Installation Instructions
-------------------------

 Please read the contents of VENDINFO.DIZ for the following information:

 - The "READ-ME" section contains a brief introduction to Simple Pleasures

 - The "Packing List" section shows all the files that you should have
   received as part of Simple Pleasures.  If any files are missing, contact
   the author for a complete program.

 - The "Installation" section provides complete instructions for installing
   Simple Pleasures to your hard disk.

 - The "Warranty" and "License" sections provide some boring but necessary
   legal mumbo-jumbo that you really should read.  Executive Summary:

    Simple Pleasures is shareware.  If you enjoy it, please support it by
    registering.


Hardware Requirements
---------------------

   Simple Pleasures requires:

    1. An IBM PC or compatible computer (80x86) with at least 512K of
       free conventional memory.  To see if you have enough memory, simply
       type "MEM" from the DOS command line.

    2. EGA or better graphics capability with at least 256K of video
       RAM.  This includes EGA, VGA, Super VGA (SVGA), and XGA adapters. Note
       that IBM's original VGA video card did not include enough memory to run
       at 640x350x16.

    3. A Microsoft mouse or 100% compatible pointing device.  I have
       tested this program with both Microsoft and Logitech mice, with
       excellent results.  I have received reports of other "off-brand"
       pointing devices causing problems.  If you have a mouse problem, try
       the following:

	 - Make sure your mouse driver is being loaded from your
           AUTOEXEC.BAT file when your system powers up.  This is required
           even if you run the program under Windows (which uses its own mouse
           driver for Windows programs).

	 - Make sure you have the latest driver for your mouse.  Check
           with the mouse manufacturer for details.  As of this writing, the
           latest Microsoft driver is 9.01, and the latest Logitech is 6.23.
           Even if you have a third-party mouse, these drivers will often work
           fine.  They can be acquired from most BBS's, or from the companies
           themselves.

    4. A non-write-protected device -- Simple Pleasures cannot be run
       from a write-protected floppy or from a CD-ROM disk.  It is recommended
       that you copy it to a directory on your hard disk.


Legalese
--------

   Simple Pleasures is shareware.  As such, you can play it, copy it, and give
   it away as you wish.  In fact, you are encouraged to distribute the program
   to friends, family, and strangers alike.  This includes distribution via
   electronic bulletin board systems (BBS), user's groups, and
   disk-distribution services.  All that I ask is that the package remains
   unaltered and complete, consisting of the files listed in VENDINFO.DIZ.

   The following files are required:

    SP.EXE ......... Simple Pleasures program
    SP.HLP ......... Simple Pleasures Help File
    SPPIC*.PIC ..... Simple Pleasures graphics files (1-8)
    CARDS.CD1 ...... Card Graphics
    CARDS.CD2 ...... Card Graphics

   The remainder of the files may be deleted if you're short on disk space.

   Refer to VENDINFO.DIZ file for complete distribution information.

   Simple Pleasures requires approximately requires 512K of memory, EGA or
   higher graphics capability, and a Microsoft-compatible mouse.  A hard disk
   is recommended.

   Standard Limited Warranty: This software is sold "as is", without any
    warranty as to performance or any other warranties whether expressed or
    implied.  Because of the vast number of possible hardware and software
    environments in which this software may be used, no warranty of fitness
    for a particular purpose is offered.  The user assumes the entire risk of
    using this program.  Any liability of the author will be limited to
    product replacement or the refund of the registration fee.

Registration
------------
 Simple Pleasures is shareware.  If you enjoy it, please support it.
 Registration is only $15 for all seven games, which gets you the a
 registration code good for all future updates of this program.

 The registration code allow you to change the program from a shareware
 version to a registered version.  Essentially, what this buys you is
 unlimited FREE updates.  If you acquire a newer version of Simple Pleasures
 from my web site, a bulletin board (BBS), or through a shareware disk
 distributor, you can convert the shareware version of the game to a
 registered version for your own use.

