- I have a 'slick' install program that takes care of everything having
- to do with installation, but for file exchanges across BBSs
- it takes up too much room -- adding almost 300K to the files.
- So . . . to install 'Hounds & Jackals', please do the following:
-
- 1. Check that VBRUN300.DLL is in your Windows System directory. If not,
- please download a copy (there should be a copy on the BBS from which
- you downloaded H&J.ZIP).
-
- 2. Create a directory SH&J.
-
- 3. Copy all the files 'unzipped' from H&J.ZIP
- to this new 'Hounds & Jackals' directory.
-
- 4. Create a program manager icon for SH&J.EXE by adding it as a file
- in your GAMES program manager group.
-
- That's it.
-
- Thanks for using 'Hounds & Jackals'. I hope it's challenging, fun, and
- educational at the same time!
