INSTALLATION:

This program was written in Visual Basic. It requires 
Windows 3.0 or later and the VBRUN100.DLL module.

While it can be run on a stand-alone PC, this program
was designed to be run on a LAN. Because of that, certain
'stealth' features were built into it. It was designed so 
that it can be installed in a public LAN directory, but
only those who know what it is and how to run it can access
it.

The first stealth feature is the program's name (WB2VOVL).
If you put a program named WINBATTL or BATTLSHIP on a public
LAN directory, people will notice! This name is vague enough
that people won't be sure what it is. If you are running on
a stand-alone PC, you can rename it to any name you like.

The second stealth feature is the lack of an icon. If you 
minimize this game or if you put this .EXE in a group, a generic 
empty screen type icon is displayed. Once again, so someone poking
around won't discover what it is. A real Battleship .ICO file is 
included if you want to add it to your Windows configuration.

The final stealth feature is in running the program. If someone
executes the WB2VOVL.EXE program from the public LAN directory, a 
dummy Windows error dialog box is displayed. The only button is an 
'OK' button, which ends the program. There are two ways around this.
If you put 'BB2' on the command line after WB2VOVL.EXE, the dummy 
error screen will be skipped and the real game screen will display. 
If you are already at the dummy error screen, you can bypass it by 
keying in: BB2. Do not hit enter or any other keys, just: BB2. If you
are running on a stand-alone PC, add the BB2 password to the command
that executes the program. Example: WB2VOVL.EXE BB2

To install for LAN play, just copy the WB2VOVL.EXE program to a LAN
directory accessable by anyone who wants to play the game. Then, anyone
who wants to play, can run it from the LAN directory. Instructions
on how to play over the LAN are in the HELP menu selection of the program.

To install for stand-alone play, just copy to any sub-directory and run
the program from Windows. Add the BB2 password on the command line.

Instructions on how to play are in the HELP menu selection in the program.
