                         SHOTOVER Kings  -  Version 2.5


SHOTOVER Kings allows you to play "The King's Game" on your computer. The unusal
feature of the program is that it starts with no knowledge of how to win. As
it plays it gradually learns and will eventually prove difficult to beat.

Kings does not need a human opponent in order to learn its strategy. It can also
learn by playing games against itself. To facilite this, it can be run as a
screen saver, which is able to continue learning when you leave the computer
unattended.

To install Kings, all you have to do is run the program INSTALL.EXE from Windows.

If you install Kings as a Screen Saver, it does not automatically replace
your existing screen saver.  You will need to Select it from the Desktop section
of the Control Panel if you are using Windows 3.xx, or the Display section of the
Control Panel in My Computer if you are using Windows 95. (Refer to your Windows
documentation if you do not know how to Select a Screen Saver).

Use the "Help" button, when running the program, to learn all about Kings.
