-
- To most easily view this document, open it in Notepad and click
- on the little "up" arrow in the upper right-hand corner to
- maximize the window.
-
-
- **If there is a file named DEFAULT.INI included in the
- zipped file you downloaded, delete DEFAULT.INI. It
- contains configuration information for the computer
- belonging to the person who uploaded the zipped file
- and so will not perform properly on your computer.
- WavSorter will create a DEFAULT.INI file containing
- your preferences the first time you exit WavSorter.
-
- **If you obtained WavSorter from a shareware vendor,
- either as an individual program or as part of a
- shareware collection, you should know that the author
- has not received any compensation for the distribution
- or use of WavSorter. If you like WavSorter and find it
- useful, please register it. When you register, you will
- receive WavSorter Pro, which has many more features and
- enhancements than this evaluation version.
-
- **If you experience any difficulties installing or using
- WavSorter, read the TECH_1.WRI and TECH_2.WRI files
- included with WavSorter. These files contain answers to
- commonly asked technical support questions. If you do not
- find the answer you need, contact Shepherd Software either
- by email on CompuServe (71664,2255) or by U.S. Postal mail
- at the following address:

-
- IMPORTANT NOTES
-
- 1. Feel free to upload WavSorter to your favorite BBS's
- (in fact, I hope you will). However, please be sure
- to include all the files listed above so that people
- who download WavSorter can use it to its fullest
- capabilities.
-
- 2. If you do upload WavSorter, PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR
- DEFAULT.INI FILE. This file is created the first time
- you use WavSorter and is unique to your preferences.
-
- 3. If you've used previous evaluation versions of WavSorter,
- you may notice that this evaluation version (3.0) contains
- fewer features. This was done for two reasons: 1) to keep
- the size (and download time) of the evaluation version down;
- and 2) to streamline and simplify the installation process.
-
- However, the registered version, WavSorter Pro, still contains
- all of the features and enhancements included in previous
- versions (as well as some additional refinements). WavSorter Pro
- also includes an installation program which makes installing or
- upgrading WavSorter Pro extremely easy.
-
- 3. WavSorter includes a feature called Magic Target Help
- which allows you to easily call up information and help
- on objects and menu items by clicking on them when Magic
- Target Help is turned on. Not all objects in Visual Basic
- respond to clicking, however, so while almost all objects
- in WavSorter's main window respond to Magic Target Help,
- there are a few which do not.
-
- 4. If you would like to use the "jumps" (green text) in the
- Magic Target Help popup windows, turn on Help by choosing
- the Contents item on the Help Menu before turning on
- Magic Target Help (this is optional and is only necessary
- if you want to use the "jumps").
-
- 5. Directories, files, and folders all drag and drop. If
- you're not sure whether or not an object in the main
- window responds to drag and drop, drag something over
- it and watch the OpLight for information.
-
- 6. If you want to get started right away, there's an item on
- the Help Menu called "Getting Started" which will provide
- you with the minimum information necessary to begin using
- WavSorter.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- **WavSorter will not run properly with VBRUN100.DLL or VBRUN200.DLL;
- you must have VBRUN300.DLL in your Windows "system" directory in
- order to use WavSorter. Also, you must have versions of the .vbx
- files with dates of 4/28/93 or later (these are included with
- WavSorter).
-
- You install WavSorter by doing the following:
-
- 1. Create a directory for WavSorter and name it something
- appropriate like "wavsortr", or whatever name you want.
-
- 2. Copy or move the following files to your WavSorter
- directory:
-
- wseval.exe
- ws.hlp
- tech_1.wri
- tech_2.wri
- file_id.diz
- readme.txt
-
- 3. Copy or move the following files to your Windows "system"
- directory (e.g., c:\windows\system):
-
- cmdialog.vbx
- mci.vbx
- threed.vbx
-
- **Note that these .vbx files are included in MicroSoft Visual
- Basic 3.0, both the Standard and Professional editions.
- If you have either of these programs, you already have
- copies of those .vbx's on your computer. Since MicroSoft
- has been known to "slipstream" newer versions of its
- programs without telling anyone, it is always good
- practice to compare the dates of the .vbx's included
- in WavSorter with the dates of the same .vbx's you
- already have on your system so you won't overwrite a
- newer version of the .vbx. This step is, of course,
- optional and doesn't affect WavSorter in any way but it's
- still a good idea to do it.
-
- 4. Create a group and/or program item for WavSorter in
- Program Manager (or your favorite Program Manager
- substitute, if you use one) just like you would for
- any program.
-
- 5. Double-click on the WavSorter icon to start WavSorter.
-
-
- UN-INSTALL
-
- I hope you will like using WavSorter, but if you decide to
- remove it from your computer, do the following:
-
- 1. Delete all the files from your WavSorter directory.
-
- 2. Remove (delete) your WavSorter directory.
-
- 3. Delete the following files from your Windows "system"
- directory:
-
- cmdialog.vbx
- mci.vbx
- threed.vbx
-
- **Note: Do not delete these .vbx files if you have MicroSoft
- Visual Basic, Standard or Professional editions since
- you need these files for yourself. Also, do not delete
- these files if they are needed by another Visual Basic
- application. I know this is probably self-evident but it's
- easy to make mistakes in the heat of the moment.
