//  24 Points for Windows 95/NT Evaluation Copy	  //
//						  //
//------------------------------------------------//


  The 24 Points game is an ancient chinese educational 
card game. The purpose is to train the player to deal
with numbers faster. (duh...)

  This evaluation copy does not have a full documentation
so we prepared this README.TXT for you to know how to
play.

  You can only play against the computer in this demo. 
Select One Player or press F2 to start, the computer will 
show four (4) cards in the middle of the window, and it 
will start counting, your goal is to use all four cards
once and only once with all four basic math operations:
Plus, Minus, Multiply, Divide to get 24. The Ace cards are 
counted as 1, Jack as 11, Queen as 12 and King as 13. Suits
are not important.

  For example, if the cards are: 3, 5, 7, Jack which are:
3, 5, 7, 11, one solution will be: (11-5)=6; (7-3)=4; and 
4*6=24.

  If you find a solution before the timer reaches a preset
limit which you can change in Timer Setup (F5), press any 
key or click the right mouse button to input the solution.
You will have only one chance to input your solution and 
you will also have a timer which you can change in Timer 
Setup (F5). If you are correct, all four cards goes to you
and then you start another hand.

  If you can not find a solution fast enough, the computer
will start calculating and present its solution if it find 
one. The computer is always correct and way too fast, (That
is why we put a computer holding time so human player have
a chance, what a shame...)
