*** INTRODUCTION & UNREGISTERED VERSION LIMITATIONS ***
=======================================================

In 1994 I wrote a roulette game (never released) for the great Amiga(tm)
...  after two looong year I decided to write a PC version of that
program using the powerful Delphi(tm) RAD system. I've improved graphics
and added some new stuff, but the games scheme has not changed. 

AIMS OF THE GAME:
-----------------

A)  enjoy yourself trying to win as many credits as possible

B) develop strategies that can be used with real roulettes in real Casinos


The PC version is SHAREWARE and I've included a small tiresome "noise" that
will encourage you to register:


IN THE UNREGISTERED VERSION:

- YOU CAN BET ONLY 10 CREDITS AT A TIME

- YOU MUST START A GAME WITH ONLY 10 CREDITS (BUT EVEN WITH 10 CREDITS YOU CAN
  WIN A FORTUNE ;-)

- EVERY 10 GAMES THE ABOUT WINDOW WILL AUTOMATICALLY APPEAR AND DROULETTE WILL
  FORCE YOU TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS BEFORE CONTINUE PLAYING

IF YOU REGISTER THESE LIMITS WILL DISAPPEAR (see How to register section).



*** INSTALLATION ***
====================

Unzip DROULE11.ZIP archive into a temporary directory (or directly into your
favourite game directory) then run the SETUP.EXE program found in the archive.

Installation options:

a) copy files to a destination directory: enable it if you want to copy
   ROULETTE.EXE main program and the related files from the directory where
   youve unzipped DROULE11.ZIP archive to another directory.
   (default = enabled)

b) create a group for DRoulette in Program Manager: enable it if you want to
   automatically create a group DRoulette (with related icons) in your
   Program Manager.
  (default = enabled)

Click on <Install> button to install DRoulette, on <Abort> button if
want to skip installation. 


An installation example:

Suppose you've a floppy disk with DROULE13.ZIP file.

  - from Windows(tm) open a MS-DOS session (MS-DOS prompt) and type:

    C:\> copy A:\DROULE13.ZIP C:\TMP
    C:\> cd C:\TMP
    C:\TMP> unzip DROULE13.ZIP
    C:\TMP> exit

  - select Run from File menu' and type:

    C:\TMP\ SETUP.EXE

    then click <OK> button; wait a bit and click on <Install> button on the
    installation window;

  - double click on DRoulette icon in the new DRoulette group and have fun!


NOTE: if you dont run SETUP.EXE, DRoulette will work perfectly as well;
but, in this case, youll need to add a Program Manager group (or item)
manually.