 In order to make registration fast and easy, I've contracted with a
 shareware registration service called Kagi.  They accept payments in cash
 (from many countries), checks (drawn on a US bank), money orders, credit
 cards, and an online form of payment called "First Virtual".

 If you'd like to register online, using your web browser:

   Go to http://order.kagi.com/?2Y6 and enter your credit card number. This is a
   secure web server, which means that the credit card information you enter is
   encrypted and secured against unauthorized use. You will be e-mailed the
   registration code within 48 hours.

 If you'd like to register by e-mail:

   Click the "Register..." button in the about box. This will launch the
   Kagi Register program.  Fill in the requested information, select a
   payment option, and e-mail the resulting form to "sales@kagi.com".
   You will receive your registration code within 1-3 days.  (Please note
   that your credit card number is sent in an encrypted form, and is not
   human-readable.  In other words, it's safe.)

 If you'd like to register by fax:

   Click the "Register..." button in the about box. This will launch the
   Kagi Register program.  Fill in the requested information, select a
   payment option, and fax the resulting form to "+1 510 652 6589".
   You will receive your registration code within 4-8 days.

 If you'd like to register by snail mail:

   Click the "Register..." button in the about box. This will launch the
   Kagi Register program.  Fill in the requested information, select a
   payment option, and mail the resulting form to the address shown on
   the registration form. You will receive your registration code within
   4-8 days, plus mailing time.

   If you don't have an e-mail address, you can request that a postcard
   containing the registration information be mailed to you.  This costs
   an extra $1.00, and of course increases the processing time.

 If you'd like to register by telephone:

   Call Kagi at +1 510-658-5244 and place your order by phone. Be sure
   to tell them the name of the program(s) you're registering, as well
   as, of course, your name, address, e-mail address, and payment info.


Registration Benefits
---------------------

 When you register Simple Pleasures, you will receive:

   1. A registration code that allows you to convert the shareware version
      of Simple Pleasures to a registered version.  This code is good for all
      future updates of Simple Pleasures.

   2. If you provide your Internet e-mail address, you'll receive
      notification of updated versions and new releases.

   3. The legal license to use the program beyond the initial 30-day evaluation period.

   4. The registered version does not have the short delay and "please
      register" message when exiting the program.

   5. And last but not least, the registered version will stop bugging
      you to register at the start of each game.  :)


Shareware vs. Registered Versions
---------------------------------

   The shareware version of Simple Pleasures is not crippled in any way -- it
   is complete and fully functional.  The only difference between the
   shareware and registered versions is that the shareware version displays a
   shareware reminder screen each time you run the program. This is just a
   gentle reminder that Simple Pleasures is shareware, and that if you play it
   you really should register it.


The First Time You Play
-----------------------

   When you run the program for the first time, you will be asked to enter
   your name, then you'll be shown the help and option menus (described
   elsewhere in this document).


The Player Selection Menu
-------------------------

   Simple Pleasures can accommodate up to ten players, keeping separate
   statistics and preferences for each player.  The player selection menu
   provides an easy way to choose and manage the players.  The player's names
   are shown along the left-hand side of the menu, with the currently-selected
   player's name highlighted and the statistics for that player displayed at
   the bottom of the screen.  The order of the names in the list will vary,
   with the current player at the top and the least- used player at the
   bottom.

   To select a new player, simply point and click on the desired name (the
   highlight will move to that name and the stats will be updated) and then
   click on the "OK" button.  The screen background and border colors will
   immediately change to the colors associated with the new player.

   The player selection menu is also a handy place to view and compare
   statistics for different players.  Just point and click on a player's name
   to see that player's stats.  You can click on the "Cancel" button to exit
   the menu.

   Clicking on the "Add Player" button brings up a dialog box where you can
   enter the new player's name, or press the "Esc" key to cancel.  Note that
   if you try to add a player when the menu is already full, the program will
   beep and inform you that it cannot accommodate more than ten players.  If
   you really want to add a new player, you'll have to delete an old one
   first.

   You can use the "Delete Player" button to remove the highlighted name, and
   will be asked to confirm before the deletion actually takes place.

