- Entering the Product Registration ID for PolyTrans
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- The following information only applies to the command line versions of
- PolyTrans. To enter the product registration ID for the graphical user
- interface version(s) of PolyTrans a dialog box will appear when the
- program first executes.
-
- In order to run the PolyTrans program in fully operational mode a product
- registration ID must be supplied to it. This ID is specified in the file
- "setup.ini" on the line that begins with "setenv NG_PRODUCT_ID" (the last
- line of the file).
-
- You have to manually edit the "setup.ini" file and enter the product
- registration ID number which was provided with your PolyTrans distribution
- (it is listed both on the front page of the PolyTrans manual, on the CDROM
- case/envelope and on your registration card). After entering the product ID
- number the text within the "setup.ini" file should appear similar to this:
-
- # Product registration ID. This is obtained from Okino Computer
- # Graphics once you have purchased the product.
- setenv NG_PRODUCT_ID = "D10-x86-0789-74235446"
-
- If the product registration ID is not entered, or it is incorrect, then PolyTrans
- will run in demonstration mode in which every 5th polygon will be missing from
- the exported data set.
-
- Running the DOS, NT-CMD, SUN & SGI Demonstration Versions
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you received PolyTrans on CDROM then the CDROM will contain all current
- versions of the PolyTrans program in the "\install\polytran" directory,
- including the DOS, Windows NT/95 command line, Windows graphical interface
- versions, SUN and SGI versions. These are all fully working versions of the
- PolyTrans program but, unless you purchased a license for a specific platform
- version, they will only run in demonstration mode. To install these
- demonstration versions please follow the instructions listed on the previous
- pages of this manual.
-
- How can I remove Win32s? from Windows 3.1?
- ------------------------------------------
-
- To remove Win32s:
-
- 1. Remove the following line from the [386Enh] section in the SYSTEM.INI file
-
- device=<WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\win32s\w32s.386
-
- where <WINDOWS> and <SYSTEM> are where the Windows and System directories are, respectively.
-
- 2. Modify the following line from the [BOOT] section in the SYSTEM.INI file
-
- drivers=mmsystem.dll winmm16.dll
-
- to the following (remove winmm16.dll)
-
- drivers=mmsystem.dll
-
- 3. Delete the following files from the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM> subdirectory or from the SYSTEM directory in network installations:
-
- W32SYS.DLL
- WIN32S16.DLL
- WIN32S.INI
-
- 4. Delete all the files in the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\WIN32S subdirectory or the <SYSTEM>\WIN32S subdirectory in network installations.
- Then delete subdirectory itself.
-
- 5. Restart Windows.
-
- NOTE: <WINDOWS> refers to the windows installation directory. On a networked Windows installation, the system directory may be located
- on a remote share. If you are only removing Win32s from your machine, then you do not need to remove the shared files (in <SYSTEM> and
- <SYSTEM>\WIN32S). Before removing these files from the network share, make sure that all users that use Win32s have removed the
- references to Win32s from the SYSTEM.INI file.
