<InstallationInstructionsStart>
To install this game from the distribution diskette, simply copy
the file "PKPOKE.EXE" to the desired directory ("\PVPOKER"
suggested) on your hard disk. This self-installing packed file
will walk you through the complete installation of the program.
You have control over the destination hard disk and directory
as well as the program group to add the game icon to. Very simple
installation process that even the most inexperienced Windows user
can use. To run the file PVPOKE.EXE, double click on this file from
within File Manager.

This will install all the needed files and programs. Once installation
is complete, the PVPOKE.EXE (not PVPOKER.EXE) file can be removed.
However, you should always retain a copy of this file on diskette
or tape just in case you need to reload it in the future.

This program was written in Visual Basic V3.0 and REQUIRES the standard
runtime file VBRUN300.DLL (normally included) and that Windows be running
in 386 Enhanced Mode (not standard or real mode).

NOTE: If you obtained a copy of this game from Compuserve or Ziff-Net,
the file VBRUN300.DLL was not included in the packed file PVPOKE.EXE.
This was done to save download time and related costs. The file
VBRUN300.DLL is available in most BBS forums -- check with your forum's
Sysop or search the BBS files by name. You can also call our BBS and
download VBRUN3.ZIP from the Main Library. Use PKUNZIP.EXE to unpack it
for use with our games.

If a message appears asking you whether or not you wish to replace an
existing file in the \PVPOKER directory, answer with a "Y". DO NOT USE
OLD FILES WITH A NEW VERSION - FATAL ERRORS WILL RESULT.

To start the game, run the file PVPOKER.EXE from Windows File Manager.

The icon file PVPOKER.ICO contains the icon for you to use if you wish
to manually add Pro Video Poker for Windows (tm) to your Games Program
Group or set one up just for this game. Please see the Windows Users
Manual for instructions on adding Program Items and setting up Program
Groups from the Program Manager.

NOTE: Occasionally, Microsoft will release an updated VBRUN300.DLL file
which will correct some bugs in their runtime modules. You should
periodically compare the date/time/size of this file to the latest
one available on CompuServe in the Microsoft MBASIC+ Forum. If a
later one is released, please download it and place it in the
PVPOKER directory. Professional Video Poker for Windows (tm) will
use it automatically from then on.

Shareware Disk or CD-ROM Vendors, including all BBS operators and
systems, may distribute as many copies of this game as desired to
any of their SHAREWARE subscribers or SHAREWARE end-users provided
they do not change any of our program's related files or their
content.

Shareware Vendors must actively promote end-user shareware
registrations in order to distribute our programs.

Shareware Vendors must inform us in writing of their distribution
of any of our programs. Please provide organization's name, address,
phone, and internal disk numbers our programs will be distributed on.
We will then be able to send the latest copy of our programs to the
Vendor.

If possible, Shareware Vendors should send us their catalog and
place us on their mailing list.

Shareware Vendors may unpack and repackage the files to use their
own installation program, if need be. However, our single installation
file PVPOKE.EXE should be the simplest to use for any user.

Retail-ware or rack-ware distributors must obtain written permission
from us BEFORE any distribution is allowed. *** NO EXCEPTIONS ***
