Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Introduction
============
Shanghai is an implementation of a game which has been around for home
computers for many years. It involves a little strategy, a good memory and
some luck. Shanghai may be played by one or more players together.
I originally played Shanghai on an Atari ST which I owned around eight years
ago. I couldn't find a version for the Acorn Risc computers so I wrote my
own. The graphics used for the game pieces were hand-drawn and based upon
real Mah-Jong pieces and are more realistic than those seen on versions of
the game for other computers.
If you have suggestions for additional features or bug reports, mail me at:
101337.1002@compuserve.com

Instructions
============
On starting the game, 144 mah-jong pieces are arranged in a neat pile. The
object of the game is to remove pairs of tiles together until no tiles
remain.
Only tiles which have at least one edge free of neigbouring tiles, e.g. the
top tile or the far left/right tiles, may be removed. Clicking on a tile
which may be removed will cause it to be highlighted. If a tile cannot be
removed, then it will not be highlighted. Having selected one tile, you must
select a matching tile whereupon both pieces will be removed. If the second
tile does not match the first, then nothing happens.
If you accidentally select a tile or you change your mind, you can deselect
the first tile by clicking on it a second time.
The display at the top left corner shows the number of pieces remaining.
The display at the top right corner shows the time taken.
Tip: the timer does not start until you select your first pair of tiles.
Therefore, before choosing your first move, study the pieces and plan as
far ahead as possible - I told you it involves a good memory!
If you manage to complete the game by removing all of the tiles and you
make it into the high scores, then you will be prompted to enter your name.
The high scores may be viewed at any time by pressing 'Menu' over the
game window and clicking on 'High scores->Show'.
Several options are available using the buttons at the top of the window:
New Game: allows you to start a new game at any time;
Replay: allows you to restart the current game at any time - use this if
you decide part-way through a game, that you should have made a
different move;
Reverse: allows you to step back through you previous moves;
Forward: allows you to step forward, after stepping back;
Hint: shows you the available moves if you get stuck. Pressing this
button displays a window with four more buttons. The '<' and '>'
buttons allow you step through the available moves. Each press of
one of these buttons highlights a pair of tiles. When you decide to
play one of these moves, press the 'select' button. The hint
window remains displayed to allow you to see more moves. Press
'Cancel' if you decide you don't need any more hints.
Quit: allows you to quit Shanghai - you can also do this using the menus
available in the game's window or iconbar icon.
NOTE: if you use step back through previous moves and then subsequently
successfully complete the game, you will not be prompted to enter
your name for the high-score table, even if you beat a previous time.
You can, however, use the 'Replay' button to try the same game again.
Similarly, using the 'hint' button will deny you the privelege of
being entered into the high-score table.
The game may be paused at any time by closing the window. This will stop the
timer. Clicking on the iconbar icon will continue the game.
For those of you not familiar with mah-jong pieces:
in most cases, there are four identical pieces of each type. E.g. there
are four tiles depicting a bird, four tiles depicting two sticks etc.
Selecting any two of the four tiles produces a match.
The exceptions to the above rule applies to the tiles depicting the seasons
and the flowers. There are four tiles representing the four seasons - they
appear as flowers (unfortunately) and are identified by a red Chinese
character in addition to the flower. There are also four tiles representing
flowers and these also have flowers on the pieces but are identified by
a blue Chinese character. Selecting any two seasons produces a match and
similarly with any two flowers.
If in doubt, select two tiles and experiment. If they match, they'll be
removed otherwise there's no change.
Additions since version 0.02
============================
1. Fixed flickering of button bar when 'new game' or 'replay game' selected.
2. Reset tile counter when 'replay game' selected.
3. 'Forward' and 'reverse' buttons are faded when they have no effect.
4. Fixed a bug which allowed certain non-matching pairs to be selected and
removed.
5. Added hint feature.
6. Added 'end of game' notification when there are no more legal moves.
6. Added game over notification when no more legal moves are possible.
7. Fixed screen corruption when tile partially obscured by another window is
highlighted. 00000000 53 68 61 6e 67 68 61 69 0a 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d |Shanghai.=======| 00000010 3d 0a 0a 56 65 72 73 69 6f 6e 20 30 2e 30 33 0a |=..Version 0.03.| 00000020 0a 44 69 73 63 6c 61 69 6d 65 72 0a 3d 3d 3d 3d |.Disclaimer.====| 00000030 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 0a 0a 53 68 61 6e 67 68 61 69 |======..Shanghai| 00000040 20 69 73 20 a9 20 31 39 39 36 2c 20 4a 6f 65 20 | is . 1996, Joe | 00000050 43 68 61 6e 2e 20 49 20 6d 61 6b 65 20 6e 6f 20 |Chan.
