1) Load Instructions:

Concentrate 3.0b requires VBRUN300.DLL to already be loaded on your system.
This .DLL file is available in the Windows download libraries on AOL.

The files contained in concentr.zip should all be copied to the directory
where you want the game to run from (usually CONCENTR).  You can build an 
icon in an existing group to the concentr.exe program by selecting New 
from the Program Manager File Menu.

If you already have Visual Basic 3.0 Pro or greater loaded on your system,
you do not need to keep the three .vbx files on your system.

Concentrate was written while I was living in the country of Brazil.
Many thanks go to my good friend Eugenio C. Assis from Sao Paulo
for his ideas and assitance in the development of this game and in
the translations of the game text.  Additional thanks to Angelo
Soares for his help with translations as well.

Concentrate is a game that will tax your memory.  There are 24 picture
squares presented.  There are twelve pictures.  You must find and match
the pictures by clicking on the picture squares with the mouse.  You
have 3 minutes to play as many rounds as you can.  (Advanced game level
contains 12 pictures, Intermediate contains 10 pictures and Beginner
contains 8 pictures.)

The Chalice (or Holy Grail as it is called in the game) will give you a
special surprise if you match it the first time you encounter it in any 
given game.

The files concentr.msg and concentr.ini must reside in the CONCENTR directory.
If you move the game to a different directory, be sure to keep the concentr.ini
and the concentr.msg files in the active directory for the game.

You may add your own pictures (.ico files) to Concentrate 3.0b by modifying the
setup file.  Use the Icon created in the Concentrate group to edit this file.
You need to add the path to the icons you wish to use in the game behind
each Picture{n}= line in the setup file.  (e.g. Picture1=C:\windows\myicon.ico).
Once you have setup your custom icons, use the Options Menu function Pictures
to activate your custom pictures.

You also may add your own language to Concentrate 3.0b.  It is a bit more
complicated than the custom icons, but not overly difficult.  To add a
language first use the Icon created in the Concentrate gruop to edit the
setup file.  There is a section called [LANGUAGE] with four language
setups.  Language one is English and Language 2 is Portuguese.  You may add
lanaguages three and four.  Below the [LANGUAGE] section is a section
called [TITLES].  Each Language has a section of messages with a numeric
prefix that matches the selected language.  You will notice the the 1. 
messages are all in English and the 2. messages are all in Portguese.  You
will need to add 3. or 4. sections that match the languages you setup in
the [LANGUAGE] section.  Use the English or Portuguese sections as a guide
for how to translate the title information to your language.

If you want the Help Text to be in your language you can also edit the Help
file by using the Icon created in the Concentrate group.  This file is also
in sections by language.  The messages in the 100 level number sections are
English, 200 are Portuguese, 300 and 400 are for your new language sections.
Use the 100 or 200 sections as a guide for how to translate the Help text to
your language.
