===== Program Description ========================================

  Poker Challenge 1.4 for Windows.  This addictive new card/puzzle
  game from award winning designer John Cutter, combines the 
  excitement of high stakes Poker with the strategy of Tetris, 
  Shanghai and Yahtzee.  GameNet's 1996 "Puzzle Game of the Year!"
  Shareware ($15.00). Requires VBRUN300.DLL.

  NOTE:  Version 1.4 fixes a "Type Mismatch" error that only 
  seemed to affect players living in Europe and other non-U.S.
  countries. 

===== Installation ===============================================

  If you wish to install this game manually, simply create a 
  directory for it (C:\POKERCHL is suggested) and copy the files 
  into that directory.  Add POKERCHL.EXE into the Program Manager
  or the Win95 Start menu, or run the game directly from the File 
  Manager or the Win95 Explorer.

  If you wish to use the automated installation utility (this is 
  recommended), copy the files into a temporary directory and run 
  SETUP.EXE, either from the Program Manager "File/Run" menu (in 
  Windows 3.x), the Start button's "Run" command (in Windows 95), 
  or from the Win95 command line.  The setup program will prompt 
  you to select a destination directory, then copy the files and 
  add a Poker Challenge group to the Program Manager or the Start 
  menu.  You may then delete all the files in the temporary 
  directory.

  The help file (PC.HLP) contains the primary documentation for 
  this program, as well as licensing and registration 
  information.  

  Poker Challenge requires VBRUN300.DLL, which has not been 
  distributed with this program.  You most likely already have it 
  on your computer, but if you do not, it is available from most 
  BBS's, CD-ROMs, and FTP and shareware sites, as well as from 
  Microsoft.

===== Removing the Game ==========================================
  
  If you decide to delete Poker Challenge, you may remove it from 
  your computer by simply erasing the files from the game 
  directory, and removing its group from the Program Manager or 
  Windows 95 Start menu.


===== Registering the Game =======================================

  The registration fee for Poker Challenge is only $15.00!  After 
  you register we will send out a code (usually within 24 hours) 
  that you can type into the game to "unlock" it.  This will 
  IMMEDIATELY allow you to turn off the title screen, and play 
  15 new contests!

  You can register with a check, money order, through CompuServe 
  or even using your Visa, MasterCard or Discover card.  For 
  complete instructions, refer to the product help file.

  Please share this game (the UNREGISTERED version, of course) 
  with your friends and relatives.  You may even post it on your 
  network or a BBS, as long as the files are not changed.  The 
  free trial period for this game is 21 days.  After that period 
  of time you should either pay the nominal $15.00 registration 
  fee or remove the game from your computer. Thanks for 
  supporting the shareware concept!
