- Win-Yacht is a yahtzee like dice game for windows version 3 or 3.1.
-
- The program was written using visual basic professional development
- kit. Instructions for playing the game are including in the on line
- help facility. It is best to install the program using the setup
- program provided. The downloaded package should include the following
- files.
-
- Winyz.exe: the executable program file
- Winyz.hlp: online help file
- Setupyz.exe: setup program
- Threed.vbx: extensions to visual basic
- Cmdialog.vbx: required to access windows help facility
- Setupkit.dll: required by the setup program.
- Readme.1st: this file
-
- Vbrun200.dll: Visual Basic run time library may or may not
- be included depending on where you got the program.
- This file must be installed for Win-Yacht to run.
- This file can be downloaded from the MSBASIC
- forum on compuserve.
-
- To install Win-Yacht using the installation program simply run
- SETUPYZ.EXE from the program manager or file manager. The installation program
- will install the files in the proper directories and create a group item and
- program icon for Win-Yacht.
-
- If you recieved the Win-Yacht package with vbrun200.dll and do not have the
- library installed then you should run setupyz1.exe.
-
- If you do not wish to use the installation program you can install
- the program manually as follows.
-
- Make a directory for the program files from DOS or the file manager.
- For example, to install the program in a directory called WINYZ type
- the following from the DOS prompt.
-
- md WINYZ
- copy winyz.exe \winyz\winyz.exe
- copy winyz.hlp \winyz\winyz.hlp
-
- Find out where in your system windows looks for the dynamic link libraries
- (files with the dll extension). Using the file manager simply look in
- the windows directory/subdirectories. If you have DOS 5 just type
- from the root directory dir *.dll/s to find the proper directory.
-
- Copy the following files to that directory. For example if the windows syzstem
- files are located in the directory \windows\system type the following from DOS.
-
- copy threed.vbx \windows\system\threed.vbx
- copy cmdialog.vbx \windows\system\cmdialog.vbx
-
- Install winyz.exe from the program manager like you would any other program.
- or run directly if you wish.
-
- Alternatively, you could copy the four files to a single directory.