   Clicking on the "Help" button will display a short summary of how to use
   the player selection menu.

   The player selection menu will be displayed automatically when the program
   is run (if there is more than one player to choose from), or can be
   accessed by selecting the "Change Player" button on the main menu screen.


The Help Menu
-------------

   The on-line help can be accessed by clicking on the "Help" button.  You can
   browse through the help text by clicking on the arrow buttons, or exit by
   selecting the "OK" button.

   Clicking the "Help" button from the main menu brings up information common
   to all the games, while the help screens in each of the individual games
   provides assistance specific to the current game.


The Options Menu
----------------

   You can access the options menu by selecting the "Options" button from the
   main menu or from within any of the games.  The parameters you can set from
   the options menu are:

    Sound Effects: The options here are "Sound Disabled", "Beeps &
     Blips", and "Beeps, Blips, & Tunes".  The first choice is pretty obvious
     -- if sound is disabled the program will be absolutely quiet. The other
     two choices might be thought of as partial and full sound, the only
     difference being that the "beeps, blips, and tunes" option will play some
     music when you win or lose a game.

    Session Statistics: If this is enabled, a box will pop up when you
     exit a game informing you of your "session stats" (i.e. how well you did
     during that round of games).

    Move Alert: If this is enabled, the program will alert you that more
     moves are possible.  This is handy for those of us who are sometimes too
     lazy to pay attention to the actual cards.

    Quick Deal: If this is disabled, the program adds small delays
     between each card dealt to improve the visual effect.  When Quick Deal is
     enabled, the program deals as fast as it can.  The difference will be
     most apparent on faster machines.

    Card Back: Simple Pleasures allows you to choose from several designs
     for the card back graphics.  To select a new back, just point at it and
     click the left mouse button.

    Background Color:  There are 64 choices for the background color --
     just click on the up-arrow and down-arrow to cycle through the numbers
     until you find one that appeals to you.

    Border Color: As with the background color, you can select from 64
     possibilities by using the up and down arrows next to the number.

   To accept and save all of the current option settings, click on the "OK"
   button.  The "Cancel" button exits the menu without changing anything, and
   the final button in the option menu, "Clear Scores ...", invokes the menu
   described in the next paragraph.


The Clear Scores Menu
---------------------

   This menu allows you to clear the scores for any or all of the games, and
   for one or all of the players.  You can click on the buttons next to the
   game numbers to select the games to clear.  The "OK" button clears the
   scores you have selected, the "Cancel" button exits without changing
   anything, and the "Help" button provides a brief summary of what you can do
   in the clear scores menu.


The Main Menu
-------------

   The main menu provides a means to select which of the games you want to
   play, as well as giving you access to the shareware screen (the "About ..."
   button), the player selection menu, the help menu, the option menu, and a
   way to exit the game (the "Quit" button).

   To play a game, simply point the one of the buttons with a games number on
   it (e.g. 10's) and click the left mouse button.


The Games ...
-------------

   The eight games in Simple Pleasures all share certain common features and
   attributes.  For one thing, they all share the same goal: to discard all
   the cards.  Of course, each game goes about that in a slightly different
   way, but they're all based on the concept of removing groups of cards whose
   sum matches the titles of the games (for example, in 10's you removed pairs
   that total ten).

   In addition to sharing similar rules and goals, each game uses the same
   interface, with the same on-screen buttons and objects.  These are:

    The Deck Box: This box displays the card back, the card faces as
     they're dealt, and the number of cards remaining in the deck.

    The "Move Alert" Box: This status box is displayed if the "move
     alert" option is enabled, and if any more moves are possible in the
     current game.

    The "Hint" Button: In case you become confused or stuck, clicking on
     this button will show you one possible move.  It will not show every
     move, and it may not show the optimal move, but it will show you a move
     that you can make.

    The "Undo" Button: Click on this button to take back your last move.
     Simple Pleasures remembers your last five moves and allows you to recall
     them.  This button can definitely be abused, but is intended as a sort of
     safety net for careless or ill-advised moves.

