This mjreadme.txt file forms part of this zip file.

This file contains release notes, installation information and
information about error messages for Mah Jongg for Windows.

The following files are contained in this zip file:

	mahjongg.exe	The program main executable file
	mahjongg.hlp	Windows help file
	tiles.dll	Library containing tile images
	bwcc.dll	Borland custom controls
	mjreadme.txt	This file

If you have the Borland bwcc.dll file already installed in your 
Windows\System directory and it is not older than the one included 
in this zip file, then you don't need the Borland bwcc.dll file from 
this zip file.

System Requirements:
	Microsoft Windows (TM) version 3.10 or higher.

Installing Mah Jongg for Windows:

	Create a new directory in your favorite games directory called 
	mahjongg or whatever name you fancy. 

	Extract or copy all the files from this zip file to the directory
	you have just created. You can move the Borland file to your 
	Windows\System directory if you like, so other programs can access 
	this file too. 

	In Windows, open File Manager and Program Manager side by side. You 
	now need to drag the file mahjongg.exe from File Manager to a program 
	group in Program Manager. For example, if you already have a "games" 
	program group in Program Manager you might like to add the mahjongg.exe
	file to this group.  

	Now double click on the newly created icon for mahjongg in the program
	group and off you go - you are ready to play!

Removing Mah Jongg for Windows:

	Just delete the files; mahjongg.exe, mahjongg.hlp, tiles.dll, 
	mjreadme.txt. In the case of the Borland bwcc.dll file only 
	delete if it is NOT in your Windows\System directory.

	Mah Jongg for Windows also creates its own initialization file 
	called mahjongg.ini in your Windows directory. You can safely
	delete this file.

If you are unlucky Mah Jongg for Windows might show one of the following
error messages:

1	Can't find "TILES.DLL"
	Solution:	Move TILES.DLL, MAHJONGG.HLP, MJREADME.TXT and 
			MAHJONGG.EXE all to the same directory.

2	You are using an old version of "BWCC.DLL".
	Copy the version from the Mah Jongg zip file to your 
	Windows\System directory. Mah Jongg will now exit.
	Solution:	Make sure that the correct version of BWCC.DLL is
			loaded in memory. If the copy of BWCC.DLL that came
			with the Mah Jongg zip file is newer than the copy
			found in your Windows or Windows\System directory,
			then copy the version from the Mah Jongg zip file
			to your Windows\System directory and delete any copies
			found in your Windows directory. Try running Mah Jongg
			again. If the problem remains then you have to search 
			all directories listed after the "PATH=" and possibly
			"SET PATH=" statements in your autoexec.bat file and
			your Windows and Windows\System directory for copies of 
			BWCC.DLL. Close all applications except Program Manager
			and File Manager. Make backup copies of all versions on
			a floppy disk and include information from which directory 
			a particular copy came from. Delete any versions of this
			DLL in your Windows directory and copy the newest version
			you can find of this DLL to your Windows\System directory.
			Try running Mah Jongg again. If the problem still remains,
			then delete all versions of this DLL on your system,
			except for the copy in your Windows\System directory.
			Mah Jongg should run now.

3	Sorry... You are using a version prior to Windows 3.1. Mah Jongg needs
	Windows 3.1 or higher. Mah Jongg will now exit.
	Solution:	I'm afraid you'll have to install a version of Microsoft
			Windows (TM) newer than the version you have now. Versions
			onwards from 3.10 should run Mah Jongg properly.

4	Mah Jongg has a problem allocating memory. Free up memory by closing
	other applications. Mah Jongg will now exit.
	Solution:	The memory on a computer is limited. Other applications
			have taken up so much of it that Mah Jongg can't get enough
			to run properly. Close all applications you're not working
			on at the moment and try running Mah Jongg again.

5	Could not Create Timer
	Solution:	There are only a limited number of timers in Windows.
			Other applications have taken up so many of them that
			Mah Jongg can't get the two timers needed to run properly. 
			Close all applications you're not working on at the moment
			and try running Mah Jongg again.

6	Error opening Help. Can't find "mahjongg.hlp". Make sure it is in the same
	directory as mahjongg.exe.
	Solution:	Move TILES.DLL, MAHJONGG.HLP, MJREADME.TXT and MAHJONGG.EXE
			all to the same directory.

You can contact me if problems persist, see Ordering Information in "mahjongg.hlp" 
on how to contact me.
