It's not intended to be an exhaustive reference to the game. For instructions on how to play the game, refer to the help file (FF13.HLP). Introduction ------------ FoxFire 13 is a solitaire game for the Microsoft Windows operating environment. It is based on a concept by Todd Svec, and is written by Randy Rasa. It's a companion piece to the popular DOS solitaire of the same name. It's easy to learn, but tough to win, and damned addictive. Give it a go! FoxFire 13 requires Windows 3.x and VBRUN200.DLL. How To Install FoxFire 13 ------------------------- There are no special or complicated procedures for installing the game. The program files can be located in any convenient sub-directory on your hard disk. The VBX and DLL files may be moved to your Windows SYSTEM directory if you wish, though it is not required. To run the program, simply install it into the Program Manager (I'm not going to explain how to do that here ... it's well-documented in the Windows manuals and online help). Alternately, the program may be run from the File Manager by double-clicking on the FF13.EXE file. Legal stuff ----------- FoxFire 13 is shareware! It is NOT freeware. It is NOT public domain! As such, you can play it, copy it, and give it away as you wish. In fact, you are encouraged to distribute the program to friends, family, and strangers alike. This includes distribution via electronic bulletin board systems (BBS), user's groups, and disk-distribution services. All that we ask is that the package remains unaltered and complete, consisting of the following files: FF13.EXE ....... FoxFire 13 executable FF13.TXT ....... FoxFire 13 quick documentation * FF13.FRM ....... FoxFire 13 registration form FF13.HLP ....... FoxFire 13 help file QCARD.DLL ...... Support Library THREED.VBX ..... Support library FF13_1.WAV ..... "Card" sound FF13_2.WAV ..... "Win" sound FF13_3.WAV ..... "Lose" sound FF13_4.WAV ..... "Undo" sound FF13_5.WAV ..... "Error" sound BBS.LST ........ List of Support BBS's * VENDOR.TXT ..... Shareware Distribution Information * FILE_ID.DIZ .... BBS description file * All of the files except those marked with an asterisk (*) are required for proper operation of FoxFire 13. FF13.INI will be created upon running. WAV files may be deleted if you are not utilizing a sound card. Refer to the VENDOR.TXT file for more distribution information. Standard Limited Warranty: This software is sold "as is", without any warranty as to performance or any other warranties whether expressed or implied. Because of the vast number of possible hardware and software environments in which this software may be used, no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is offered. The user assumes the entire risk of using this program. Any liability of the author will be limited to product replacement or the refund of the registration fee. Registration ------------ FoxFire 13 is shareware. You may freely evaluate it for a reasonable period (30 days). If you continue to use it beyond the evaluation period, you need to register it. Registration is only $10 and gets you the following benefits: 1. The latest version of FoxFire 13 for Windows on the diskette of your choice (5.25" or 3.50"). 2. A registration code good for all future updates of FoxFire 13 for Windows. This code will allow you to convert current and future shareware versions to registered versions, getting rid of the opening "reminder" screen in the process. 3. More sounds! Add some variety to the "win" and "lose" sounds with this pack of extra sound effects. Let me re-emphasize that the registration code is good for all future updates of this program. With FoxFire 13, you're not stuck in an endless cycle of expensive upgrades -- you register once, and that's it. What this essentially means is: Free Updates! There are three ways to print a registration form: 1. Select the "Print Registration Form" button from the about box. 2. Open the FF13.FRM file (included with this program) with Window's Notepad, and print it from there. 3. From the DOS command line type "COPY FF13.FRM PRN". Once the registration form is printed, simply fill it out (be sure to select a disk size!) and send it to the address listed on the form, along with a check, money order, or cash. Expect your disk in about two to three weeks. All orders are shipped within two weeks of receipt of order. Users in Germany and Northern Europe may register thru a registration service called "Der PD-Profi", which will take care of monitary conversions and mailing to the United States.
