VB Dice Roller v.1.1

	VB Dice Roller is a freeware application written using Microsoft's Visual
BASIC programming environment.  It simulates the bags of dice game players
constantly keep with them.  To use VB Dice Roller (DICEROLL.EXE), just use the
"Run..." command from either the Program Manager or MS-DOS Executive's
"File" menu.  If you want to use it many times, just install it into a Program
Manager group using the "New..." command.  You must have a copy of the Visual
BASIC runtime DLL in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory in order to use the
program.  The DLL is easily available on most BBS's and information services.



	In the program, you select the type of die using the option buttons on the
left side of the window.  Only one type of die may be selected at one time.  The
number of sides on the die is shown after the "d".  You can select the number of
dice to roll in the scroll box on the right.  The box ranges from 1 to 12.  When you
have made your choices, clicking on the "Roll Dice" button will cause the
computer to generate a new random number corresponding to your selections.
To exit the program, you can either click on the "Exit Program" button or chose
"Close" from the system menu.  To bring up an "About..." box, just click on the title
at the top of the window.  To minimize the window, you can either click on the
down arrowhead in the upper right corner or select "Minimize" from the system
menu.

	VB Dice Roller v.1.0 was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic v.1.0 on
a PC Systems AMD386-33 clone with MS DOS 5.0 and MS Windows 3.0.  It has
been tested at 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 resolutions.  I am not
responsible for any damages done to your system or loss of time caused by or
related to the use of this program.  (By the way, I really, REALLY doubt it will hurt
anything.  Just making sure no one can come up with some weird case against
me.)

	I am accessable on the MetroLink network as BEN COMBEE, and
participate in the RelayNet WINDOWS conference also as BEN COMBEE.  I will
be leaving for college at Georgia Tech in late September 1991, so my network
links may be gone, but I will still be reachable at the above address.
