Poker Squared runs on any ST platform with a monochrome monitor. If you are 
using a Mega STe please disable the CPU cache and run at 16 or 8 mhz.

If you enjoy solitaire, and you like poker, then you're gonna love this game!
Twenty five cards are dealt, one at a time into a square on the right side 
of the game board. You must decide where to place each card on a grid of 
twenty five squares. Just point and click the mouse! You want to create
ten possible poker hands. Five up and down, five side to side and two hands
diagonally. After the last card fills the grid, the computer will calculate
each row and your score will increase depending on how high a poker hand you
have.  
                      Royal flush            899 points
                      Straight flush     790-798 points
                      Four of a kind     689-677 points 
                      Full house         307-475 points 
                      Flush              294-306 points 
                      Straight           284-293 points 
                      Three of a kind    270-283 points 
                      Two pair            99-267 points 
                      One pair            86-98  points 
                      High card           71-83  points 
               Three ACE'S score higher then three TWO'S, etc.

After the ST calculates a hand, it creates a button representing the poker 
ranking and flashes the current hand for your approval. You can watch your 
score increasing as each hand is calculated and if you beat the high score it 
will be saved to disk for the next time you play. Delete the file called      
POKERSQR.DAT to reset the high score to 999. Before you start the next game
you can review your hands by clicking any of the buttons created on the left 
side of the game board. Hit the right mouse button to review the point count 
for each hand.
