WINDETECTIVE version 1.0                                    February 1994
=========================================================================

File List
=========

The archive file WDETCT10.ZIP as supplied by Drazof Industries, contains
the following files:

   WDETECT.EXE      winDetective game executable
   WDT_STD.DLL      a library required for the standard game
   STARSHIP.WDT     the default cardset
   WDETECT.HLP      on-line help files
   FILE_ID.DIZ      identification for BBSs
   CARDSET.ZIP      an archive of files to use if you want
                      to create a custom cardset
   WDETECT.TXT      this file


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

The game should be installed in its own directory, by unzipping the 
archive file, and then, in Windows, adding a new item to your games group.  
To uninstall, delete the entire contents of the WinDetective directory.  
No files will be placed in your Windows directory.  A windows configuration 
file wdetect.ini and a scores file wdt_name.dat will be created in the game 
directory when you first play.  Both can be deleted at any time, although
doing so removes your game setup choices and scores record.

WinDetective requires Windows 3.1, colour VGA monitor, and a mouse.  Its
performance improves with faster machines and accelerated video but can be
played without them.  The uncompressed files will require about 600K of 
hard disk space.

For novice users:

1.   Create a directory.  Go to the location on your hard drive where you
     want to install the game, and type:
                  MD WDETECT
     Then type:   CD WDETECT

2.   Copy the file WDETCT10.ZIP to this directory.  If the file is on a
     floppy disk drive, and your new directory is on your C drive, type
                  COPY A:WDETCT10.ZIP C:
     Then type:   PKUNZIP WDETCT10

     (Note: You must have PKUNZIP.EXE in your path.  If you do not have
     a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE, you should obtain PKZ204G.EXE from your BBS.)

3.   Start Windows.  If you have a Games group icon, double click to
     enlarge it.  Otherwise double click to enlarge a different group.

4.   Click on the File choice at the far left of the main menu.  Then
     click on the New item in that menu.  A box appears with two choices;
     select the one called "Program Item" by clicking on it.  Then click
     on the "Ok" button.

5.   The "Program Item Properties" box appears.  Click on the button
     marked "Browse".  You will see a standardized Windows file selection
     box (for details about this, see your Windows manual).  You will
     have to navigate around your directories until you find the one into
     which you copied the WinDetective files.
	  
6.	  In the list at the left, you will see the file WDETECT.EXE.  Double 
     click on this.  The file navigator box will disappear, and the line 
     marked "Command Line" will contain the file path for WDETECT.EXE.  
     Click OK and you're done.

7.   You can now play the game by double clicking its icon in your games
     (or other) group.

Working with Program Items.)


Version History
===============

February 1994      1.0    Initial release


Bugs and Comments
=================

We're sure there are bugs in there somewhere.  If you encounter one, please
let us know.  You can write to us at the registration address or send us
e-mail on Internet (simon.claughton@canrem.com).


Known Problems
==============

Computer players can sometimes get stuck in the vertical "lanes" between 
locations, especially in long games played in novice mode.  One way to try
to "unstick" them is to suspect them into one of the rooms.

At present there is no way to leave the central room (the Command Deck in 
the StarShip cardset) by the upper door.  Exit from this location is always
by the lower door.

On some video boards, in some high resolution SVGA modes, buttons and fields 
may not be correctly positioned with respect to the bitmaps.  The screens 
should be arranged properly in regular VGA 640x480 modes on most boards.


Disclaimers
===========

The WINDETECTIVE game and all files in the archive WDETCT10.ZIP are supplied
"as is", with no express or implied warranties as to performance or fitness 
for any purpose.  Drazof Industries and the authors of this game assume no
liability for losses or damages, direct, consequential or incidental, that 
may result from the use of the program.  The user must assume the entire risk 
of using this program.


Registration
============

If you continue to use the game after a try-out period of 30 days, you
are urged to register your copy for U.S. $15 or Canadian $20, payable by 
check or preferably money order, to S.F. Claughton, at

         Drazof Industries
         PO Box 460, Port Credit Station
         Mississauga, Ontario   L5G 4M1
         Canada

Registered users will receive a disk with the latest version of the game 
plus an additional library file that allows play of the enhanced "motives" 
game.  Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.


License
=======

This program is shareware.  What this means is that you are free to try it
out for a period of 30 days, after which, if you continue to use it, you must
register your copy with Drazof Industries.

The registration fee of $15.00 U.S. or $20.00 Canadian allows the user to 
use the program on one computer at a time.  Multiple installations of one 
registered copy are allowed only if there is no possibility of the program 
being used on more than one of the machines at a time.  In other words, 
treat the software like a book.

Registered copies of WinDetective contain an additional file enabling some
advanced game features.  Inclusion of this additional file, wdt_mot.dll, 
turns the shareware archive copy into a registered archive copy.  You are
not allowed to make and distribute copies of the registered archive, with
the exception of a backup copy for yourself.

Please feel free to give away shareware copies of WinDetective to friends or
upload it to bulletin boards.  If you give away copies of WinDetective, the
disk or archive must contain all of the files listed in the File List, above, 
and no additional files.  For BBSs, Drazof Industries allows the addition of 
a small advertisement or notice of origin file for the BBS.

If you re-archive these files before uploading, the archive file must be 
named WDETCT10.ZIP.  If you use an alternative compression utility, the 
archive must be named WDETCT10.ARJ, or WDETCT10.LZH, etc.  The numbering 
scheme reflects Drazof Industries' major/minor versions, and must not be 
altered.

SYSOPS:  Please remove any archived copies of WinDetective from your boards
bearing any other name than WDETCT10.xxx, where xxx is the archive extension,
and ensure that the archive contents match the File List, above.


Disk Vendors
============

Disk Vendors may include the WinDetective game in their catalog subject to
the following:

1.  Customers are clearly informed of the concept of shareware and the
    fact that purchase of the disk does not constitute registration of
    the program.  The program must not be represented as public domain
    or free.

2.  The archive file is provided complete in accordance with the File List,
    above, and the archive contents are not altered in any way, although 
    recompressing with a different archiving utility is allowed, provided 
    that the archive name remains WDETCT10.  Drazof Industries allows the
    inclusion of a small (no more than one screen) advertisement or 
    notice-of-origin file for the disk vendor.

3.  No more than a reasonable fee, usually in the neighbourhood of $5 per
    disk, is charged for the distribution of the WinDetective shareware
    archive file.

4.  Disk Vendors must notify Drazof Industries of their inclusion of the
    WinDetective program in their catalog, and provide a copy of the catalog
    listing WinDetective.  Provision of a catalog is considered notification.
