Automated Internet for Windows 1.7 <ASP>
QUICK START GUIDE
----------- HOW TO INSTALL! ----------------------------------------
1. Create a new AutoWinNet directory
2. Unzip the PKZIP file into that directory
3. Create an icon for it, and setup the program by chosing CONFIGURATION
4. Unzip CTL3DV2.ZIP into your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. This is vitally
important: if you will get errors and ugly dialogs if you don't have
that CTL3DV2.DLL in your windows/system directory.
5. Dial and connect with your SLIP/PPP provider using a Winsock dialer
program, such as Trumpet Winsock's TCPMAN.EXE, or Internet in a Box's
AIRDIAL.EXE.
If you don't have Trumpet Winsock, you can get a copy from
ftp.trumpet.com.au in the /ftp/pub/winsock directory.
The usual filename is in the format: TWSCK??.ZIP
If you are not dialed in, connected and logged in, this program will not work.
----------- HOW DO I RUN THIS AUTOMATED? ------------------------------
To run an agenda without being home, (pro version only),
specify the agenda you want to run on the command line. OR just schedule
several agendas to run using the new built-in calendar!
For example, add: AUTOWNET.EXE MYAGENDA to your scheduler program.
This will run MYAGENDA agenda at whatever time you specify.
If you don't have a scheduler program, use AutoWinNet's new built-in calendar.
If you're running Internet in a Box, your dialer will load automatically,
and log you into the Internet.
If you use Trumpet Winsock's TCPMAN.EXE, make sure that TCPMAN.EXE,
LOGIN.CMD, TWINSOCK.INI and TRUMWSK.INI are in your Windows directory!
Otherwise, he doesn't work.
When AUTOWINnet is done, he will unload himself, along with the
dialing program, and your Winsock.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a bug in Trumpet Winsock, he doesn't hang
up when exiting. Be patient - he'll hang the modem up
about five minutes after exiting!
----------- POSSIBLE SETUP PROBLEMS ----------------------------------
The official AutoWinNet support phone:
1-500-776-SMITH
or our problem/questions homepage:
http://www.computek.net/autownet/problem.html
PARADOX ERROR 144 / MISCELLANEOUS PARADOX ERRORS -
You already have a PARADOX engine setup inside WIN.INI. Open notepad and
edit WIN.INI, renaming any previous paradox statements.
DOES NOT WORK WITH TIA -
T.I.A. is a program that emulates SLIP account access on a SHELL account.
This don't work with AutoWinNet!
Please get a PPP/SLIP account, then try this program again...
I KEEP GETTING "CTL3DV2.DLL NOT CORRECTLY INSTALLED" ERRORS
Unzip CTL3DV2.ZIP into your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. This is vitally
important: if you will get errors and ugly dialogs if you don't have
that CTL3DV2.DLL in your windows/system directory.
DO NOT UNZIP IT INTO THE AUTOWINNET DIRECTORY! Ctl3dv2.dll is very picky
about where it should be. Only one copy should exist on your hard drive:
in your Windows/system directory.
----------- YOUR FIRST AGENDA ----------------------------------------
Choose ONLINE OPERATIONS from the main menu
Select FIRST AGENDA
Click RUN at the bottom of the dialog
You'll see AutoWinNet ftp to oak.oakland.edu and retrieve a couple
of file lists. He is collecting the contents of oak.oakland.edu's
/SimTel/win3 directory (the cool Windows shareware!)
----------- AFTER AGENDA IS DONE -------------------------------------
Choose VIEW OR EDIT AGENDAS from the main menu
Double click FIRST AGENDA (or press EDIT)
Press FTP
Highlight oak.oakland.edu in the left listbox (that's the site you just visited)
Now press DOWNLOAD
You will see a list of all the files he just found in /SimTel/win3
To download any of these, just highlight them and press SELECT
----------- HOW DO I DOWNLOAD FILES? -------------------------------------
Select them, and then press SELECT. Those files will be downloaded
the next time you run that agenda!
----------- WHAT'S SO COOL ABOUT AutoWinNet? ----------------------------
Many enhancements added in version 1.7! Plus a new LOW PRICE!
This growing and exciting program allows you to:
* Get NEW FILES automatically, several times a day then tag them for later download

CONCERNING SHAREWARE AND AutoWinNet:
Definition of Shareware. . .
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are
expected to register it. Individual programs differ on details _ some
request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both shareware and commercial software, and
the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions
as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just
like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In
both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference
is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to
a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission
before a commercial disk vendor may copy their shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
commercial or shareware. The shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee _ if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
AutoWinNet is a copyrighted shareware program by David Smith and
Jim Husband authors and members of the Association of Shareware
Professionals. The evaluation edition of AutoWinNet is offered at no charge
to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to share the evaluation
edition with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as
part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without high
prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
develop new products.
Ombudsman Statement. . .
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-
related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly,
ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a
dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical
support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545
Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via
CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
