- Dear BBS SYSOP/Shareware Librarian
- Welcome to WINWHEEL V.1.40 for Microsoft Windows 3.X
- This word guessing game was written by a member of the Association of
- Shareware Professionals.
- The small distribution version (1000 puzzles) of the game is supplied
- here in archived form. The full version is also available for distribution
- directly from the author. See details below. There are additional files
- included here which sysops/librarians may wish to keep separate. These
- files are common to other programs written in Microsoft Visual Basic.
- VBRUN100.DLL is the Microsoft run-time module. VBTOOLS.VBX is the
- MicroHelp, Inc. run-time module (only required when the author has used
- this add-on in his programming (WINWHEEL). SOUND.DRV is a replacement for
- the sound driver in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. The sound driver
- which comes with Windows V.3.0 and V.3.0a contains a bug which may cause
- sound and music to play slowly, rather than at the tempo which the author
- has programmed. Windows 3.1 does not require the replacement SOUND.DRV.
- The author suggests that all files except VBRUN100.DLL be
- kept on one floppy disk in a disk vendor's library. This may not be
- practical for a BBS. It is suggested that VBRUN100.DLL be archived
- (VBRUN.ZIP) separately.
- The enclosed archive contains 10 files: CHAMP.DAT
- EDITWHEE.EXE
- EDITWHEE.PIF
- HISTORY.DOC
- INSTALL.DOC
- SOUND.DOC
- SOUND.DRV
- SPIN.DAT
- VBTOOLS.VBX
- WINWHEEL.DAT
- WINWHEEL.DOC
- WINWHEEL.EXE
-
- WINWHEEL may be distributed on BBS's and by Shareware distribution
- companies. ASP vendor members have automatic rights to distribute these
- programs. Other BBS sysops and shareware librarians must write to the
- author for distribution rights. All disk vendors may request the full
- distribution version containing over 11,900 puzzles (300 Kbytes without the
- VBRUN100.DLL file) for a nominal fee of $5.00 to cover shipping and
- handling.
- I retain all copyrights to the programs. The 10 files in the ZIP may
- not be modified in any way and must be distributed together. VBRUN100.DLL
- may be placed in a separate file on a BBS. The file WINWHEEL.ZIP may be
- distributed separately from the VBRUN file, as long as it is made clear to
- the customer (either in a catalog listing, or in a file description on a
- BBS) that the file VBRUN100.DLL is also required. Distribution fees may
- not exceed $5.00 per copy. BBS's may not charge any download fee except
- for normal connect charges. The 10 files in the ZIP may be re-archived to
- be consistent with your distribution system.