    The "Same Hand" Button: If the current game comes to an impasse, and
     you can see that you're going to lose, but think back and say "if only
     I'd made a different choice ten moves back I could have won", give this
     button a try.  The game you just played will still count against you, but
     instead of dealing a new hand, with new cards, you'll be given another
     chance at the hand you just lost.

    The "New Hand" Button: Click here to concede a hand and deal a new
     one in it's place.  If you haven't started a game (i.e. if the score is
     zero), you can deal a new hand without having the current game count
     against you.  Use this if the initial hand doesn't look too promising.

    The "Options" Button: Works the same as described earlier in this
     document.

    The "Help" Button: Works the same as described earlier in this
     document, except that game-specific, rather than general, help is
     provided.

    The "Main Menu" Button: Click here to return to the main menu.  If
     the "session statistics" option is enabled, your session stats for the
     current game will be displayed.

    The "Exit To DOS" Button: Click here to quit Simple Pleasures without
     going through the main menu.  If the "session statistics" option is
     enabled, your session stats for the current game will be displayed.

    The Score Box: This box displays your current score (the number of
     cards you've discarded), the number of games you've played, the number
     you've won (and percentage won), and your average score. Clicking on the
     score box will bring up the session stats box.

   Simple Pleasures is almost entirely mouse-driven, and uses the mouse
   buttons as follows:

    Left Mouse Button: Used to select the object being pointed to
     (normally a card or a button).

    Right Mouse Button: Normally this is used as an "Esc" key to exit a
     menu or dialog box.

    Middle Mouse Button: If you're using a three-button mouse, this
     button can be used to blank the screen.  This can also be accomplished by
     pressing the left and right buttons simultaneously.


How To Play: 10's
-----------------

   The layout is three rows of five columns each, and the object is to remove
   pairs of lower cards totaling ten, regardless of suit.  The upper cards
   (10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are removed in quartets of the same rank.

   These are the valid moves:

     9-A  8-2  7-3  6-4  5-5  K-K-K-K  Q-Q-Q-Q  J-J-J-J  10-10-10-10


How To Play: 11's
-----------------

   The layout is three rows by three columns, and the object is to discard
   pairs of cards totaling eleven.  Face cards are discarded in triplets --
   one Jack, one Queen, and one King, of any suits.

   These are the valid moves:

     10-A  9-2  8-3  7-4  6-5  J-Q-K


How To Play: 12's
-----------------

   The cards are dealt into eight piles of six cards each, with the remaining
   four cards going into a column on the right.  The object is to remove pairs
   of cards totalling twelve (Jacks counting as 11).  Queens and Kings are
   removed in pairs.  Only the top card of each pile is available for play,
   and once a space is created, it may not be filled.

   These are the valid moves:

   K-Q  J-A  10-2  9-3  8-4  7-5  6-6


How To Play: 13's
-----------------

   The cards are arranged as three columns of five cards each, and as cards
   are removed from the layout, cards "fall" into the holes, and new cards are
   dealt in from the top.  Cards are discarded in pairs that total thirteen,
   with Jacks counting as 11, and Queens as 12.  Kings are removed singly.
   Pairs to be discarded must be adjacent, either vertically, horizontally, or
   diagonally.

   When the entire deck has been dealt, and one of the columns becomes empty,
   you may move a card from the top of one of the remaining columns into the
   empty space.  To do so, simply select the card to move, then click where
   you want to move it.

   These are the valid moves:

    K  Q-A  J-2  10-3  9-4  8-5  7-6


How To Play: 14's
-----------------

   The initial layout is five cards at the top of the screen (which expand
   into columns as more cards are dealt) and two at the bottom.  The top card
   of each column, and the two cards at the bottom, are available for play.
   Remove pairs totaling fourteen, with Jacks counting as 11, Queens as 12,
   and Kings as 13.  When all possible moves have been made, click on the deck
   to deal another five cards.  If a space is created, the top of any other
   pile may be moved into the opening.  The two cards at the bottom may only
   be used once.

