Milnes Jigsaws

Sound is off.

Q1  What operating system is required to run Milnes Jigsaws ?
A1   Windows 95 upwards.

Q2  Why is the download file a Self-Extracting Zip file ?
A2   The size of the puzzles depends on the files used to create them so the size does vary. To achieve the quickest possible download speeds we convert it into a "self-extracting zip" file - this means that you don't need any other program utilities to open it.

Q3  How I download and run it then ?
A3   There several ways of doing this - click here for the printable "Download & Run Guide".

Q4  How do you recommend distribution ?
A4   You must have a Milnes licence to copy and distribute a Milnes Jigsaw regardless of whether it is for sale or free.
Each puzzle contains its respective licence.

Frequently the size of the distributable self-extracting file allows copying onto a 3.5" floppy disk.

So for manual distribution (post, courier, display stands etc) we recommend copying onto either a 3.5" floppy disk or a CD which can be easily distributed.
This copying is very easily accomplished and cheap. Design and print colourful cover inserts etc.

Otherwise the puzzle can be put onto a web site and be downloaded from there.

Internet based Shopping Trolleys may be a good method for you too.

Q5  Do I have to be connected to the Internet to play the jigsaw ?
A5   No you don't. The jigsaw is installed onto your computer and you can play it at any time and repeatedly.

Q6  If I save a partially completed puzzle how do I start playing it again ? 
A6   Run the puzzle like you did from the start. Once the puzzle is opened and the File Menu is displayed you can select 
             File  Open     and select the 'partially completed puzzle' file (the file has a ".pcp" extension).
             You must use the original puzzle each time you want to continue playing it.

Q7  What is your Policy on the privacy of Players personal information ?
