- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains GOLDMINE SLOT CASINO Version 2.10.
- This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
- features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
- documentation is included in the package, but it is more easily read
- after installation.
-
- If you've ever wished you could play slot machines all day long and
- never have to worry about losing the rent money, this is the program
- for you... Written by a real-life slot machine designer, you have never
- seen a more realistic slot game on a personal computer. You'll believe
- you're playing the real thing.
-
- GOLDMINE SLOT CASINO is a shareware program. This evaluation version
- includes all features of the program, but it will not save your account
- information. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge. If you
- like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation
- period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for
- more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors,
- dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their
- copying and distribution services. Unless you register, the author will
- receive no payment.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- GOLDMINE will run from a floppy disk. However, some of the files are
- rather large and floppy disks are rather slow, and there will be delays
- when you change screens. Installation to a hard disk is recommended.
-
- The installation procedure for GOLDMINE is quite simple. The package
- includes programs which automate the entire process. You will need about
- 1.2 Megabytes of available disk space on the hard drive on which you plan
- to install GOLDMINE.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received the
- program, and whether you are installing from DOS or Windows.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
-
- To install from diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place GOLDMINE distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
- appropriate diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the installation program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS commands, "a:" to switch to the "a" drive, then
- "install"
-
- o Or from Windows, click the "File" menu, select "run" and enter
- "a:setup" in the dialogue box.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded GOLDMINE from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Execute the installation program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the <product> package is C:\TEMP, you would execute the MS-DOS
- command, "cd \temp" to switch to the \TEMP directory, then
- "install".
-
- o Or from Windows, click the "File" menu, select "run" and enter
- "c:\temp\setup" in the dialogue box.
-
-
- ALL INSTALLATIONS
-
- Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You will
- have a chance to approve installation before any changes are actually
- made to the contents of your hard drive. The program will suggest a
- destination directory, and will copy its files to that directory. If you
- so direct it, the installation program will install into another
- directory of your choice. It will make no other changes; specifically,
- it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed <product>
- (C:\TEMP, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- FOR WINDOWS USERS ONLY
-
- Like many MS-DOS programs, GOLDMINE requires special handling by
- Windows. You MUST run the program by executing SLOT.PIF, not the
- main file SLOT.EXE, to inform Windows of its requirements. Normally
- the Windows SETUP program will take care of all this for you and
- nothing further needs to be done, but if you experience problems with
- sound or video, take a moment to check the properties of the GOLDMINE
- icon and make sure it's pointing to the PIF file, not the EXE.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- MS-DOS users, change to the directory where you installed Goldmine and
- type SLOT. Windows users, double-click on the slot machine icon. Enjoy!
-
-
-
- Additional Game Packs
-
- GOLDMINE SLOTS version 2 and later is designed to accept additional game
- packs. Generally, these will only run properly with registered versions
- of the game, so no extra packs are distributed with the evaluation
- version. They are, however, freely available for download from the
- author's web site and other locations.
