Version 4.2 of ColorCodes has two new features: an "Undo" feature
which allows you to retract guesses made in CodeBreaker, and a
"Hint" feature which will automatically make the next guess for you
in CodeBreaker.

About 100K is required to install the game on your hard disk.
The game can be run from a floppy disk.  It is recommended that you
make a backup floppy if you do this.

The ColorCodes game package consists of four files:

CC.EXE
CC.INI
CC.HLP
CCREADME.TXT

CC.EXE is the executable file for the program.
Windows version 3.0 or higher is required to use the program.
This file is required to use the program.

CC.INI is an initialization file for the program.
This file is required to use the program.

CC.HLP is a Windows help file for the program.
It is recommended, but not absolutely required for using the program.
If it is not installed, the help facility for the program will not
be available.

CCREADME.TXT is this file.
It is not required for using the program.
Its installation is completely optional.

If you pass this program on to a friend, please give them all four
of the files.

;...................................................................

To install the ColorCodes game, copy the three files, 
CC.EXE, CC.INI, and CC.HLP to the directory of your choice.

If you have a GAMES directory on your hard disk, and the ColorCodes files
are on a floppy in your computer's A: drive, the DOS command to copy
the files is:

COPY A:CC.* C:\GAMES

Of course, you may copy individual files as follows:

COPY A:CC.EXE C:\GAMES
COPY A:CC.INI C:\GAMES
COPY A:CC.HLP C:\GAMES

You may also copy the file from the A: floppy drive to your hard disk
from the Windows File Manager as follows:

Click on the A: drive icon to log onto the A: drive.
Open the root directory of the A: drive by double clicking on the
folder icon.  A window showing the files in the root directory should
appear.  Resize this window and move it to the side of the directory
tree window.

Click on the C: drive (or whatever harddrive you like) icon.
Open the directory tree sufficiently to reveal the directory into which
you would like to copy the ColorCodes files.  Select the ColorCodes
files in the A: drive root directory window, and drag them over the
appropriate folder icon in the harddrive directory tree window.

;...................................................................

You may setup ColorCodes as a program item in a program group in the
Windows Program Manager as follows:

Double click on the the program group icon into which you would like to
add the ColorCodes game.  This should open the program group window within
the Program Manager window.  Next select File New... from the Program
Manager's menu.  A dialog box appears with radio buttons for new
program group or new program item.  Click on the new program item
radio button, and then on the dialog box OK button.  A program item
properties dialog box then appears with type-in boxes for description and
command line.  Type "ColorCodes" into the description field.  In the
command line field type the command line required to start the program.
For example, if the program is installed in the C:\GAMES directory,
type "C:\GAMES\CC.EXE" into the command line field.  For Windows 3.1 and
higher, you should also fill in the working directory field.  If the
program is installed in the C:\GAMES directory, type "C:\GAMES" in the 
working directory field.  If everthing is ok, click on the dialog box
OK button, and the ColorCodes icon is added to the program group window.
