-
- Welcome to Neural Ned in NED'S WORLD! This is an
- educational game that runs on Microsoft Windows 3.X. It
- uses a neural network to train a little critter (NED) to run
- about in his world (NED'S WORLD). The better you train him,
- the longer he lives. The trained neural networks can be
- saved for trading or competition. A licensed version of
- this game comes with C-source code to the neural network
- routines and illustrated printed documentation. The order
- form can be found in the file ORDERFRM.DOC and it is
- explained in NEDWORLD.DOC. This file contains the file
- list, installation and document printing instructions.

- Installation:
-
- This software package does not have an installation program.
- This was intentional. A common complaint with Windows 3.X
- is that it is difficult to un-install a software package.
- To not add to this problem I am going to allow you the user,
- to keep everything in one directory where you can easily
- remove it. Except for the conditions described in 'Short on
- disk space?' at the end of this file, keep all of the files
- in this software package together in one directory.
-
- 1. Create a directory on your hard drive to keep Neural
- Ned in NED'S WORLD. For example lets use a directory
- called 'NEDWORLD' in the root directory of drive 'C:':
-
- C:
- cd \
- mkdir nedworld
-
-
-
-
-
- 2. Copy all of the files listed above to the new
- directory. For example if the files were on a:
-
- copy a:\*.* C:\NEDWORLD
-
- 3. Add Neural Ned in NED'S WORLD to your 'GAMES' Windows
- group. Open your 'GAMES' Windows group by double
- clicking on it. From the 'File' menu of Program
- Manager, choose 'New' and 'Program Item'. In the
- 'Command Line' box type 'C:\NEDWORLD\NEDWORLD.EXE'.
- Click on the 'OK' button. The green NED icon should
- appear in the 'GAMES' Windows group.
-
-
- Short on disk space?
-
- The files that came with the software package with the
- 'VBX' and 'DLL' extensions may be common to other Windows
- programs you have. If there are more then 1 copies of
- any of these files on your hard drive, then place 1 copy
- in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and delete all of the
- rest.
-
-
- Printing documentation:
-
- The document files are preformatted text files. They can
- be copied directly to the printer. For example, the main
- document can be printed by doing the following from the
- NEDWORLD directory.
-
- copy NEDWORLD.DOC PRN
