Vegas, Casino, Baccarat, Shareware, Gambling, Card $14.95 To install this game from the distribution diskette, simply copy the zip file "BACCARAT.ZIP" to the desired directory ("\BACCARAT" suggested) on your hard disk. Next, use PKUNZIP to unzip the file. Then, run the file called "BACCLOAD.EXE" which is a self-installing packed file which will walk you through the complete installation of the program. You have control over the destination hard disk and directory as well as the program group to add the game icon to. Very simple installation process that even the most inexperienced Windows user can use. To run the file BACCLOAD.EXE, double click on this file from within File Manager. This will install all the needed files and programs. Once installation is complete, the BACCLOAD.EXE (not BACCARAT.EXE) file and BACCARAT.ZIP can be removed. However, you should always retain a copy of these files on diskette or tape just in case you need to reload them in the future. This program was written in Visual Basic V3.0 and REQUIRES the standard runtime file VBRUN300.DLL (normally included) and that Windows be running in 386 Enhanced Mode (not standard or real mode). NOTE: If you obtained a copy of this game from Compuserve or Ziff-Net, the file VBRUN300.DLL was not included in the packed file BACCLOAD.EXE. This was done to save download time and related costs. The file VBRUN300.DLL is available in most BBS forums -- check with your forum's Sysop or search the BBS files by name. If a message appears asking you whether or not you wish to replace an existing file in the \BACCARAT directory, answer with a "Y". DO NOT USE OLD FILES WITH A NEW VERSION - FATAL ERRORS WILL RESULT. To start the game, run the file BACCARAT.EXE from Windows File Manager or double click on the game's icon from Program Manager. The icon file BACCARAT.ICO contains the icon for you to use if you wish to manually add this windows game to your Games Program Group or set one up just for this game. Please see the Windows Users Manual for instructions on adding Program Items and setting up Program Groups from the Program Manager. NOTE: Occasionally, Microsoft will release an updated VBRUN300.DLL file which will correct some bugs in their runtime modules. You should periodically compare the date/time/size of this file to the latest one available on CompuServe in the Microsoft MBASIC+ Forum. If a later one is released, please download it and place it in the BACCARAT directory. This game will use it automatically from then on. Shareware Disk or CD-ROM Vendors, including all BBS operators and systems, may distribute as many copies of this game as desired to any of their SHAREWARE subscribers or SHAREWARE end-users provided they do not change any of our program's related files or their content. Shareware Vendors must actively promote end-user shareware registrations in order to distribute our programs. Shareware Vendors must inform us in writing of their distribution of any of our programs. Please provide organization's name, address, phone, and internal disk numbers our programs will be distributed on. We will then be able to send the latest copy of our programs to the Vendor. If possible, Shareware Vendors should send us their catalog and place us on their mailing list. Shareware Vendors may unpack and repackage the files to use their own installation program, if need be. However, our single installation file BACCLOAD.EXE should be the simplest to use for any user. Retail-ware or rack-ware distributors must obtain written permission from us BEFORE any distribution is allowed. *** NO EXCEPTIONS ***
