- This program requires the files VBRUN100.DLL & VBTOOLS.VBX. If you
- did not get them with WINWHEEL, then please contact your shareware vendor.
- You may download VBRUN100.DLL from Compuserve. It is in the file VBRUN.ZIP
- in the MSLANG forum in the Visual Basic library (lib #6). Alternately,
- contact the author at the address below. There is a $2.00 shipping
- and handling charge.

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration of WINWHEEL, you get the most recent revision of
- the program and database with over 11,000 puzzles.
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of WINWHEEL must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "WINWHEEL is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
- warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
- quential, which may result from the use of WINWHEEL."
-
- There is a known problem with WINWHEEL and some other Windows
- programs when used at resolutions higher than standard VGA (640 X480)
- on graphic cards using the Tseng video chipset. The Orchid ProDesigner II
- and SpeedStar cards are known to have this problem. The buttons will be
- improperly placed on the screen. The only solution at this time is to run
- WINWHEEL in VGA mode, not Super VGA mode.
-
- WINWHEEL V.1.2 is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
- to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
- friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
- another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
- provide personal computer users with quality software without
- high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
- continue to develop new products. If you find this program
- useful and find that you are using WINWHEEL and continue to use
- WINWHEEL after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
- istration payment of $19.00 to Russell Mueller. The $19.00
- registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
- computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
- a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
- number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
- location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
- being used at one location while it's being used at another.
- Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
- same time.
-
- Commercial users of WINWHEEL must register and pay for their
- copies of WINWHEEL within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
- Russell Mueller at the address below.
-
- Anyone distributing WINWHEEL for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact Russell Mueller at the address below for authorization.
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of WINWHEEL V.1.2 along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
- will receive a copy of the latest version of the WINWHEEL
- system, software support via mail, and free upgrades/fixes for 90 days
- from date of registration.
-
- WINWHEEL, EGAWHEEL, and VGAWHEEL have been found to be useful to educators
- at all levels. These programs are being used for improving language skills
- in the English language. EGAWHEEL and VGAWHEEL are DOS programs nearly
- identical to WINWHEEL, without the requirement for Microsoft Windows or a
- mouse. They also contain a built-in editor which may be used to create a
- custom database of puzzles for education and entertainment. Please contact
- the author for a site-license agreement with quantity discount.

- ***ASP Ombudsman Policy*****************************************************
- "This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
- works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with
- an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.
- The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP
- member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please
- write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442
- or send a Compuserve message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombudsman
- 70007,3536."

- Beware, younger children may not fully understand the
- rules and are prone to fighting when one player monopolizes
- the Wheel.
- Players outside the U.S. may not recognize some of the
- puzzles, especially those which pertain to U.S. television celebrities or
- programs. I do not have a database which is specific to the world market.
