                       Hearts as an application
                  within the Windows 3.x environment
                --------------------------------------



     Hearts works quite well as a "Non-Windows Application"  from
     within  the  Windows 3.x environment.  It must be noted that
     Hearts is not a "Windows Application", but a  separate  .EXE
     file  that can be started and used from within Windows.  The
     following two files, supplied with Hearts,  provide  Windows
     with  information  it needs on the location of Hearts within
     your system, its operating needs, and the Icon  to  use  for
     Hearts.  These two files are copied for you as part  of  the
     Hearts install service.

          HEARTS.PIF  (Program Information File)
          HEARTS.ICO  (Hearts Icon)

     If you did not install Hearts  using  its  built-in  install
     facility,  you  need  to  copy  both  of  these files to the
     directory location on you computer where  Hearts  is  stored
     (e.g.,  C:\GAMES\HEARTS).   The  following  is an example of
     what this DOS command line might look like.

          COPY HEARTS.PIF C:\GAMES\HEARTS
          COPY HEARTS.ICO C:\GAMES\HEARTS

     Please  note  that  you  may  need  to  change the drive and
     directory information (C:\GAMES\HEARTS) to the location  you
     have established on your computer for Hearts.

     Hearts  and Windows must be installed on you computer before
     proceeding with the following installation steps.

     Note:  The following two installation steps are accomplished
            from  within  the  Windows environment.  This text is
            not meant to be a tutorial but  merely  outlines  the
            procedures  required to install a working application
            for Windows.  A  general  working  knowledge  of  the
            Windows  environment  is  helpful in the installation
            process.  Please consult your  Windows  User's  Guide
            for  any  specific information or commands you do not
            understand.  Both of these steps are  performed  from
            the  Windows'  "Program  Manager"  and  all  words in
            quotes (" ") are as they appear in Windows 3.x.

     Establishing Hearts as a "Non-Windows Application"
     --------------------------------------------------

     Please note that for each occurance  of  [location]  in  the
     following  outline  you  need  to type the correct drive and
     directory location to which you have installed Hearts.   The
     default    location    supplied    with   these   files   is
     C:\GAMES\HEARTS.

          Examples:  C:\GAMES\HEARTS\HEARTS.EXE
                     C:\GAMES\HEARTS\HEARTS.PIF
                     C:\GAMES\HEARTS\HEARTS.ICO


     Start Windows 3.x

     From the "Program Manager" window

        *  Click on the "Games" icon

        *  Pull-Down "File" from the "Program Manager" menu bar

        *  Click "New"

        *  From the "New Program Object" dialog box

           -  Select "Program Item"

           -  Click "OK"

        *  From the "Program Item Properties" dialog box

           -  For "Description:" type -->  Hearts

           -  Press <TAB>

           -  For "Command Line:" type -->  [location]\HEARTS.PIF
               (example:  C:\GAMES\HEARTS\HEARTS.PIF)

     ------------------------------------------------------------
        *  For Windows 3.1 only

           -  For "Working Directory:" type -->  [location]
               (example:  C:\GAMES\HEARTS)
     ------------------------------------------------------------




     Establishing Hearts as a "Non-Windows Application" (cont.)
     ----------------------------------------------------------

           -  Highlight and Click "Change Icon"

           -  From the "Select Icon" dialog box

              +  For "File Name:" type -->  [location]\HEARTS.ICO
                  (example:  C:\GAMES\HEARTS\HEARTS.ICO)

              +  Click "OK"

           -  Click "OK"

     This completes the first step in the installation of Hearts.


     Changing the Program Information File (HEARTS.PIF)
     --------------------------------------------------

     The  only information you may need to change in the PIF file
     is the location on your computer where  you  have  installed
     Hearts.   The  rest  of  the  information  in  this  file is
     established based on the operational requirements of  Hearts
     and Windows and should not be changed.  The default settings
     in  the dialog boxes for the HEARTS.PIF file supplied are as
     follows:

        1)  "Program Filename:"    --> HEARTS.EXE
        2)  "Window Title:"        --> Hearts
        3)  "Optional Parameters:" -->
        4)  "Start-up Directory:"  --> C:\GAMES\HEARTS

     Items 1 and 4 may need changing based  upon  the  drive  and
     directory  location  of Hearts on your computer.  If this is
     the case, then the following steps  are  used  to  edit  the
     HEARTS.PIF file.

     From the "Program Manger" window

      For Windows 3.0

        *  Click on the "Accessories" window

      For Windows 3.1

        * Click on the "Main" window




     Changing the Program Information File  (cont.)
     ----------------------------------------------

        *  Select and Click the "PIF Editor" Icon

           -  Pull-down "File" from the "PIF Editor" menu bar

              +  Click "Open"

              +  From the "Files" selection box select HEARTS.PIF

                 Change the following two dialog boxes

                 1) "Program Filename:" --> [location]\HEARTS.EXE
                      (example:  C:\GAMES\HEARTS\HEARTS.EXE)

                 Press  <TAB>  <TAB>  <TAB>

                 4) "Start-up Directory:" --> [location]
                      (example:  C:\GAMES\HEARTS)

           -  Pull-down "File" from the "PIF Editor" menu bar

              +  Click "Save"

           -  Pull-down "File" from the "PIF Editor" menu bar

              +  Click "Exit"

     This concludes the steps necessary to install  Hearts  as  a
     "Non-Windows Application" for Windows 3.x.
