Chinese Solitaire for Windows
-----------------------------

Description:

 This is a brand new game combining the best elements of Klondike
 (one of the world's most popular solitaires) and Scorpion (a game
 that offers tremendous opportunity for skillful play), with a
 distinctly Oriental flair.

 Chinese Solitaire is feature-packed, with full statistics, optional
 "easy" mode, autoplay, selectable card backs and colors, great
 graphics, and excellent sound.

Requirements:

 Chinese Solitaire requires Windows 3.1 or later and a mouse.  The game
 will run from a floppy disk, but a hard drive is recommended.  If you
 want to hear the sound effects and background music, you'll need a
 sound card.  Chinese Solitaire requires VBRUN200.DLL, which may or
 may not be distributed with the program.  If not, it is available from
 most BBS's, CD-ROMs, and FTP sites, as well as from Microsoft, and from
 the author's web page at "http://www.sky.net/~rrasa/sw.html".

Installation:

 Extract the program files from the distribution archive and put them
 into a temporary directory on your hard disk.

 If you wish to use the automated installation utility (recommended), 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 Chinese Solitaire group to
 Program Manager or the Start button.

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

 If you decide to delete Chinese Solitaire, you may remove it from your
 computer by simply erasing the files from it's directory, and removing
 its group from the Program Manager or Start button.

Getting Started:

 The help file (CHINASOL.HLP) contains the primary documentation for the
 program, including rules of the game, background information, information
 on the various options and features, a revision history, and instructions
 for registering the game.
