- VB Dice Roller is a freeware application written using Microsoft's Visual
- BASIC programming environment. It simulates the bags of dice game players
- constantly keep with them. To use VB Dice Roller (DICEROLL.EXE), just use the
- "Run..." command from either the Program Manager or MS-DOS Executive's
- "File" menu. If you want to use it many times, just install it into a Program
- Manager group using the "New..." command. You must have a copy of the Visual
- BASIC runtime DLL in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory in order to use the
- program. The DLL is easily available on most BBS's and information services.

-
- In the program, you select the type of die using the option buttons on the
- left side of the window. Only one type of die may be selected at one time. The
- number of sides on the die is shown after the "d". You can select the number of
- dice to roll in the scroll box on the right. The box ranges from 1 to 12. When you
- have made your choices, clicking on the "Roll Dice" button will cause the
- computer to generate a new random number corresponding to your selections.
- To exit the program, you can either click on the "Exit Program" button or chose
- "Close" from the system menu. To bring up an "About..." box, just click on the title
- at the top of the window. To minimize the window, you can either click on the
- down arrowhead in the upper right corner or select "Minimize" from the system
- menu.

- VB Dice Roller v.1.0 was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic v.1.0 on
- a PC Systems AMD386-33 clone with MS DOS 5.0 and MS Windows 3.0. It has
- been tested at 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 resolutions. I am not
- responsible for any damages done to your system or loss of time caused by or
- related to the use of this program. (By the way, I really, REALLY doubt it will hurt
- anything. Just making sure no one can come up with some weird case against
- me.)

- I am accessable on the MetroLink network as BEN COMBEE, and
- participate in the RelayNet WINDOWS conference also as BEN COMBEE. I will
- be leaving for college at Georgia Tech in late September 1991, so my network
- links may be gone, but I will still be reachable at the above address.
-
