Bobble 2.1 by JustBob, Copyright 2001
Bobble kits come in two
forms:
- PC-only: This version installs only on a Windows
PC. The license for this version
grants you the right to install on a single Windows PC.
- PocketPC or PalmPC: This version
contains two kits - one for installation on a PocketPC or PalmPC and the
other for installation on the associated Windows PC host. The license for this version grants you
the right to install the game on a single Pocket/PalmPC and on the
attached Windows PC host. The
Windows PC license can be activated only when the Pocket/PalmPC is
attached with ActiveSync. The
installation kits are in separate folders - CE_xxx for the PDA version and
PC for the PC version.
A Registration code is
required to run the full version of the software. Without the registration code, the game will run in a limited,
'trial' mode; the full version can be activated later by entering a valid
registration code.
Execute the 'setup' file in
the installation kit area to install the game on your system. PDA installations will install via
ActiveSync.
