- READ ME for WSTBar 2.2 (4/29/1995)
- -------------------------------------
- Maintenance upgrade to correct the Finger toolbar button.
-
- WSTBar is a MS Windows application that displays a toolbar (TOPMOST) that
- holds command buttons for INTERNET applications. The toolbar is setup to
- run the following applications:
-
- Trumpet Winsock
- Web Browser
- E-Mail
- News
- FTP
- Gopher
- Telnet
- Finger
- Internet Phone
- IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
-
- The application that WSTBar runs when a command button is clicked is
- user-defined. The file WSTBAR.INI hold references (disk, path and EXE name)
- for your INTERNET application preferences. Once WSTBar is installed, please
- edit WSTBAR.INI (located in the \WINDOWS directory) and change the disk,
- path and executable name for your INTERNET applications. NOTE: In the
- initial release of WSTBar, there will be a way dialog box that will allow
- you to select your INTERNET applications via "point-and-click").
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- NOTE: This application requires VBRUN300.DLL
-
- 1. Un-ZIP the contents of WSTBAR.ZIP into a temporary directory
- 2. Start Microsoft Windows (if not already started)
- 3. From the Program Manager, select the File menu and choose Run
- 4. Type <drive>:<path>SETUP.EXE and press ENTER. Where <drive> and <path>
- is the disk drive and path where you have placed the un-zipped files.
-
- The files required for WSTBar will be copied to a directory on your
- computer (C:\WSTBAR by default), and the setup program will create a
- program group for WSTBar. At this point, you MUST edit WSTBAR.INI (located
- in the \WINDOWS) directory.
-
- Setting the toolbar location
- ----------------------------
- WSTBar allows you to set the location of the toolbar. This is accomplished
- through settings in WSTBAR.INI (BarLeft, BarTop). The position is specified
- in pixels. The current settings position the toolbar at the top left-hand
- corner of your screen.
-
- Selecting your applications
- ---------------------------
- You can select the applications that WSTBar will run when the buttons on the
- toolbar are clicked. Replace the path and filename of the INTERNET
- applications with the path and filename of your INTERNET applications.
-
- Using LoadOnStart
- -----------------
- An option to load a specific application when WSTBar is started has been
- added in this release. To load a specific application when WSTBar is started,
- add the application to the LoadOnStart option in WSTBAR.INI. Allowable options
- for LoadOnStart are Winsock,WWW,EMail,News,FTP,Gopher,Telnet,Finger,IPhone, and
- IRC. This option is blank by default.
