INSTALLATION
------------

1. Place the files HANGWORD.EXE, HANGWORD.HLP, and all supplied *.HWD files
   in a directory of your choice, for example C:\HANGWORD.

2. In the Windows program manager (or desktop manager you are using), add a
   program item to a group of your choice. Sample specification:
      Description:  HangWord
      Command line: C:\HANGWORD\HANGWORD.EXE
      Working directory: C:\HANGWORD
   Substitute the actual drive + directory where you put the files in step 1.
   Press OK.

3. Launch the program. An "Open Word File" box will appear the first time
   you run the program. Select a file from the list and click "Open".

4. To play, click on letters on the screen, or press letters on the keyboard.

5. If an incorrect letter is guessed, a piece of the PC will fall into the
   trash can. You can continue to play while the pieces fall.

6. To move on to another word, click on "New" on the menu bar, or press Alt+N
   on the keyboard.


ERRATA
------

1. When you return to the program in the future, the program will re-open the
   last word file used. To switch to another word file, use the File/Open Word
   file menu.

2. If you would like to build your own word files, it's quite easy. See the
   on-line help file for details (Select "Contents" from the "Help" menu).

3. Unmatched letters are shown on the screen using an underscore. With some
   screen fonts, the underscores run together into a continuous line.

4. The win/lose tunes play through your computer's MIDI synthesizer/sound board
   (if present). MIDI uses much less disk space and usually offers better sound
   quality (when compared to WAVE files). But since musical instruments play
   slightly different on various synthesizers, some of the tunes might sound a
   bit strange. When tunes play through MIDI, you can move on to another word
   while the tune plays.

   If your computer does not have a MIDI synthesizer, the tunes will play
   through the PC's internal speaker, and the keyboard/mouse is inhibited while
   the tune is in progress. Also, If you run OS/2 (instead of Windows) and the
   music plays thru the internal speaker, it may play abnormally slow. You can
   turn off the music by selecting Options/Sound from the menu.
