I. Introduction
Congratulations for downloading Studley T. Icon. This is the second
upgrade of the original Studley The Icon. The first upgrade was to make
this program POSTCARDWARE, and this second upgrade has added many key
features as well as making Studley work under Windows 95. There is
now no cost for this program, and no registrations shall be accepted from
the V1.0 version.
S.T.I. is described as "Your Personal Desktop Excercise Motivator."
In plain English, Studley will try to motivate you to exercise a
little more. Too many of us spend too much time in front of the
computer typing and staring at a monitor. Lighten up! Get up every
now and then, and perform a few exercises! A few stretches, jumps,
and jogging could greatly reduce the chances of disease and increase
your health as a whole.
II. What You Need
In order to use S.T.I., you need the following:
o MS-Windows 3.1 or higher
o VBRUN300.DLL (found at many fine BBS's and distribution networks)
III. Running Studley T. Icon
In order to run S.T.I., you need to copy, unpack,..etc the files you
received. Get VBRUN300.DLL from your distribution site (or The Other
World BBS), and place it to your Windows directory. Add the S.T.I.
icon to your program manager and double-click the icon (or just run
it straight using your pm's run command). You can also place a link to
Studley the Icon from your startup group (or folder), causing Studley
to automatically start working out every time you run the computer.
You should see the Studley main window, and at the bottom-left corner
of the screen you should see a small icon of Studley T. Icon doing some
exercises. After he is finished, he will return to a standing position
and wait 15 seconds to do more.
By clicking on Studley, you will be brought to the configuration menu
whether or not it has been hidden/minimized. Studley's mission will
be described, and the logo for EP will be shown. The top menu will
have the captions "Options" and "About."
By clicking on the "Options" pull-down menu, you can choose how long
to let Studley wait before he performs his next exercise. You can
also force Studley to keep exercising indefinitely by choosing "Run
Constantly!" You also have an option to automatically show the
welcome screen every time you run the program. A final option to
"Change Default Position" will show a picture of a computer monitor
and 9 buttons. Click on the button corresponding to the position
where you wish Studley to reside.
You can also exit the program, stopping Studley's strenuous
workout.
The "About" caption will bring a message box with a brief description
of Studley's creator including where to send fan-mail :) and the home
support bulletin board's number :)

An actual exercise session should begin with a series of light
stretches to warm up your muscles. Studley may not always do this,
but remember, he IS a computer icon, and is there only to MOTIVIATE
you to begin exercising.
Before starting an actual exercise or diet program, it is recommended
that you consult your physician.
