How to set up the unregistered version of PUZZLER! ================================================== Create a directory such as C:\PUZZLER and copy puzzshwr.exe, puzzler.hlp, stars.bmp and sample.pzl files into it. Two other files - COMMDLG.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX should reside in your windows system directory (usually c:\windows\system). These may alreay be in your windows\system directory depending on the other applications you have loaded on your PC, but if not, copy them there. Finally, you must have VBRUN300.DLL in your windows system directory as well. This file has not been included in puzzler.zip because it is generally available. If you do not have VBRUN300.DLL check your BBS. It is widely available for download (it is the Visual Basic run time dll). Once the files are in place, just double click on PUZZSHWR.EXE in file manager to launch the program. You may also create a program group item in program manager the usual way. One other method is to choose FILE - RUN in program manager (or file manager) and type c:\puzzler\puzzshwr.exe. Thank you for trying PUZZLER!
