================================ JT WOF Version 1.20 Copyright 1997 Scott C. Duensing (scott@jaegertech.com) 1997 Jaeger Technologies (www.jaegertech.com) ================================ Overview -------- JT WOF is my first program for the USR PalmPilot. It is a fairly accurate version of the TV game show Wheel of Fortune. Upgrading --------- This version of JT WOF should install over an existing copy. If you already have a puzzle database loaded, you do not need to load a new one (this will save you from being forced to play puzzles you have already seen). If you have a graphics database from version 1.10 installed, you do not need to load a new one. If you do not have a puzzle databas or a graphics database, you will need to install the one provided with this archive. If you are upgrading from a previous version of JT WOF and run into problems, delete the previous versions files (be sure to remove the game, puzzle database, and graphics database) first using the Memory application on your Pilot. After deleting the old version, load the new release. Installation ------------ To install JT WOF, you must install two additional databases along with the game. The files you need to install onto your Pilot are: - JTWOF.PRC (The game itself) - PUZZLES.PDB (The puzzles for the game) - GRAPHICS.PDB (Some of the graphics used by the game) The reason for using multiple files is so that you can customize the game yourself. The source code package for JT WOF (available on our web site) contains utilites for creating your own puzzles and game graphics. Installing New Puzzle Packs & Graphics -------------------------------------- To install a new puzzle pack or graphics database, use the Memory application to remove the old puzzle or graphics database before you HotSync the new database into your Pilot.
