INTRODUCTION

  Hello All.  This is my first Windows 95 application.  In fact, this
is my first "Windows" application period.  This program is really just
my attempt at learning Windows (and especially Microsoft Foundation Classes) 
programming so don't expect too much from it.  I feel I have learned a lot 
from this application and I hope that others will also benefit from it.
I had seen a similar version of Hangman for Windows 95 and I figured it
would be very easy to implement (i.e. there is no game AI involved) and 
at the same time be a good learning experience.  I was right in both
regards.  It took me a little less than a month to produce the code you have
now using Visual C++ 4.0 and MFC 4.0.  Coming from the UNIX world, I am 
happy with my first Windows program and I hope it can be of some benefit to 
programmers who are new to Windows and MFC.
  If you like the code/game, please e-mail me as I would very much
like to hear your suggestions/comments.  If you don't like it, oh well,
please no flames.  Haha.

INSTALLATION

  To install Hangman32, I suggest that you use WinZip 32-bit to unzip
the entire zip file into a directory of your choice.  By using WinZip 32-bit,
you will preserve the long file names.  If you use another program to unzip
the file be sure to use one that preserve the Windows 95 long file names, 
otherwise, if you want to use Visual C++ it will probably be a problem without
the long file names being preserved.  
  After you have unzipped the file, I suggest using the Windows Explorer to
create a shortcut to the game in your Games folder.  The executable's file name
is Hangman32.exe.  There are two other files that are vital to the proper
execution of the program.  They are hangman.dic (the dictionary that is
loaded upon execution) and HANGMAN32.HLP (the help file).  If you
have no use for the source code then it is safe to delete all other files 
besides the three just mentioned.
