- An order form is provide under the file name "ORDERFRM.TXT". You can Open this file using Windows Notepad and print it.
-
- NOTE 1:
-
- This program is written in Visual Basic. Thus it needs the
- VBRUN300.DLL (which should be included) to run. If you got
- your copy from an online service or bulletin board take note:
-
- Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN300.DLL file from Windows
- programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
- If you are missing the VBRUN300.DLL file, log back on to
- the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
- find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
- how he/she allows people to acquire it.
-
- NOTE 2:
-
- How to install your program as an Icon with the
- Windows' Program Manager.
-
- 1. First install the program in a DOS directory,
- outside of Windows.
-
- 2. Start up Windows and open the PROGRAM MANAGER.
-
- 3. Click once on the group in which you want the
- new Icon installed.
-
- 4. Go up to the menu bar at the top of your screen
- and click on the word FILE.
-
- 5. A menu drops down. Click on NEW.
-
- 6. You will see a window with two choices. Select
- PROGRAM ITEM. Then click on OKAY.
-
- 7. Another window appears entitled PROGRAM ITEM
- PROPERTIES.
-
- 8. Click in the box labeled DESCRIPTION. Type
- POKE-IT POKER!.
-
- 9. Use the tab key or mouse and go to the box
- labeled COMMAND LINE. Type the full name of the
- path to the directory where you have installed
- Poke-It Poker, and the name POKER.EXE. For example,
- if the game is in a directory called POKER on the
- C drive you would enter C:\POKER\POKER.EXE in the
- box.
-
- 10. Use the TAB key to go to the box labeled WORKING
- DIRECTORY. Type the name of the directory in which
- you installed POKE-IT POKER!. For example, if you
- installed the game in a directory called POKER, then
- type C:\ POKER.
-
- 11. Now click on OKAY in the PROGRAM ITEM PROPERTIES
- Window.
-
- You should now have the POKE-IT POKER Icon installed
- in your PROGRAM MANAGER. Enjoy the game!
-
- NOTE 3:
-
- It has come to my attention that certain SVGA video hardware
- is non-compatible with the MicroSoft Visual Basic Environment and
- causes problems every so often in 800 x 600 mode and more often in
- 1024 x 768 resolution. Buttons will be misplaced etc. At the
- moment there is one solution:
- Open the Windows Setup icon and select CHANGE SYSTEM SETTINGS
- from the OPTIONS menu. Follow the prompts to change your
- video mode to a 640 x 480 resolution driver. The game will
- now run fine. When you're finished, return to Setup and
- re-install your original driver.
-
- We're sorry for the inconvenience.
-
-
- Happy Pokering!