   These are the valid moves:

   K-A  Q-2  J-3  10-4  9-5  8-6  7-7


How To Play: 15's
-----------------

   The layout is three rows of four cards, and the object is to remove groups
   of cards that total fifteen.  Only the lower cards are available to be
   grouped into fifteens.  10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are removed in
   quartets of the same suit.

   The number of valid combinations in this game is too great to enumerate in
   this limited space ... experiment for yourself!


How To Play: 16's
-----------------

   The layout is four rows of five cards, and the object is to remove pairs of
   cards that total sixteen.  Jacks count as 11, Queens as 12, and Kings as
   13.  Aces and twos are removed in pairs.  In addition, cards to be removed
   must be adjacent, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

   These are the valid moves:

   K-3  Q-4  J-5  10-6  9-7  8-8  2-A


How To Play: 17's
-----------------

   The cards are dealt into ten piles of three cards each surrounding a row of
   three single cards.  The object is to remove pairs of cards that total
   seventeen.  Jacks count as 11, Queens as 12, and Kings as 13. Aces, twos,
   and threes are removed in triplets.  When one of the three cards in the
   center is used, it is replaced with a new card from the deck, until it is
   exhausted.  Cards in the outer piles are not replaced when they are
   removed.

   These are the valid moves:

   K-4  Q-5  J-6  10-7  9-8  A-2-3


Running Under Windows
---------------------

   Simple Pleasures is a DOS program, and was not written to be run from
   Windows.  That said, the game will generally run fine under Windows 3.x/
   Windows 95, or Windows NT.  The program must be run in full-screen mode and
   if you're running in 386 enhanced mode the "High Graphics" (under Advanced
   Options ...  Display Options ...  Monitor Ports in the PIF editor) should
   be turned off.  The included SP.PIF file should help. In addition, adding
   the following two lines to the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file may
   help improve performace of Simple Pleasures under Windows:

     TrapTimerPorts=off
     SyncTime=on

   I've also included a Simple Pleasures icon (SP.ICO) which you can use in
   the Program Manager.  There's no room here for all the details of setting
   up this program for Windows, but you should be able to figure it out (refer
   to the Windows manuals or online help for details).


Command-Line Options
--------------------

   /NC -- "No Cheat" option disables the F10 (abort) key.  Use this if you
	  find yourself unable to resist temptation.

   /Rxxx -- This option is used to convert the shareware version of Simple
            Pleasures to a registered version.  Refer to the "How To Use The
            Registration Code" section of this document for more information.

   /SW -- This option is used to convert a registered version to a
	  shareware version.

   filename.ext -- This option is for alternate data files (see discussion
		   below).


Alternate Data Files
--------------------

   Unless otherwise specified, Simple Pleasures uses SP.DAT as the name of the
   data file containing preferences and statistics for up to ten players.
   Normally, this is all you'll ever need, but in case you have more than ten
   players, you can provide the name of an alternate data file on the command
   line.  This also might be useful if several different groups of players
   want to use the same copy of SP, for example in a classroom situation.

   As a fer'instance, suppose three families each wanted to keep separate data
   files.  The Smith family could run the program with "SP SMITH.DAT" to use a
   data file called "SMITH.DAT", while the Jones family would start SP with
   "SP JONES.DAT" and  the Foster's would use "SP FOSTER.DAT".

   The file extension does not have to be "DAT" -- it can be whatever you
   want, as long as it is three letters or less.

Scoring
-------

   What is considered a good score?  Good question, and one I don't have a
   definitive answer to.  All I can really do is report what I've exper-
   ienced while playing the games myself.  These are my current stats:

	 Game    Games Played  Games Won  Winning %  Average Score
        ------   ------------  ---------  ---------  -------------
	 10's         190         70       36.84%       28.2947
	 11's         190         38       20.00%       22.4842
	 12's         190         61       32.11%       38.2316
	 13's         190         54       28.42%       32.5105
	 14's         190         44       23.42%       33.3684
	 15's         190         35       18.42%       23.9105
	 16's          85         39       45.88%       41.4118
	 17's          85         34       39.08%       36.3678


How To Use the Registration Code
--------------------------------

   (Registered Users Only!)

