   An order form is provide under the file name "ORDERFRM.TXT". You can Open this file using Windows Notepad and print it.

   NOTE 1:
   
   This program is written in Visual Basic.  Thus it needs the 
   VBRUN300.DLL (which should be included) to run.  If you got 
   your copy from an online service or bulletin board take note:

        Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN300.DLL file from Windows
        programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
        If you are missing the VBRUN300.DLL file, log back on to
        the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
        find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
        how he/she allows people to acquire it.  
   
   NOTE 2:

	How to install your program as an Icon with the 
	Windows' Program Manager.

	1. First install the program in a DOS directory, 
	outside of Windows.

	2. Start up Windows and open the PROGRAM MANAGER.

	3. Click once on the group in which you want the 
	new Icon installed.

	4. Go up to the menu bar at the top of your screen 
	and click on the word FILE.

	5. A menu drops down.  Click on NEW.

	6. You will see a window with two choices.  Select 
	PROGRAM ITEM.  Then click on OKAY.

	7. Another window appears entitled PROGRAM ITEM
	PROPERTIES.

   NOTE 3:
   
   It has come to my attention that certain SVGA video hardware
   is non-compatible with the MicroSoft Visual Basic Environment and
   causes problems every so often in 800 x 600 mode and more often in
   1024 x 768 resolution.  Buttons will be misplaced etc.  At the 
   moment there is one solution:
        Open the Windows Setup icon and select CHANGE SYSTEM SETTINGS
        from the OPTIONS menu.  Follow the prompts to change your
        video mode to a 640 x 480 resolution driver.  The game will
        now run fine.  When you're finished, return to Setup and
        re-install your original driver.
      
        We're sorry for the inconvenience.
   
   
   Happy Pokering!
