TakeOne Version 1.03
                          Copyright (C) J. Kavanagh


General Information
===================

This is the latest version of TakeOne for Windows. It includes a few small
improvements. I have tried to keep this version as compatible as possible
with the following exceptions :-


1: Game Extension
-----------------

The new default extension for games saved with TakeOne is ".TO" Older
versions of the program used ".GAM"

If you have any old games saved that you wish to use with the new version of
the program you should rename these so that they have the extension ".TO"
You can explicitly enter a file with the extension ".GAM" when restoring a
a game, but these old files will not appear in the new Game:Restore dialog
box.


2: .INI Information
------------------

The previous versions of TakeOne store initialisation and colour information
in the Windows standard file WIN.INI To help reduce the clutter and size of
this file TakeOne now saves it's information in a private file called
TAKEONE.INI

If you want to keep your current settings just use an ASCII word processor to
copy the [TakeOne] section from WIN.INI to the new file TAKEONE.INI




Game Setup
==========

You can now setup the board to a particular pattern rather than having a game
chosen at random by TakeOne. You can then save these patterns so that you can
practice with them again and again. I have included a number of patterns with
this version of the program :-

             Diamond.to
             Arrow.to
             Plus.to
             Pyramid.to




Improved Colour Support
=======================

Takeone now allows you to 'mix' colours for the various board elements.
Previously you could only choose from a predefined set of colours. Note that
depending on your video board, some (most) colour mixes will result in a
dithered approximation of the colour you want. You can inform TakeOne that
it should only show the pure colours that your video board can support when
mixing.

When TakeOne saves the colour information in it now saves the colour
in RGB format that is a number for the red, green and blue components of the
colour. For example

LightSquare=255,255,255

Here the red, green and blue are all set to the maximum value of 255 which
yields the colour white. You can still use the colour names from the old
version of TakeOne in the .INI file e.g. White, Green etc. but if you
change a colour in TakeOne it will always be saved in RGB format.




Window State Save
=================
When you close TakeOne it now saves the current window coordinates and will
automatically load at the same place on screen the next time it is run.


Thanks

Thanks to all those who registered their copy of TakeOne. I will send out this

Also thanks to those of you who have passed on and uploaded TakeOne to various
