1.0 Latest changes
==================

Version 1.04:
    o Blackjack: The bet place in case of insurance is now flashing to show
      where to put the bet.
    o A new Memory allocation scheme is implemented to improve performance on
      slow machines
    o A cards can be assigned with an additional 'paper'.
    o Some new internal cardsets.
    o 3D Stacks in 2D.
    o Statistics added.
    o Gigantic cards (Square) has lead to an incorrect display.
    o The demo bitmap was incorrectly drawn after a manual computerplayer
      assignment.
    o After a lot of demands, I have added the 'DoubleClick' handling for
      assisted card moves (the right klick is still possible).
    o MauMau: Special rule "8 on 8" and "Jack on Jack" added.
    o Doppelkopf: Last trick will be shown until end of next round.
    o Solitaire 3 or 4 players: The positioning of stacks shows now the player -
      stack ownership.

Verison 1.03:
    o The GPF when using the right mouse button is removed.
    o The logic of Bauernskat is improved.
    o The network functionality was improved (again).
    o While changing the window size, a self assigned and smoothly scaled bitmap
      is not smooth scaled. This improves the resizing speed dramatically.
    o The 'H' key pops now the proper game help up, while the game is running.
    o The HiScore files are stored now in two different files, because the
      limit was reached...

Version 1.02:
    o The casino rules from Niedersachsen are included into BJ.
    o A new 'Modern' cardset is born!
    o Problems with the Demo-bitmap are removed.
    o The GPF with NT + the WinJack scaler is removed.
    o Doppelkopf: The special rule "the second dulle trumps" is working now.

Version 1.01:
    o All 2D special effects are using now my alpha blit routines -> much higher
      quality!
    o With 256colors I am using a simplified RGB model. This looks not too nice,
      but all effects can be also seen with 256 colors!

Version 1.00:
    o 17.4.1997: First version distributed to friends and beta testers

2.0 Known problems / tips & tricks:
===================================
    o The game seems to be very slow.------------------------------------------
       You have possibly not enough physical memory. Try to decrease your
       memory requirements by ...
          o Disable the 3D display
          o Shrink your game window
          o Use one of your internal card designs - new cards(!!)
          o Set the card lift off height to 0
          o Deactivate the display of 3D stacks
          o Do not use sound
          o Deactivate the WinJack scaler (High quality scaling)
          o Deactivate 'animated cursors'
       If you are rich on memory (32 megs or above), you can try to increase the
       use of memory for cached card-images. Currently a maximum of 6% from the
       physical memory will be used for caching. You can in/de-crease this
       value to whatever you like with:
            [Ctrl]
            ChacheSizeInPercent=??      (6 is default)
    o The double click does not work in network games.-------------------------
       This feature depends on user changable time, and is therefore not
       possible within a network game.
    o The network game don't want to run.--------------------------------------
       o YOU HAVE TO INSTALL on EACH machine the same version of Direct Play!!
         USE THE DIRECT PLAY Play 5a Version from our support CD (simply insert
         the support CD into your drive and select "install direct play")!
       o If you have any other networking stuff running (eMail programs, web
         browser, etc.): close this applications first!
       o Make sure, that you have only selected as many players in your network
         window, as local players want to play on that machine! All other
         players has to be marked as '-- not local --'
    o You can't see the other computers in a network game.---------------------
       o Edit the WinJack.ini file and change the entry
            [Ctrl]
            NetTimeOut=<timout in ms>
         to 0 or a value bigger than 2000.
    o Joystick control 'absolut' is unstable.----------------------------------
       The physical joystick hardware is implemented very cheap in the most
       cases. Soundeffects for example may move the racket a little bit
       randomly.
    o No second mouse support with Windows NT.---------------------------------
    o WinJack does not run with Windows 32s (extension to Windows 3.x)!-------
