HangMan V2.0 - (C) M Avey 1995
------------------------------

This program is a major re-write of my original HangMan program for the
Psion series 3a. Enhancements over the original version include:-

* Now a type 2 application and therefore lists the category file names
  below the application icon. New files can be created by using the
  Psion-N keys
  
* Improved graphics and user interface

* New category files can be created as above, from within the program, or
  by using the built-in Data application, or another third-party application,
  such as JBData
  
* Words can be deleted from or added to category files from within the
  program, or using other applications as noted above
  
* Multiple words now supported, up to 29 characters including spaces

* Game statistics show number of games played, number of games won and
  percentage won
  
* Format function within program to remove all invalid words from
  categories

* Extensive category information provided

* Extensive on-line help available for all functions

* Demo version supplied with a number of category files, including a 2,000
  word general category. Registered version includes 18,000 additional
  words split across 9 categories to allow for easy storage. You can just
  keep the required categories on your machine as and when needed. Alterna-
  tively, the files can be merged together. Additional category files are
  under construction, including a 3,000+ Film's category
  
Installation
------------
The files should be UnZipped using the -d option, to ensure that files
are extracted into the correct directories. The location of files is as
follows:-
 
File                            Location
----                            --------
HANGDEMO.OPA                    Any directory (normally App)
*.HMD                           OPD\HANGMAN\HMD on any drive
All other files                 OPD\HANGMAN on any drive

Once copied onto the Psion, use Psion-I to install the program.

Instructions on how to play the game, as well as other information, such as
creating new category files, adding to and deleting from existing ones, can
be found in the on-line Help which is available from within the program.

STOP PRESS
----------

As a bonus, and so you can see what multi-word category files play like,
I've now included a sub-set of the Movies category file. Copy MOVIES.HMD to
the OPD/HANGMAN/HMD directory. The full version will be made available to
registered users.
