.............. L O C H N E S S R E A D M E ................
Welcome to Lochness, the quick-thinking solitaire game!
Lochness is a fast and easy solitaire whose challenge
lies in trying to score the most points for a given hand.
Your goal is to empty the 7 stacks by building runs of
cards going up or down in rank, regardless of suit.
Jokers and free cards make the going easier. Score extra
points every time you build a complete "Lochness Monster".
Lochness includes background music, sound effects, two
different scoring systems, and a high score list to track
your progess.
.....................Installation............................
Lochness requires no setup or installation program.
To run Lochness, just copy all of its files to a folder
on your hard drive (e.g. C:\Lochness), then double-click
the file called LOCHNESS.EXE. It's that simple.
.....................Registration............................
Lochness is distributed as a shareware program. This means
you are free to evaluate it for a limited time (10 days), and
that if you continue to play it after this period, you must
send a license fee ($7) to the author to "register" your copy
of the program.
Of course, nothing bad happens after 10 days. So really,
this just means that I personally would really appreciate it
if you would send in your registration. Why should you?
* Because it gives you a chance to offer feedback/suggestions.
* Because it helps me improve the game and write more like it.
* Because it gets rid of the annoying download timer and
removes the 30-game limit.
* Because it helps support the shareware game industry,
which brings you low-cost, high-quality games like this.
* Because it's the right thing to do.
* Because it's so cheap -- less than the price of a pizza!
So how do you register? Just print out a copy of the
ordering form found in the file ORDER.TXT. Fill it out and
send it along with a check for $7 (U.S. dollars) to:
Rummy Drop Registration
c/o Susan Brooks
P.O. Box 85714
Seattle, WA 98145
USA
Once I have received your order form, I will reply with a
registration code that lets you officially register your
copy of the game and enable its remaining features.
