CRYPTO 95 is written in Visual Basic 3.0 for operation within
Windows 3.x.  It requires a mouse.  I have tested the program on   
a machine as slow as a 386 16 mghz PC, and it runs fine.  It does 
load a little slowly on that machine, however.

The following files are required to run CRYPTO 95:

  CRYPTO95.EXE  -- This is the executable file, the program itself.
  
  SET0.CRY      -- This file contains your free set of 100 cyptograms,
                   5 from each of the other twenty sets that are
                   available.
  
  N1.CRY        -- These are the pattern word lists used for pattern
  N2.CRY           matching analysis.  The nomenclature is informantive:  
     |             e.g. 7 letter pattern words are stored in N7.CRY.  
  N14.CRY          Patterns words having 14 or more letters are stored
                   in N14.CRY.

  VBRUN300.DLL  -- This is the library of Visual Basic tools


The following files are required to run the setup program.  The setup
program merely writes the files to a user-specified directory, and 
places an icon in Windows.

  SETUP95.EXE   -- This program copies the files to a user defined 
                   directory and installs the appropriate icons
                   in WINDOWS.

  SETUPKIT.DLL  -- This file contains the Visual Basic tools for 
                   the setup program 
                   

The following files are created by CRYPTO 95:

  PROFILE.CRY   -- This dataset keeps track of the latest USER and
                   latest puzzle set being used.  This file is 
                   created automatically by CRYPTO 95 the first time
                   the program is run.

  JOHN.USR      -- Files with the .USR suffix are user files.  A user
  YOU.USR          file is automatically created for each user of
  XXX.USR          CRYPTO 95.  The file keeps track of which puzzles
  DUMMY.USR        each user has solved.
     
  TARGET.CRY    -- These files are automatically created by CRYPTO 95.
  OK.CRY           They are used for copy protection for the additional
                   cryptogram puzzle sets.
  

The following files can be ordered by the user:

  SET1.CRY      -- These are the twenty additional puzzle sets that
  SET2.CRY         can be ordered.
     |
  SET20.CRY

COPY PROTECTION

None of the files provided in the distribution disk are copy
protected.  The additional puzzle sets are copy protected.

The additional CRYPTO 95 puzzle sets are copyrighted by John 
Allen, 1994.  Clearly I hold no copy right to the individual
quotes, but I do hold a copyright on the structure
and organization of each set, and their integration with 
the CRYPTO 95 program.  CRYPTO 95 PUZZLE SETS 1 through 20 cannot 
be copied or distributed without my written permission.

The additional CRYPTO 95 puzzle sets are copy-protected using
a non-intrusive, author-derived, and (hopefully) clever scheme.  
For obvious reasons, the nature of the copy protection will not be 
revealed here.  Suffice it to say that the files TARGET.CRY 
OK.CRY are key to the copy protection scheme.  The copy protection
scheme operates only on the additional puzzle sets that can be
ordered by the user.  The copy protection has no impact on the
basic program, the sample puzzle set (SET 0), or the pattern word
libraries.  These files, and the other files provided with the  
distribution disk, can be copied freely.
