- - Instead of Program Manager, you will be installing Anarchy on to the
- Task Bar. Click on Start, then Settings, then Task Bar, then Start
- Menu Programs to do this.
-
- - Windows 95 comes with VBRUN300.DLL already installed, so you won't need
- another copy for Anarchy.
