Introduction

Spades has always been one of my favorite card games, and , in my opinion,
I'm a pretty good player. I did my best to instill my knowledge of the
game into this program so that it will be challenging. You, of course,
will be the final judge of how well I did.

Spades is Shareware. Feel free to pass the shareware evaluation version
(SPADE2.ZIP) along to anybody you see fit, or upload it to any BBS you
want. All I ask is that you pass the ZIP file along with out altering its
contents in any way.

If you are using the shareware evaluation copy of Spades you can play the
game for 21 days to evaluate it. At the end of that evaluation period you
must either register your copy or remove the game from your system.

You can register Spades in one of two ways. First, by sending a check or
money order to:

		Greg DeBacker
		638 San Juan Av.
		Santa Cruz, CA
			95065

Or, if you are a member of CompuServe, you can use their software
registration forum (GO SWREG). Once there, use SWREG # 6808 and follow
the on screen instructions.

The cost of registration is $12.50. If you are located outside of the
US, Mexico, or Canada add an additional $2.00 to cover shipping.

See the Q & A section in the help file for the above registration
informtaion along with the benifits of registering.


Installation

To install Spades run the file SETUP.EXE found in the ZIP file SPADE2.ZIP
or found on the distribution disk if you have registered your copy. The
setup program is a standard Windows setup and is pretty straight forward.
