                                Windows Yacht
                                -------------


GAME RULES: The object of Windows Yacht is to reach the highest possible
            point score by rolling and scoring dice.

            A game of Yacht consists of thirteen turns, with up to three
            rolls of the dice allowed for each turn.  At the end of each
            turn a score that has not already been used must be chosen
            and scored for the current dice.

            After any of the three rolls of a turn, a score can be chosen
            for the current dice, ending the turn.  The different types
            of scores, and how their points are computed are: 

                Ones..............  sum of all dice equal to one

                Twos..............  sum of all dice equal to two

                Threes............  sum of all dice equal to three

                Fours.............  sum of all dice equal to four

                Fives.............  sum of all dice equal to five

                Sixes.............  sum of all dice equal to six

                Three of a kind...  sum of all dice -- three of the dice
                                    must be equal
                Four of a kind....  sum of all dice -- four of the dice
                                    must be equal
                Full House........  25 points -- three dice must be equal,
                                    and the remaining two dice must be equal
                Small Straight....  30 points -- four dice must be in
                                    sequence, arranged in any order
                Large Straight....  40 points -- five dice must be in
                                    sequence, arranged in any order
                Yacht.............  50 points -- all five dice must be equal

                Chance............  sum of all dice
                                
            At the end of the game, the total of all scores gives the final
            score.  If the total of all the scores on the left side of the
            score card (Ones through Sixes) is greater than or equal to 63
            points, an additional 35 point bonus is added.

GAME PLAY:  A new game begins by rolling the dice.  To score the dice,
            click on a score item.  When the desired score is found, press
            the Score button, the turn ends, and all the dice roll for the
            next turn.

            After the first and second rolls, some or all of the dice may
            be rolled again.  To roll the dice, click on the desired dice
            to roll and press the Roll button.  After the third roll of a
            turn, a score must be selected.

            For non-mouse users, the keyboard may also be used.  Use the
            <tab> key to move between the dice, scores, and the Roll/Score
            button.  Use the arrow keys to move from die to die, or from
            score to score.  Use the <space bar> to select and deselect
            dice and scores.  Finally, use the <return> key to press the
            Roll/Score button.
