Mahjongg Tile Sets and ICONS

The contents of this package are dedicated to someone with nothing better to do.  Most of this is the direct product of Johnnie Walker.  I assume you found the READIT.TXT based on some pretty deep deductions.

WWII.TIL - This set consists of the aviation roundels from most participants in World War II.  There are two sets of distinct groups of four - corresponding to the seasons and flowers in a normal Mahjongg set.  The first one is a group of authentic German group markings.  The other is a cop out as it is simply the red and white tail plane markings from 1935 to 1941 used on American aircraft, placed in four different directions.

ARM.TIL - These are imaginary coats of arms set to the tune of Mahjongg.  There is only one set of four distinct tiles which are castles with different flags.

ICONS - As a consultant, I have plenty of time on my hands and Windows is my specialty.  This is evidenced by the included Icons.  The first one, SWORD2.ICO, is intended for use with the coats of arms.  Having told you that, I bet you can figure out for yourself which tile set the WWII.ICO is intended for.

I will now insult your intelligence by explaining how to make these Icons become program manager items which invoke Mahjongg and the selected file.  Don’t be upset, I am simply trying to keep everything universal.

Select the group window of your choice and select File New.  Name it anything you like in the description box and then set the command line to look something like this: C:\directory\MAHJONGG -UC:\directory\WWII.TIL or ARM.TIL.  Then, and this is the Biggie, select Change Icon.  When the dialog box appears, type the path to where the Icons fell when you installed this stuff.  Be sure to use the .ICO extension as Windows isn’t smart enough to figure that out for itself.

Hope you enjoy this monumental project of mine.  Please feel free to share with your friends.  Just please tell them where you got them and that Little Jimmy needs their business.
