 ****************************************************

 Installation:

 (1) Close any other programs you are running.  If you
     have ICQ, make sure it is shut off.
 (2) Read the rest of the readme file below.  
 (3) Close this window to continue.

 Important: WordZap requires Microsoft Direct Play to 
 run.  Direct Play comes with Windows 98 and is
 installed by Mplayer and many Internet products.  If
 you do not have Direct Play you will get the message
 "Can't find DPLAYX.DLL"  To fix this, go to our down-
 load page at http://wordzap.com/download.html and
 download and install Direct Play and try again.
