Detailed download instructions:
1) How to download the program. What you need is a shareware game called NETWORDZ. The file is small (527kb) and can be downloaded in seconds depending on the speed of your modem!
Installation for Windows 95 and Windows 98
Save to your hard disk. Find the file by browsing the hard drive, or do a file search for NETZ95.EXE. When you find it, double click on it, and it will self-install. An icon will automatically be placed on your desktop, and in moments you will be playing.
Installation for Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP
Save to your hard drive. Find the file by browsing the hard drive, or do a file search for NETZNT.EXE. When you find it, double click on it, and it will install into a new folder called C:\Networdz. When you do that, don't click on anything except OK. You are almost ready to play!
Open up the game using Windows Explorer, browsing the hard drive to find the C:\Networdz folder. Now click on NETWD95 or NETWORDZ. That will open up the game, and you'll see a scrabble board on your screen. It will ask you for a dictionary. DO NOT click on 'English.dct', but choose 'TWL98.DCT' instead. Click on OK.
You will now see the board screen. You have to MANUALLY configure the program to make it a real scrabble board....
