- Jixxa README.TXT
- ----------------
-
- Hello and welcome to the Jixxa software package from Rhode Island Soft
- Systems, Inc.!
-
- This package contains Jixxa, the premier Jigsaw Puzzle game for Windows
- 3.1, plus 2 fun jigsaw puzzles to get you going. This package contains an
- automated installation utility, and interactive on-line help. It should
- be noted that registered users of Jixxa receive the full retail version of
- Jixxa which contains everything in this shareware version PLUS several new
- game features, and a dozen more jigsaw puzzles!
-
- The Jixxa puzzles in this package are intended for 256 color displays, so
- if you only have a 16 color display, you will not see the full beauty of
- the images. Of course, the game will still work, but not in the intended
- manner. You can verify your color setting in the "Help... About..." box.
-
- The 2 puzzles in this package are made with "Large" and "Small" pieces.
- The registered version ships with additional, different piece sizes as
- well ("Medium" and "Tiny"), for more variety.
-
- The following information will guide you through installing the Jixxa
- files. Once installed, the SETUP program will create a program group and
- install icons for the documentation files, which you can read by clicking
- on the document's icon.
-
-
- VERIFICATION OF FILES
- ---------------------
-
- At this point, please look for all of the files that belong to the Jixxa
- package. All of the files are listed in the file VENDINFO.DIZ. If the
- VENDINFO.DIZ file or any of the files listed in VENDINFO.DIZ are missing,
- please contact us for an official copy of Jixxa -- it would not be fair to
- either the user or Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. to have a user
- evaluate an incomplete package.
-
-
- INSTALLING JIXXA
- ----------------
-
- From Program Manager's main window, select "File". This will cause a menu
- to drop down. Next, select "Run...". A dialog box will pop up requesting
- a "Command Line".
-
- If the Jixxa files are on a floppy disk, insert the diskette into the A:
- or B: drive, as appropriate and type either "A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP",
- respectively. We must execute the "SETUP" program located on the disk.
-
- If the Jixxa files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter the full
- drive and directory path to where the Jixxa files are located, such as:
- "C:\DOWNLOAD\TEMP\SETUP". Please note that these are just samples --
- subsititue the proper drive and directory, as appropriate.
-
- After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the ENTER key or click
- on the "OK" button. At this point SETUP will handle the entire process of
- installing the Jixxa files.
-
-
- PLAYING BACKGROUND MUSIC
- ------------------------
-
- Jixxa now sports a brand new feature -- the ability to play background
- music while playing Jixxa! Jixxa can optionally play MIDI song files
- as background if you so desire. From the "Options" menu you can turn
- the music feature on and off.
-
- Make sure to select the "Choose Music" option to select the directory
- where your MIDI music files are located.
-
- When using this feature, Jixxa will rotate through all of the .MID files
- in the chosen directory. Jixxa "remembers" the last file it played and
- starts at the next "new" music file the next time you play Jixxa, so that
- you don't always hear the same songs played.
-
- You must have a sound card capable of playing MIDI music songs, such as
- a SoundBlaster or AdLib card.
-
- We hope you enjoy Jixxa!
-
- Please call, fax, or write for more information on our Jixxa product line
- as we're always making new sets of puzzles for Jixxa!
