Loyal CBPool Users:

Just install the software.  All information included in this readme file
is also included in online help.  Those familier enough with Windows to
SETUP this program should proceed with doing so and skip this file.

WHAT IS CBPool?

CBPool (College Basketball Pool) automates the mundane task of organizing a 
basketball pool for the NCAA Division 1 men's tournament.  Ordinarily, when a 
person organizes a basketball pool, that person is doomed to a year they later 
wish to forget.  By the end of the tournament, the pool coordinator is so 
tired of staying up late after the last game every night to calculate scores, 
that their glad it's finally over.  CBPool enhances the enjoyment gained from 
watching the tournament for both the participants and the pool coordinator. 

Unlike other software of its kind, CBPool is a Windows based application with 
full help facilities.  CBPool utilizes the popular Windows "drag and drop" 
method of entering data.  This allows those of us with not-so-nimble fingers 
to enter data as fast as a touch typist!  Because CBPool is a Windows 
application, learning CBPool is simple, and fun! 


INSTALLING CBPOOL

If you've gotten this far, installing CBPool is a snap.
Note: There are two possible distribution ZIP files for CBPool.  
      CBP20AS.ZIP & CBP20BS do not contain VBRUN300.DLL.  If you have
      these files, and do not have VBRUN300.DLL, ask your sysop how to
      get this file.  When you get it, copy it to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
      directory.  If your ZIP files are named CBP20A & CBP20B, these files
      are included. 

1.  UnZip the distribution files to a subdirectory or floppy disk.  Be sure to 
    save the ZIP files to pass out to your friends.  Distributing CBPool in any 
    other format than the original ZIP files is strictly prohibited.  If you 
    received this file unzipped, there is an increased chance of virus 
    infection.  Check on CompuServe or your local BBS for the latest version.  
2.  If you are at the DOS prompt, type win to start Microsoft Windows.
3.  Open the Program Manager window, if it is not open.
4.  From the File menu, choose Run.  The Run box will appear.
5.  In the Command Line text box, type:

    a:setup          If installing from floppy drive A
    or
    b:setup          If installing from floppy drive B
    or
    \<path>\setup    If installing from a sub-directory

6.  Follow the instructions on the screen.
7.  The installation program will create a CBPool program group.  Click the 
    CBPool Basketball Icon to enter CBPool.  We recommend that you press F1 
    for help, and then select "How to use CBPool" for an introduction to 
    running a pool with CBPool.  If you're not familiar with Windows help, 
    press F1 when in the help screen for help on using help. 
8.  If you unzipped the distribution file to a subdirectory in step 1,
    you may delete it now.
9.  Don't forget to register this software.  It is unethical to use CBPool for 
    an entire pool without registering.  And besides, registering will give 
    you free technical support when needed, and the next version mailed 
    directly to you (Just think, no service, connect time, or BBS fees).



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later version
2 Meg RAM (4 recommended)
80286 cpu (486 or better recommended)
VBRUN300.DLL in your windows system directory
   - Note: this is included within CBP20A.ZIP
Any printer with a Windows driver capable of printing graphics
Mouse or other pointing device



COMMON INSTALLATION QUESTIONS (Also see Questions & Answers in on-line help)

Question : During installation, I get one of the following messages:
           File already exists [Overwrite?]
           Sharing Violation
           File in use
           Warning - Can not copy file xxxxx.xxx since the 
                     destination file is already in use.
Answer :   It is common to have some of the CBPool distribution files already 
           on your computer.  These files are used in several software 
           applications but aren't included with Windows 3.0 and/or 3.1.  
           CBPool includes all necessary files to run the application (except
           VBRUN300.DLL in CBP20AS.ZIP) so you don't have to search for 
           additional files elsewhere.  This is a convenience that can
           sometimes cause confusion.  If you get any of the messages stated 
           above, that does NOT mean that CBPool installation failed. 
Question : After installation, I get one of the following messages:
           File Error - Cannot Find VBRUN300.DLL
           File Not Found - CMDIALOG.VBX
           File Error - Cannot Find PORIENT.DLL
Answer :   The file mentioned in the error text could not be found in the 
           Windows system directory (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM on most systems).  
           Reinstall CBPool to correct the problem.  If this does not work, 
           your copy of CBPool may be bad, get another copy from CompuServe 
           (or other source) or contact Vitek Enterprises to order a copy.  We 
           guarantee the integrity of our disks. 
Question : When I press F1, I get the message "Cannot open help file".
Answer :   CBPool cannot locate the CBHELP.HLP help file.  Check your hard 
           disk for this file and copy it to the CBPool startup directory.  If 
           you don't find this file, reinstall CBPool.  If this does not 
           correct the problem, your copy of CBPool is incomplete and you 
           should contact Vitek Enterprises for a new copy.  We will want to 
           know where (i.e. BBS) you got your copy of CBPool so we can update 
           them with a complete copy. 
 
REGISTERING CBPOOL

Shareware is a marketing method in the computer world similar to the test 
drive in the automotive world.  It allows users a chance to try-before-they-
buy the software.  In this case, you are allowed to use CBPool at no cost for 
an evaluation period.  This evaluation period has no time limit, but simply 
states:  If you use CBPool to run a basketball pool, you are required to 
register the software.  Sound fair?  I think so.  If you spend the time to use 
CBPool throughout an entire pool, you obviously believe the software is either 
neat, or offers a significant time savings.  Either one of these reasons is 
enough to support the producers of the software to encourage them to produce 
such software in the future. 

If you register your copy of CBPool, you are entitled to a free update.  New 
versions will incorporate all reasonable enhancements suggested by users like 
yourself.  The mailing of the update will save you the trouble of downloading 
the next version and paying any connect time charges associated with doing so.  
In addition, registering CBPool will entitle you access to our technical 
support staff.  You may submit questions through CompuServe (Preferred 
method), Internet, or by phone.  CompuServe messages are given priority over 
others. 

To register CBPool, print the order form and mail it to Vitek Enterprises at 
the address stated on the form.  You may also register CBPool on CompuServe in 
the SWREG area.  Type GO SWREG and register online.  The CBPool ID number for 
this service is 2188.


NOTE TO BBS SYSOPS
