                         PENTANGO VERSION 1.1

DESCRIPTION
-----------

Pentango is a fast paced board game which is extremely easy to learn
but offers challenging play for players of all levels.  Pentango offers
three variations of Go-Moku in which players try to get 5 pieces in a row
on a 19x19 grid.  Simple as tic-tac-toe, but much more challenging.  The
other game variations supported by Pentango allow captures of opponents
pieces (this variation is commonly known as Pente).  Pentango offers many
features including play against the computer or another person, unlimited
undo/redo, hints, 4 levels of play (including the very forgiving kid's mode)
and sound effects.  Pentango comes standard with the capture-2 variation;
once registered, the go-moku and capture-3 variations will be enaabled.


REGISTRATION
------------

This game is shareware.  You may freely try it for 30 days.  If you
like it, then you must register with Bitworks Software.  To "register"
a shareware game means to purchase it directly from the developer.
(Shareware games are evaluation versions only, which means you have
the right to try them, but after trying them you must either register
them with the author or delete them from your system.  It is unlikely
that anyone will check up on you, so shareware works because of the
honesty of users.)  When you register you will receive a unique serial
number key which will allow you to access 2 other game variations.
The unlock key is unique to your registered name.  You may NOT share
this key with others or post it for public use.

To register on-line via a secure server with a credit card, visit
http://www.execpc.com/bitworks. Or see the order.txt file for other
ordering options. Registered users are also eligible for free upgrades
should an upgrade ever become available.
