- 2. Shareware
-
- The program CARLTON.EXE comprising the Card Game 'Carlton' and
- this documentation file is distributed as 'Shareware'. It is a
- fully functioning program. You may evaluate the program for a
- period of 30 days, after which continued use of the program
- requires registration with the author.
-
- I don't ask much for the registration fee, and will be pleased
- to send you an updated version of the program when you register
- provided you supply a disk and cover my costs.
-
-
- 3. Introduction
-
- The Carlton Card Game is a two pack patience game described by
- David Pelter in his book 'The Penguin Book of Patience'. The
- game 'Carlton' is one of a family of related games with slightly
- varying rules and layouts. The principle variants described in
- the book have all been implemented in this program.
-
- The program is written using Turbo Pascal for Windows from
- Borland (an excellent language product which I can thoroughly
- recommend).
-
-
- 4. Installation
-
- 4.1 Requirements
-
- An IBM PC AT or compatible. Microsoft Windows V3+. A mouse.
-
- The program has been tested running under Microsoft Windows V3.0
- and V3.1 using hardware varying from an 8Mhz Tandon AT to an IBM
- 386DX Portable on a range of display adaptors.
-
-
- 4.2 Install
-
- CARLTON.EXE - the Windows Executable file.
- CARLTON.HLP - the Windows Help file
- CARLTON.TXT - this documentation file.
-
- You may include the CARLTON.EXE file in Windows Program Manager
- or double click on its filename in File Manager to launch the
- program.
-
- Once you have run the program and selected from the user
- definable options a further file
-
- CARLTON.INI
-
- will be found in the Directory containing your Windows Files.
- Should you wish to remove 'Carlton' from your system at a future
- date then this file may be deleted.
-
- Unless registered with the author the program will remind you
- periodically that the 'Good Guys' register their Shareware
- Programs.
-
-
- 5. Registration
-
- If you like this program and intend to continue using it then
- you may register your ownership with the author and receive your
- personal registration number. This will stop the program
- nagging you to register.
-
- Registration costs five pounds sterling (or equivalent in
- readily convertible currency). If in addition you send me a disk
- with return packaging and postage for your location, I will
- provide the most up to date version of the program and copies
- of other Shareware programs I have written for you to try.
-
- I may be contacted by Post, Telephone and FAX as indicated in
- the HELP, ABOUT option in the game.
-
- Please make cheques (drawable on a UK Bank please) payable to
- Mr. P.B.Cook.
