- Introduction
-
- Spades has always been one of my favorite card games, and , in my opinion,
- I'm a pretty good player. I did my best to instill my knowledge of the
- game into this program so that it will be challenging. You, of course,
- will be the final judge of how well I did.
-
- Spades is Shareware. Feel free to pass the shareware evaluation version
- (SPADE2.ZIP) along to anybody you see fit, or upload it to any BBS you
- want. All I ask is that you pass the ZIP file along with out altering its
- contents in any way.
-
- If you are using the shareware evaluation copy of Spades you can play the
- game for 21 days to evaluate it. At the end of that evaluation period you
- must either register your copy or remove the game from your system.
-
- You can register Spades in one of two ways. First, by sending a check or
- money order to:
-
- Greg DeBacker
- 638 San Juan Av.
- Santa Cruz, CA
- 95065
-
- Or, if you are a member of CompuServe, you can use their software
- registration forum (GO SWREG). Once there, use SWREG # 6808 and follow
- the on screen instructions.
-
- The cost of registration is $12.50. If you are located outside of the
- US, Mexico, or Canada add an additional $2.00 to cover shipping.
-
- See the Q & A section in the help file for the above registration
- informtaion along with the benifits of registering.
-
-
- Installation
-
- Aside from the ZIP file SPADE2.ZIP you will need one other file to
- successfully install and run Spades. You will need:
-
- VBRUN300.DLL
-
- VBRUN300.DLL is the run-time module needed to run all programs written in
- the language Visual Basic. VBRUN300.DLL can be found on all on-line
- services. It is usually stored as VBRUN3.ZIP. Once you have VBRUN300.DLL put
- this file in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
-
- Installing Spades is pretty easy. First, create a new directory on you
- hard drive and put all the files from SPADE2.ZIP into this directory. To
- start the game double click on SPADES.EXE. If you want to create a Program
- Group and Icons for Windows 3.1, or a Program Folder for Windows 95 you
- can run the SETUP.EXE program to do this.
-
- The Setup program will not copy any files anywhere, it simply gives you
- an easy way to create Program Groups or Folders. When you start Setup you
- will see a list of the Program Groups already in Windows. You can chose
- to have the Spades icons put into one of those groups or type in the name
- of a new Group or Folder in the text box above.
