MONOPLY- THE GUILTWARE VERSION
                                by Jesse Welsh
                            and Nublet Productions
                           the obligatory README.1ST

                     Included Files/Guiltware information
- System requirements- just a 80286 or better, a VGA (or better) monitor, and
the standard 640K of RAM should be all you need.
- MONOGLT.ZIP should contain the following: 
        SANS.CHR......font file
        LITT.CHR......font file
        TRIP.CHR......font file
        VGAEGA.BGI....binary graphics file
        MONOPLY.ICO...Windows icon
        MONO.CFG......configuration file
        MONOCFG.EXE...edits game speed/sound configuration
        MONOGLT.EXE...the game
        README.1ST....you're soaking in it!
- All of these files are vital to the game and if any are missing, the game
will not start up.  In addition, since this is the GUILTWARE version, you are
entitled to enjoy this game for up to 90 days after which point the game will
not run.  To order the registered version, just send $5.00 (U.S.) to:

                Scarborough, Me. 04074

- Make checks payable to Jesse Welsh, orders should be received in about 4-6
weeks.  The registered version, which includes trading, game load and save
features, ability to select up to 4 players and their attributes, (computer or
human) and a couple of cheats can be yours for this wicked low price.


                          Playing Tips/Instructions

- Since this is the guiltware version, you cannot change the number of players
or whether or not they are human or computer.
- You can't mortgage properties with houses on them and vice-versa.  You can
trade mortgaged properties, but they will remain mortgaged- the new owner must
pay off the mortgage.
- When buying houses, you must: 1) own all the properties of that color, 2)
you are required to build evenly, i.e. each property must have the same number
of houses on it.
- Arrow keys and highlighted (i.e. [R]oll would mean 'R' can be used) keys
can be used in all menus except when trading or mortgaging.  These only allow
use of the arrow keys.  The ESCAPE key can be used in most menus to go back
and can be used at the main menu to leave the game. 
- If you go bankrupt at any point, you have until the end of your turn to get
out of the hole. (by mortgaging or making trades)  If you're still in the hole
at the end of your turn, all your holdings (props, houses) are taken by the
bank and put up for sale.
- The game ends when all human players have lost. (the computer players really
don't care which of THEM win.)
- Computer players don't accept trades. (#@*@! electronic jerks!)
- Game loading and saving are only available in the registered version.
- Any payments made to chance, community chest, income tax, luxury tax, or to 
get out of jail will add to the Free Parking jackpot.


Hopefully, everything else is pretty self-explanitory, I know how annoyingly
insulting these readme files can sometimes be.  Enjoy the game, and I, of
course, encourage you to register.  A starving college student has to work
pretty hard for cash, and it'd be nice to get some off this time-usurping
project.
