- About DLLMerge
-
- The '!DLLs' resource folder contains libraries which can be
- shared by applications, thus saving memory. When new or
- updated libraries become available, you will need to add
- these to your DLLs resource. The DLLMerge application
- helps you do this quickly and easily.
-
- When new libraries are made available, they will be
- supplied in a DLLs resource. If you don't have one yet,
- just copy the one supplied. Otherwise, you'll need to
- merge the new one with your current 'master' DLLs resource.
-
- When you set up your master DLLs resource, you should put
- it with your System resource, either on your hard disk or
- the same floppy disk as the System resource.
-
- To update your DLLs resource, double click on the DLLMerge
- application. A dialogue box (see figure 1) will appear
- on the screen.

- Figure 1: The DLLMerge dialogue
-
- The top area shows you the filenames of the DLLs resources,
- as confirmation. The bottom half of the dialogue box shows
- a prompt guiding you through the merge procedure.
-
- To actually perform the merge, proceed as follows:
-
- * Drag your Master DLLs resource, from your hard disk or
- System floppy, to the dialogue box. The full pathname of
- the resource appears in the display area labelled 'Master
- !DLLs' as confirmation.
-
- * Drag the new DLLs resource, containing new and updated
- libraries you want to add to your Master resource, to the
- dialogue box. The pathname of the resource appears in
- the display area labelled 'New !DLLs' as confirmation.
-
- DLLMerge will then perform the merge. If all went well, a
- message 'DLLs folder updated successfully' is displayed,
- and the new libraries are immediately available for use --
- you do NOT have to reset your computer.
-
- If an error occurred (e.g. 'Disc full' or 'Protected
- disc'), it is reported in a dialogue box. You should try
- to rectify the problem and then restart the merge
- procedure.
