To run my DOS program: unzip the files into a directory of your choice (maybe create a new directory). Then to run it from Win95/98/00 click on Start, then Run... then Browse, then find the program name in the directory. Click on the program name (pente.exe) to highlight it, then hit Open, then hit OK. Then next time you hit Start, Run... the program name should be already there and you can just hit OK (or if you have run something else, hit the down arrow to select Pente again.)
If you have NT and no Start button, you can just double click on My Computer, then find the program name in its directory, and double click on it.
If you would like to create a shortcut on your desktop, open My Computer, find the program name in its directory (pente.exe) and then RIGHT click on the name. Select Create Shortcut. The shortcut will probably appear in the same directory as pente.exe, you can drag it out to your desktop.
Let me know if you have any questions.
