 COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS:

       Any  286 ,386 , 486, pentium or better IBM compatible computer will
successfully run this game as long as it can run Windows and has over 1Mb of
memory.   It will use any sound driver that your Windows has fitted (ie. a
sound card or PC speaker driver).   A mouse is preferable (as with all
Windows activities), but this is not a requirement.   You can use Windows ver
3.0, 3.1, 3.11, or Windows 95.     It is designed for standard Windows
screen resolutions, but it can accommodate any resolution.





 DISTRIBUTION:

       This copyrighted game is distributed under the SHAREWARE system which
depends upon your support for on-going development.   You are encouraged to
freely copy and distribute this product unaltered to  friends,  business
associates, bulletin boards and user groups.   HOWEVER THIS  PRODUCT IS NOT
FREE !   You have an evaluation period of two weeks.  If you decide you do
not like the game, simply pass the disk along to someone else.   If you are
still using "500 for WINDOWS" after two weeks  of  evaluation, you are
obligated to send a minimum payment of $28.   If the future of low-cost
quality software is to continue, we all must support this concept.   If you
cheat on this payment may you be constantly finessed.

       When you register, you get lots of goodies, as well as that warm
feeling that only comes from the knowledge that you are more saintly than the
scum around you.   Read the end of this file to find out about all the
goodies.

       If you registered a previous version that gave you life time
registrations (like this one does), simply setup this Shareware program on
top of the previous one (ie into the same directory).  It will become
registered.   Note that this only applies to 500 For Windows, not 500 For DOS.



 INSTALLATION:

       500WIN is distributed in a form which makes installation easy for you.
Like all Windows programs, its installation is more complex than DOS
programs, but the SETUP.EXE utility takes care of all this for you.    This
way, it can ensure that you have the correct Windows System files that it
needs to run properly, without you having to do any work.

       After installation, you should have these files in the \500WIN
directory -
    500WIN.EXE -  base program
    500WIN.HLP -  help file
    500WIN.TXT -  this information
    REGO.FRM   -  user registration form
    SCORES.500 -  game scores and set-up info
    *.WAV      -  27 sound files
    *.CRD      -  data files.

       In addition, it will make sure that you have VBRUN300.DLL and other
Windows files in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.


       If you received this software from a Bulletin Board or the Internet,
it will be compressed into the one file, eg 500WIN42.ZIP.   Before running
the installation program you will need to decompress it.  Create a temporary
directory, eg C:\500TEMP, and decompress all the files into it.   The
software is now ready to install, as if you had bought it on a floppy disk.

       Now start Windows, and run the SETUP.EXE program.   The easiest way of
doing this is choose "RUN" from Windows File menu  (type Alt F R ), and
type in the drive, directory, and SETUP.EXE name.   Alternatively, you can
run it from the File Manager.

       The installation program prompts you to enter the directory name in
which to store the files.   The installation program does NOT interfere with
any of your standard set-up eg, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, *.INI,  path.   It
places the icon to start the 500WIN game in a group called "500 for
Windows" that it creates in the Program Manager.   If you want, you can
easily move this icon to a different group (by the usual method of dragging
and dropping).

      If you registered a previous version that gave you life time
registrations (like this one does), simply setup this Shareware program on
top of the previous one (ie into the same directory).  It will become
registered.   DO NOT delete the previous version first.   Note that this
only applies to 500 For Windows, not 500 For DOS.

       If  you created a temporary directory, eg C:\500TEMP,  you can  now
remove it.

       The total space that this program takes up on disk is about 2.2
Mbytes.

    Very occasionally, a particular combination of computer and video
card does not work well with "500 for Windows" at different screen
resolutions.  This shows up as the game not fitting on the screen properly.
The reason for this is probably a combination of the screen resolution
and the size of the fonts that you have chosen for Windows.   It may
take up only part of the screen, or only part of the game may be
displayed on the screen.   You can fix this by forcing the software to
display a particular resolution by including on the command line
"/RESOLUTION500x400".   Adjust  the numbers to make the game suit your
screen.   The command line is set in Windows 3.1 by pressing "Alt ENTER"
on the icon used to call "500".   In Windows 95, set the "properties" of
the "500 for Windows" shortcut.   You can change your screen resolution
and screen font via the Windows set-up in the Program Manager's "Main
Group" (or the Display icon in the Control Panel in Windows 95).
