- INSTALLATION NOTES
- If you associate a file extension with WinJPEG, you can double click on
- a file with that extension in File Manager and WinJPEG will
- automatically display that file. There are two ways to associate an
- extension with WinJPEG. The easiest way is to run File Manager, to
- click on a file with the desired extension, and to select the Associate
- command from the File Menu. Then type "winjpeg.exe" with the
- appropriate path (e.g. c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe). The other way is to
- modify the Extensions section of the "win.ini" file in your Windows
- directory. Your "win.ini" may look like this after you modify it:
-
- [Extensions]
- ...
- jpg=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.jpg
- gif=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.gif
- tga=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.tga
- bmp=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.bmp
- pcx=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.pcx
- tif=c:\winjpeg\winjpeg.exe ^.tif
-
- Note that you don't have to use the suggested extensions (e.g. you can use
- .jpe instead of .jpg); WinJPEG will automatically detect the file format.
-
- If you are using Windows 3.0, you must copy "commdlg.dll" and
- "shell.dll" to your Windows system directory(e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
-
- If WinJPEG GPF's, we recommend that you restart Windows before
- running WinJPEG again.
-
-
- HOW TO REGISTER
- If you use WinJPEG for more than 14 days, you are expected to register
- WinJPEG. When you register, you will receive the latest 286 and 386/486
- versions of WinJPEG, a user manual, and a collection of JPEG images (we
- will put as many as we can fit on 2 720k 3 1/2" floppies, on 1 1.44M 3
- 1/2" floppy, or on 4 360k 5 1/4" floppies). The 386/486 version is
- twice as fast as the 286 version in viewing JPEG's without sacrificing
- image quality. Also, the registered version does not have the
- reminder-to-register screen at the start.
-
- The registration fee is only $20. MA residents, add 5% sales tax to the
- registration fee. US residents, add $4 for shipping and handling;
- non-US residents, add $8 for shipping and handling. If you want
- WinJPEG e-mailed to your account instead of having it physically mailed
- to you, there is no extra shipping charge.
-
- Registered users of WinJPEG can purchase the latest version for $5.
- Shipping fees described above apply to these updates as well. Updates
- are available when you see a new shareware version.
-
- For e-mail registrations, you need to use a program called "uudecode" to
- decode the uuencoded file that we e-mail to you. For your information,
- a uuencoded file is a binary file that is converted to text by a program
- called "uuencode". If your mail system rejects large messages, we will
- split the uuencoded file into smaller parts before mailing the parts to
- you, and you will need to edit the messages with a text editor before
- you can decode them. Compuserve, for example, does not permit large
- e-mail messages. Also, the uuencoded file is rather large; it is
- greater than 500k for WinJPEG. Compuserve users may find it less
- expensive to receive WinJPEG via U.S. Mail.
-
- Registrations with the incorrect fee or with non-US currency will be
- returned. Foreign registrations must send US currency or a check drawn
- from a US bank.
-
- To register, complete the order form and send a check to:

- Norman Yee
- 58 Chandler St.
- Boston, MA 02116
