- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
-
- 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!
