│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains WinGuard (V.2.3) from Cetus Software. This
document contains only a brief description of the package and its
features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form,
and is more easily read after installation.
WinGuard password-protects Windows 3.1 Program Manager groups and icons
from being rearranged or damaged (accidentally or intentionally), with
the automatic setting of any one of eight protection levels. WinGuard
can also hide "sensitive" programs (such as Windows Setup, Control
Panel, or File Manager), as well as selected entire Program Manager
groups and individual Control Panel icons, away from guest users.
WinGuard requires the Visual Basic 3.0 dynamic link library,
VBRUN300.DLL, in order to run. This file may usually be obtained from
the source for this program, or may be obtained on diskette directly
from Cetus Software (P.O. Box 700, Carver, MA 02330).
WinGuard is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days without charge (see winguard.wri for more
details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
winguard.wri for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others
(disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a
fee for their copying and distribution services, and was NOT a payment
for continued use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
Please note: WinGuard requires VBRUN300.DLL, the Visual Basic 3.0
dynamic link library file. Ideally, VBRUN300.DLL should be located in
the Windows System directory (typically C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM) on a
non-networked computer, or in the Windows directory on a networked PC.
WinGuard may be installed without this file being present, but will not
run without it. VBRUN300.DLL may usually be obtained from the source of
this program, or may be obtained on diskette directly from Cetus
Software (P.O. Box 700, Carver, MA 02330).
The installation procedure for WinGuard is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 1 MB of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install WinGuard (though this
is reduced to about 600 KB if VBRUN300.DLL is already installed).
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
WinGuard.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
To install from diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the WinGuard distribution diskette in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o While running Windows, execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the
distribution diskette. For example, if the distribution
diskette is on drive A:, type "A:\INSTALL" on the Run Line
available in Program Manager's File Menu.
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded WinGuard from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the WinGuard package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the
command, "C:\TEMPDIR\INSTALL" by double-clicking on the
"INSTALL.EXE" filename in the "C:\TEMPDIR" directory in File
Manager.
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive.
o When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you
should delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed
WinGuard (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its
contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
which have been installed. In particular, read at least the text files
installed as icons in the WinGuard group in Program Manager. You should
be THOROUGHLY familiar with the effects of ANY protection level or
security feature BEFORE invoking it.
VERY IMPORTANT !!! When hiding Program Manager program groups, you MUST
make certain that you do NOT hide WinGuard's own icon !!!
Cetus Software hopes you find WinGuard to be useful.
