=================================================================================
		******	SETUP POKER2  ******

1. Run DFLTS5 then delete for extra memory. Remember if want to 
   re-distribute the game you must reload DFLTS5 in its original form
   for the recieving user, otherwise they will recieve error(s)
   when loading a game.

2. Run all programs exept POKER2
   Note: you will recieve an error message after each program, so [Quit].

3. Once you have ran all sub-routines POKER2 will run WITHOUT long 
   annoying pauses during run-time because you have setup or intialized
   the sub-routines.

==================================================================================
			******	HOW TO PLAY POKER2 ******

Once you setup your game and have been dealt your Cards, you can do 
the following;

    [2nd] or [Enter]= to deal second hand.

Use [F1][F2][F3][F4][F5]-Keys to Hold and Discard your cards 1 at a time.

    [Alpha] = to Hold all 5 cards at once.
    [Clear] = to Discard all 5 cards at once.

    [Exit] = to [FOLD], without winning or losing, or [EXIT] to
             return back to the game.  Also [QUIT] to end game & save.

    [STAT] = to see your game status of hands won and lost.

    [PRGM] = to SAVE your game at this particular point in Poker.

NOTE: The game will "PAUSE" (aprx) 23 sec, after you have been dealt your cards.
      To continue the game, "Hit Enter..."  look below for screen example.

         |Hit F1 to HOLD cards.|
         |                     |
         |                     |
         |                     |
         |                     |
         |     Game Paused     |
         |     Hit enter...    |
         [F1] [F2] [F3] [F4] [F5] 

==================================================================================
If you WIN you will be given the option for "DOUBLE or NOTHING?"
 you can choose "NO" or "YES". Otherwise it will return to the "betting" screen.

			"DOUBLE or NOTHING?"
An option to double all the current accumulated credit after each winning
poker hand.  The TI-85 deals one random card on the far left of display.
You must select one of the other 4 cards with a [FLIP?].  If it is numerically
higher than the first displayed card, you double the current credits. If it is 
numerically equivalent, the credit amount is unchanged. If its numerically 
lower, you lose all credits including the amount originally won in the poker hand.

==================================================================================

			Future Game add-on's

Wild card capability, which will let you select your wild card "2" through "Ace."

2 player capability.

Plus it might have other extras for the "game status" that will let you know
more about your game.

TI-86 Game version will be 35K+ in size and will let you save 2 or more games becasue
      of its 98K (128k) Ram. Plus wild card cabability.  The game will also have more options
      & features.
