- WinPak#1 README.TXT
- -------------------
-
-
- Hello and welcome to the WinPak#1 software package from
- Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc.!
-
- This package contains four unique, custom designed screen saver
- modules, two TrueType fonts, and over 100 icons, all for use with
- Windows 3.1. This package contains an automated installation
- utility that should be used to install the screen saver modules.
- It should be noted that registered users of WinPak#1 receive the
- full "Deluxe" version of WinPak#1 which contains everything in
- this shareware version PLUS 2 more screen savers, 2 more TrueType
- fonts, and over 100 more icons!
-
- Most of the files in this package are compressed using the DOS
- "COMPRESS" and "EXPAND" utilities. The compressed files end with
- an underscore on the distribution diskette, such as
- "WINPAK1A.SC_". The installation program will automatically
- uncompress these files.
-
- The following information will guide you through installing the
- WINPAK#1 files. Once installed, the SETUP program will create a
- program group and install icons for the documentation files,
- which you can read by clicking on the document's icon.
-

-
- VERIFICATION OF FILES
- ---------------------
-
- At this point, please look for all of the files that belong to
- the WinPak#1 package. All of the files are listed in the file
- PACKING.TXT If the PACKING.TXT file or any of the files listed in
- PACKING.TXT are missing, please contact us for an official copy
- of WinPak#1 -- it would not be fair to either the user or Rhode
- Island Soft Systems, Inc. to have a user evaluate an incomplete
- package.

- INSTALLING WINPAK#1
- -------------------
-
- WinPak#1 is shipped with a comprehensive installation program to
- automate traditional installation. To install WinPak#1, you must
- be in the Windows environment. To install WinPak#1 we will use
- the SETUP program supplied as part of the package.
-
- From Program Manager's main window, select "File". This will
- cause a menu to drop down. Next, select "Run...". A dialog box
- will pop up requesting a "Command Line".
-
- If the WinPak#1 files are on a floppy disk, insert the diskette
- into the A: or B: drive, as appropriate and type either
- "A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP", respectively. We must execute the
- "SETUP" program that is located on the floppy disk.
-
- If the WinPak#1 files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter
- the full drive and directory path to where the WinPak#1 files are
- located, such as: "C:\DOWNLOAD\TEMP\SETUP".
-
- Please note that these are just examples -- the directories names
- and drives will certainly be different for each individual
- computer. The above examples are for illustrative purposes only.
-
- After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the ENTER key
- or click on the "OK" button.
-
- At this point SETUP will handle the entire process of installing
- the WinPak#1 files.
-
- To activate the screen savers, we must first select the "Main"
- group in Program Manager. Next, select the "Control Panel" icon.
- Finally, within Control Panel, select the "Desktop" icon. The
- "Screen Saver" portion of the dialog box will now contain the
- WinPak#1 modules in the list of Screen Saver "Names". The
- WinPak#1 modules can be easily identified as they are labeled
- with "WP1=>". As an alternative, you can use the "Chooser"
- program that is now supplied (free) with WinPak#1!
-
- The TrueType fonts are automatically installed into Windows for
- you. To use them, simply select them from the list of TrueType
- fonts in any application, as you would select any other font.
-
- To use the icons, simply specify the file "WP1ICON1.DLL" any time
- you want to specify an icon, and select any of the icons that
- are presented. For example, from Program Manager, hilight a
- program icon and select "File" then "Properties..." and finally
- "Change Icon". When it asks for the file name of the icon file
- to use, select WP1ICON1.DLL in your Windows directory.
-
- The icons in the WP1ICON1.DLL file are included courtesy of
- Software Co-Op and are part of a larger package of 1700 icons
- published by Villa Crespo Software. Look for LexIcon in a store
- near you!
