Odometer for Windows 95
Version 2.0 - 16 05 97
Copyright ⌐ 96/97 - Frederic Ribau
What is an ODOMETER?
An Odometer is just a sample program who gives you the distance you travel with your mouse. At this
time, itÆs only designed for Windows 95. This program can be accessed from the Windows taskbar just
like the sound control.
What do I need to run Odometer?
A standard PC where you can run Windows 95 and, of course, a mouse! You need also the Visual
Basic 32 bit files (VB40032.DLL and OLEPRO32.DLL) to execute this program. If you donÆt have
this one, you can download it on the Microsoft ftp site (ftp.microsoft.com) or on the Web site of my
homepage (http://perso.club-internet.fr/boudin/).
Installing Odometer.
Open the directory where you previously unzipped the files. Copy the EXE file in you Windows
directory, for example. Then add a shortcut you tour startup menu using the
Star/Control Panel/Taskbar.
To start the program.
When you computer starts, Odometer will also start, normally. ThereÆs a shortcut in your Start Menu. If
the program doesnÆt start by itself, point to the directory where Windows is installed (i.e.: c:\windows)
and then click on the file: Odometer.exe
Uninstalling Odometer.
To uninstall this program, simply open your explorer, and then erase Odometer.exe from the directory
where you put it. DonÆt forget to erase the shortcut if you have created it!
WhatÆs the shareware version doing?
As part of the shareware group, this program is limited. You can only use this program for the first
100 connections. If you appreciate Odometer, please send to me your registration form (see
Register.txt), and youÆll receive as soon as possible the keycode to remove this protection.
