1. Go-Moku 2.0 Package

Full package must include following files:

        GOMOKU.EXE              - Program itself
        GOMOKU.HLP              - Windows Help File
        GOMOKU.USR              - User Registration File

                                  This file is placed on public
                                  domain, so you can download it
                                  from most ftp archives
        THREED.VBX              - Custom control file

Please, ensure that you have the full package of required files. If  you
don't, please contact the author at the address given at the end of this
document.



2. Go-Moku 2.0 Installation
---------------------------

Place all the required files (that are listed above)  in one  directory,
say, C:\GAMES\GOMOKU. From  your  Windows  Program  Manager  select  New
option from pool-down menu. Enter all information (path) or  use  Browse
button.

Note:
This game requires file VBRUN300.DLL and will not work without it.  This
file is  of  size  398 Kb,  and  so  not  included  with  this  package.
VBRUN300.DLL is placed on public domain so you  may  download  it  from,
say, ftp.cica.indiana.edu (MS Windows archive). Alternatively,  you  may
contact the author  (refer to section 6 on my  address  or  E-mail)  and
request this file to be delivered to you via some ways suitable  to you.
Also, file GOMOKU.ZIP containing VBRUN300.DLL is placed on the following
ftp-anonymous site and may be downloaded from there:

Where ------->   Melbourne, Australia
Site -------->   brain.physics.swin.oz.au
IP Number --->   136.186.27.10
How --------->   via anonymous ftp login
Directory --->   /pub/kig/gomoku/gomoku2i.zip

The gomoku-package on  this site is an installation pack.  You only need
to run SETUP.EXE, and follow all prompts. The rest is done automatically.
Letter "i" in gomoku2i.zip stands for "installation". The above directory
will also contain gomoku2.zip, which consists of compressed files listed
in section 1 excluding, however, VBRUN300.DLL. The directory listing  is
presented below:

	gomoku2  zip        67,216 04-09-94   8:17p
	gomoku2i zip       366,037 04-09-94   8:22p

Please note, that this site will always contain the LATEST  unregistered
version of the game.



3. User Registration file GOMOKU.USR
------------------------------------

Go-Moku is marketed  under  Shareware  Concept  (for  more  details  see
corresponding  section  in  Help  File).  No  copy  protection  is  made
whatsoever. However, one action taken to preserve priority of registered
users - is encrypted name and registration number contained in the  file
GOMOKU.USR. When you start Go-Moku, the program reads  user  information
data from this encrypted file.

Any attempt to edit/change/delete/rename this file will surely result in
a message "User Registration File is corrupt"  and  inability  to  start
Go-Moku.

You may see this message if your DIRECTORY settings in Progam Manager is
incorrectly set. Go-Moku will try to find GOMOKU.USR file and will fail.
If you'll see "File not found" message, please check the directory  set-
ting in your Windows Program Manager.

If something happens to this file  and  Go-Moku  does  not  start,  then
registered  users  are  advised  to   reinstall   Go-Moku   from   disk;
unregistered users may request either registered (with  appropriate  fee
included) or trial copy of the game by writing  to  the  author  at  the
address given below.




4. Distribution
---------------

You are encouraged to distribute this program for non-commercial use  if
distribution is intact, unmodified, en masse, and as long as no  fee  is
charged for such distribution. If at all possible, please distribute the
original ZIP file, which should include files listed above.
