                         SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

This program requires an IBM compatible computer (640K) and EGA with 
256 k of ram on the card as a minimum.  A 286 or 386 computer is best,  
an 8088 is O.K., better if it runs 8 mhz.  Slower CPUs will work, but
since this program is graphics intensive, screen updates may be slower 
than desired.  A hard disk is required and a disk caching program will 
greatly speed file loads.

                         FRIDAY NIGHT POKER
                               VER 1.0                        
 
                               SET UP

Copy all *.zip files to your hard disk.  I recommend copying the files 
to a separate directory of your choice.  If your source disk is in A: 
drive, I recommend the following.
                                    
          1. make a directory on C: Drive (MD GAMBLERS)   
          2. switch to A: Drive           (A:)
          3. copy all files               (COPY *.* C:\GAMBLERS)
          
     If you want to use a different Drive than C:, just substitute
     the Drive letter you want to use for C:

                           HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM

Before the program can be used, you must "unzip" all the files.  This will
require the "PKZIP" program.  type the following......
          
          1. pkunzip fnpoker.zip
          2. pkunzip pokerlib.zip

Now all that is required is that you type "G" and the GAMBLERS AND MONEY 
GRUBBERS program will start.  FRIDAY NIGHT POKER is selection number 2.  
selected by pressing "2" OR by moving the selection box to number 2
with the arrow keys or mouse and pressing enter or the left mouse button.
FNPOKER will start to execute.  NOTE: The game is not designed to start 
by typing FNPOKER.EXE at the command line.  This will start the program,
but will not allow you to enter your name or save your score, plus the 
program will be running in the "auto play" mode.  To escape from this mode
you must press "A".

                            GENERAL GAME INFO

The game table is set up so that the dealer always sits to the back left,
player #2 is back right, player #3 is front right, and you sit front left.

                 dealer                        player #2
                     ------------------------------
                  /                                  \
                /                                      \
                -----------------------------------------             
           your position                            player #3 

The dealer always deals to his left first.  Player #2 is always given the
first chance to bet.  Once a bet is on the table, any subsequent player may
raise.  Once the pot is right, the dealer will deal the next card.  The 
winner is determined by the standard priority of poker hands using only the
best 5 cards to make a hand.

                               Ver 1.0

Although this game has no socially redeeming value, it may provide some
manner of diversion for those predisposed to masochism.  The game consists
of a sadistic wager maker and a trusting player who apparently doesn't mind
doing your bidding.  If you think you are lucky enough, place a wager (your 
money against the trusting players fingers) that the cigarette lighter will 
light.

                               SET UP

Copy all *.zip files to the same directory you have GAMBLERS AND MONEY 
GRUBBERS in.  Before you can use the program you must "unzip" the

screen of FRIDAY NIGHT POKER, just choose the KNUCKLES option.  Once the game 
is up and running, you will sign in with your name.  You are then presented
with the following options.

	1. TIMED LIGHTS:  This option allows you to try to get the lighter
        to light a specified number of times before the timer runs out.  The
        more money you bet the harder it becomes to be successful.  It doesn't
        matter how many times the lighter fails to light as long as it does
        light the required number of times before the timer runs out.
 
	2. SEQUENTIAL LIGHTS:  This option allows you to try to light the
        lighter the number of times specified without a missing a light.  
        You should adjust your lighter to the best gas height and strike
        time to minimize chances of a miss light.  No time limit applies,
        but all lights must be successful sequentially in order to collect
        the money and avoid the ax from falling on you trusting players 
        finger.

                                GAME HELP
   
A help screen is accessible during game play at any time by pressing the "H"
