- ===== Program Description ========================================
-
- Poker Challenge 1.4 for Windows. This addictive new card/puzzle
- game from award winning designer John Cutter, combines the
- excitement of high stakes Poker with the strategy of Tetris,
- Shanghai and Yahtzee. GameNet's 1996 "Puzzle Game of the Year!"
- Shareware ($15.00). Requires VBRUN300.DLL.
-
- NOTE: Version 1.4 fixes a "Type Mismatch" error that only
- seems to affect players living in Europe and other non-U.S.
- countries.
-
- ===== Installation ===============================================
-
- 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 the game directly from the File
- Manager or the Win95 Explorer.
-
- If you wish to use the automated installation utility (this is
- recommended), copy the files into a temporary directory and 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. You may then delete all the files in the temporary
- directory.
-
- The help file (PC.HLP) contains the primary documentation for
- this program, as well as licensing and registration
- information.
-
- Poker Challenge requires VBRUN300.DLL, which has not been
- distributed with this program. You most likely already have it
- on your computer, but if you do not, it is available from most
- BBS's, CD-ROMs, and FTP and shareware sites, as well as from
- Microsoft.

- ===== Removing the Game ==========================================
-
- If you decide to delete Poker Challenge, you may remove it from
- your computer by simply erasing the files from the game
- directory, and removing its group from the Program Manager or
- Windows 95 Start menu.
-
-
