DOUBLES PINOCHLE, version 2.00
DOUBLES PINOCHLE is the card game known as double-deck
pinochle. 12 different computer players, lots of changeable rules,
6 cardbacks, save game, create a hand, undo mistakes, keeps win/loss
records, better strategy, mouse or keyboard control, and more.
DOUBLES PINOCHLE requires 640k RAM, an EGA or better video board,
and a hard drive (or a 720k or larger floppy drive).
If you received this program on two 5 1/4" disks from me,
Sean Smith, you need to copy all the files on the 2 disks to your
hard drive. Then, from your hard drive, enter DPINCOMB. This will
combine the files DPINHALF.1 and DPINHALF.2 to make DPIN.EXE.
Enter DPIN to play pinochle.
DOUBLES PINOCHLE is a SHAREWARE game which means you may try
this game to see if you like it. If you do like it and will use
it, you must send a registration fee of $12 to :
Sean Smith
RR 3 Box 208AA
Lewistown PA 17044-9230
Please include the following with your registration fee :
1) your address
2) version number (2.00)
3) disk size you want sent (5 1/4 or 3 1/2)
4) any suggestions for the next version
If you desire, there is a registration form in the file
REGISTER.FRM.
You will be registered for this version and the next version
(if I do another version). I will send you instructions to make
REGISTERED VERSION appear on the opening screen, and I will send
you the next version when it is completed.
If you do not include your version number, you won't be
registered for the next version unless it has already been completed.
I'm also going to do single-deck partnership, 3-hand, and
2-hand pinochle. If you are interested in any of these, let me
know and I'll send you the shareware version when completed.

at anytime.
I in no way warranty the usability of Doubles Pinochle.

address or by phone : (717) 543-5392
Start up rule changes from Version 1.01 :
1) Bidding 1 higer than the high bid is not considered
a meld bid.
2) A first round bid of 59 means double aces around.
3) This isn't a rule, but the players will play queens
before jacks when playing a non-counter.

following files :
1) DPIN.EXE 5) RULES.DOC
2) DPIN.DAT 6) REGISTER.FRM
