- ===== Installation ==============================================
-
- Extract the program files from the distribution archive and put
- them into a temporary directory on your hard disk.
-
- If you wish to install this game manually, simply create a
- directory for it (C:\POKERCHL is suggested) and copy the files
- into that directory. Add POKERCHL.EXE into the Program Manager
- or the Win95 Start menu, or run it directly from the File
- Manager or the Win95 Explorer.
-
- If you wish to use the automated installation utility (this is
- recommended), run SETUP.EXE, either from the Program Manager
- "File/Run" menu (in Windows 3.x), the Start button's "Run"
- command (in Windows 95), or from the Win95 command line. The
- setup program will prompt you to select a destination directory,
- then copy the files and add a Poker Challenge group to the
- Program Manager or the Start menu.
-
- The help file (PC.HLP) contains the primary documentation for
- this program. Poker Challenge requires VBRUN300.DLL, which may
- or may not be distributed with the program. If not, it is
- available from most BBS's, CD-ROMs, and FTP sites, as well as
- from Microsoft.
-
- If you decide to delete Poker Challenge, you may remove it from
- your computer by simply erasing the files from its directory,
- and removing its group from the Program Manager or Start button.
