- INSTALLING DIACHESS:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- DiaChess is ready to run "as is". You may either run the program from its
- original diskette, or you can install DiaChess on another drive.
-
- If you plan to run DiaChess from its original diskette, it is recommended
- that you first make a back-up copy.
-
- In order to install DiaChess on another drive, you may either copy all of the
- files from your original diskette onto the selected drive, or you can run the
- DCINSTAL program we've included.
-
- EXAMPLE: To use DCINSTAL to install DiaChess on your C: drive with the
- original disk in the A: drive, at the DOS prompt enter:
-
- A:\DCINSTAL C:
-
- The DCINSTAL program will create a directory named DIACHESS and then copy all
- of the files from the original disk to the new directory. After using the
- DCINSTAL program, put your original diskette in a safe place. It is your
- back-up.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PROGRAM INFORMATION:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- DiaChess 1.0 was written using Borland's Turbo Pascal version 7.0, with
- heavy reliance on the Turbo Vision framework and objects.
-
- DiaChess is a ShareWare program, and is provided at no charge for evaluation.
- You may give copies to your friends, but do NOT alter or offer as part of
- another software package. If you find this program useful and continue to
- use DiaChess after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration
- payment of $20.00 (U.S.) to TNT Software. Registration entitles you to the
- latest program version or upgrade, announcements of future upgrades, and a
- few suprise goodies thrown in for fun.
-
- The DiaChess program was initially designed to record and print chess games.
- Using an IBM or EPSON compatible printer, games may be printed diagramming
- each move. DiaChess is also a valuable teaching and study tool. Improve
- your play by studying your own games, the games of masters, and standard
- "book" openings.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- TEST DiaChess for printer compatability:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Turn on your printer, check the paper supply, and at the DOS prompt type:
-
- TESTME
-
- If DiaChess supports your printer a one page sample game will be diagrammed.
- If the sample game does NOT print, then DiaChess doesn't support your
- printer...yet. If you experience problems with TESTME, please send TNT
- Software a sample run of the TESTME program, along with your name, address,
- and a description of your printer (Make & Model).
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DiaChess is SHAREWARE:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ShareWare is a software marketing method that allows users to try before
- they buy. Users can obtain a copy of a program from a ShareWare dealer
- (for a small handling fee - usually around $5.00). ShareWare products are
- often less expensive than comparable retail software due to this marketing
- method. Program copies may also be obtained from friends, a user group, or
- an electronic bulletin board. The software you get is fully functional,
- allowing you to evaluate it and decide if it is useful to you. If you
- continue to use the software after a reasonable trial period, you are
- required to purchase the software by paying a registration fee.
