Thank you for selecting WinCraps! WinCraps is a fully featured craps simulator designed to run in a Windows environment. The program files are "zipped" (compressed) together into one self-extracting archive. ________________________________________________________ To install WinCraps in Windows 3.x: - Start your Windows Program Manager - From the FILE menu, select RUN - If you have a WinCraps game disk, - Place it in your A or B drive - Enter A:WINCRAPS (or B:WINCRAPS) - If you don't have a WinCraps game disk, - Enter the path to the game files and WINCRAPS - i.e. C:\DOWNLOAD\WINCRAPS ________________________________________________________ To install WinCraps in Windows 95: - Select Start from your taskbar - Select RUN - If you have a WinCraps game disk, - Place it in your A or B drive - Enter A:WINCRAPS (or B:WINCRAPS) - If you don't have a WinCraps game disk, - Enter the path to the game files and WINCRAPS - i.e. C:\DOWNLOAD\WINCRAPS ________________________________________________________ The game files will first be extracted from the archive. Then the WinCraps setup routine will prompt you for the location in which you'd like to install the game (with a default of C:\WINCRAPS). A Program Manager Group and game file icons will also be created. Caution: Do not install the game into the same directory as the self-extracting installation file. During the installation several system files are loaded which you may or may not already have. If any of these files are present and write protected or in use, a warning message will appear so stating. This is just a notice - installation will continue after you acknowledge the message. Note: WinCraps requires the file VBRUN300.DLL to run. This file is common to many programs written for Windows so it's possible that you may already have a copy (if so, you'd normally find it in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory). If you don't have it and you downloaded the shareware version of WinCraps from CompuServe, America Online, the Internet, etc., then you'll need to also download VBRUN300.DLL. If you received WinCraps from another source, such as a distribution disk, then this file is already included with the game files. Two areas Internet users may find VBRUN300.DLL are: http://www.microsoft.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/cldctysoft It can also usually be found in the game forum libraries of most on-line services such as CompuServe, America Online, etc. ________________________________________________________ Activating your Registered version: To complete your registration, you'll need to enter your name and registration number into the program after installation. To do this, start the program and press the letter "R" on your keyboard while the "About WinCraps" screen is present. Two boxes (not the order form) will then appear where you can enter your information. Make sure you enter your name and number EXACTLY as they were provided to you - taking care to use the same upper and lower case letters, punctuation and spacing. (Press the TAB key to move between the selections, and press the ENTER key when you're done.) ________________________________________________________ Benefits of Registration: - Unlimited usage - No "Order Form" reminders - Unrestricted use of the Hyper-Drive - FREE upgrades ** ** Registration numbers will remain active for future versions of WinCraps. When you see a newer version listed on CompuServe, America Online, etc., just download it and repeat the installation process. If you'd like a new diskette however, you'll have to send a check for $2.50 (US) or $4.00 (foreign) to the address listed below to cover shipping and handling charges. ________________________________________________________ Ordering: Ordering the registered version of WinCraps is best accomplished by accessing the Order Form from within the game. It can be found under the Help menu on the main game table. ________________________________________________________ Copyright: WinCraps is copyrighted by Cloud City Software. You may share the Shareware version of WinCraps with anyone you like, as long as you do not modify the program in any way.
