			    HOYLE CASINO '98
	    		README INSTALLATION NOTES
				2/10/98

What the patch fixes:

This patch fixes the bug where you always get assigned $5000 when you 
start a blackjack game, instead of retaining the actual amount of money 
you have.

*The patch files must be installed to the same directory as Hoyle Casino '98.

If you have down loaded this patch from the Internet:
 This patch is a self extracting file. When you double click on c98bjfix.exe 
it will automatically extract the patch files to C:\SIERRA\CASINO98. If 
you have installed the game to a custome directory, you wil have the
opportunity to modify the path on the second screen of the install routine.

If you  have a problem unpacking the files, you can try extracting them into a
temporary directory, and them copying them into your game directory. You 
can copy and paste files in Windows using Windows Explorer(Win95) or 
File Manager (Win 3.1). 

If you have received this patch on diskette:
 Copy all of the files to your Hoyle Casino '98 game 
directory.  For example, if you installed the game into your C: drive 
in a directory called C:\SIERRA\CASINO98 and the patch files are 
on a disk in your A: drive, at the dos prompt you would type the 
following:
 
C: [ENTER]
CD\SIERRA\CASINO98 [ENTER]
COPY A:*.* [ENTER]

When asked to overwrite <Yes,No,All>, enter Y for Yes.

* You can now return to Windows and click on the Hoyle Casino icon 
in the Sierra group and enjoy playing the game.