   This section describes the procedure that is used to convert a shareware
   version of Simple Pleasures to a registered version.  It can only be used
   after the player has sent in the registration form to the author and paid
   the registration fee.  As part of the registration package provided by the
   author, the player receives a "registration code".  The shareware version
   of Simple Pleasures may be converted to a registered version by running the
   program with an "/R" command-line switch, followed by the registration
   code, like this:

      SP /Rxxx

   You would, of course use the proper registration code in place of the
   "xxx".  Note also that there should be no space between the "R" and the
   registration code.  After running the game with  the /R switch and the
   proper code, you'll have a brand-spanking new registered version of the
   program.  What this essentially amounts to is unlimited, free updates with
   each registration!

   You can also enter the registration code by clicking on the "Register"
   button in the "About" dialog box.  This will bring up a second menu which
   allows you to select a registration code.

   The registration procedure has the following restrictions:

      1. The name of the EXE files must be SP.EXE.

      2. You cannot perform the registration procedure on a compressed
         version (i.e. an EXE file processed with PKLite, Diet, or LZEXE). The
         EXE file may be compressed after the registration procedure, but not
         before.

      3. Please do not distribute registered versions of the programs.

   Note: You can also change the program back to a shareware version by
         using the "/SW" command-line switch, or by clicking on the
         "Un-Register" button in the "About" dialog box.  This function is
         subject to the same restrictions as the registration procedure (i.e.
         the program must be properly named and uncompressed).  Please use
         this option to "un-register" the program if you wish to pass it along
         to anyone.  Also, please include all of the files listed under the
         "Legalese" section of this document.  Thanks.

 Solitaire Suite

   A collection of seven classic solitaire card games, including Calculation,
   Concentration, Idiot's Delight, Midnight Oil, Monte Carlo, Osmosis, and
   Royal Cotillion.  Requires EGA and a mouse.

 Pyramid Deluxe

   A SuperVGA version of the well-loved solitaire card game known as
   "Pyramid", this game is easy to learn, but difficult to win, and offers
   plenty of room for skillful play.  It features 640x480x256 graphics, hint
   mode, undo, demo mode, and full scoring statistics for up to ten players.
   Requires 386, SuperVGA and mouse.

 Four Seasons

   This game is also known as "Corner Card", "Four Corners", and "Vanishing
   Cross", and is an addictive solitaire game for Windows. It is a
   full-featured solitaire, with auto move, undo, high score lists, multimedia
   sound, and challenge scoring.  Requires Windows 3.x or later, and VBRUN300.DLL.
   A sound card is optional.

 Chinese Solitaire

   This is a great new game, suggested by a user, that combines the best
   elements of "Klondike" (probably the world's most popular solitaire) and
   "Scorpion" (a game that offers tremendous opportunity for skillful play).
   Chinese Solitaire includes full statistics, an "easy" mode, autoplay,
   selectable card backs and colors, great graphics, and excellent sound.  A
   highly addictive game!  Requires Windows 3.x or later, and VBRUN300.DLL.  A

 Mount Sunflower

   Another Randy Rasa original, this game has a lot in common with Chinese
   Solitaire, at least in terms of gameplay.  It also has great graphics and
   sound, and of course, lots of features such as selectable card backs and
   colors, full game statistics, and extensive online help.  That it's also
   quite fun and addictive goes without saying, perhaps (but I'll say it
   anyway).  Requires Windows 3.x or later, and VBRUN300.DLL.  A sound card is
   optional.

  Poker Squares

   A solitaire card game for Windows, also known as "Poker Solitaire", where

   sound, and lots of options.  Requires EGA and a mouse.  A sound card is
   optional.

 FoxFire 13 For Windows

   This is a Windows version of the popular DOS game of the same name. It also
