- 0. INTRODUCTION
- ===============
-
- This file is README.TXT. It contains information about
- MOZART and how to register, and uninstall it. Installation
- instructions are given in the file README.1ST which is
- recommended reading prior to installation.
-
-
- 1. Running MOZART
- =================
-
- Having completed the setup as described in README.1ST, you
- are now ready to run MOZART: just click on the icon which
- has been set up for you in the Mozart group of Windows
- programs.
-
- If there are any problems getting MOZART running, read the
- section on trouble-shooting below.
-
- Unlike many word processors, MOZART does not automatically
- open a blank document when you start it up: you must choose
- "New..." or "Open..." from the "File" menu in order to get
- going. This is explained in the item "Getting started" which
- is available on the Help menu.
-
- Once you have got over the basics, the index of commands, also
- available from the Help menu, will guide you to the more advanced
- editing options.
-
- The supplied sample tunes also contain comments at the top which
- illustrate certain features.
-
- Have fun!
-
-
- 2. Files installed
- ==================
-
- The following files are installed in the MOZART directory:
-
- Program files:
-
- MOZART.EXE MOZART0.DLL MOZARTF.DLL
- MOZARTS.DLL MWCNTL.DLL MOZART.HLP
-
- Information files (readable with Windows Notepad):
-
- README.1ST README.TXT
- FILE_ID.DIZ VENDOR.TXT
-
- Registration files (readable with Windows Write):
-
- REGISTER.WRI
-
- A diary file listing improvements since previous versions
- (also readable with Windows Write):
-
- DIARY.WRI
-
- In addition to the icon for running MOZART, Windows icons
- are installed by SETTUP.EXE to give direct access to
- MOZART.HLP (the help system), README.TXT (this file)
- and REGISTER.WRI (the registration form).
-
- The following files are installed in your WINDOWS directory
- (unless you already have newer versions):
-
- CTL3DV2.DLL BWCC.DLL BWCC0007.DLL
- BWCC0009.DLL BWCC000C.DLL
-
- In addition, various MOZART data files (*.MZ) containing
- sample tunes are installed in your MOZART TUNES directory.
-
-
- 3. Uninstallation
- =================
-
- Should you find that MOZART does not suit your needs, or if
- you are temporarily really desperate for hard disk space,
- you may uninstall MOZART as follows.
-
- a) Keep your original installation files (eg on floppy
- disk) as you may wish to reinstall MOZART.
- BUT PLEASE NOTE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS if you are
- using a shareware evaluation copy.
-
- b) All the files listed above as being installed in the MOZART
- directory may be deleted.
-
- c) All your tune files (*.mz) may be removed from your hard
- disk. (Only MOZART can read them.)
-
- d) Delete the file MOZART.INI if it is present in your
- Windows directory.
-
- e) Retain CTL3DV2.DLL BWCC.DLL BWCC0007.DLL BWCC0009.DLL
- and BWCC000C.DLL in your WINDOWS directory, as these
- are general utilities and may be used by other programs.
- (Unless of course you are sure that you have NO other
- program which uses them. But some other application
- will probably only install them again anyway, and so
- it's best just to leave them.)
-
- f) Delete the MOZART group of icons from the Windows
- Program Manager (using "Delete" from the "File" menu).
-
-
- 4. Registration benefits
- ========================
-
- If you have registerd MOZART, thank you.
-
- Otherwise please read this:
-
- MOZART is Shareware. You may evaluate it for a period of not
- more than 30 days. If you find it useful after this period
- you must pay for it. Please see the separate registration
- form for details of how to register the program, and the
- (modest) charge. If you do not intend to register the program
- after the evaluation period you must delete it from your hard
- disk. (See "uninstallation" above.)
-
- There are significant benefits to registering your copy.
-
- Upon registration you will receive:-
-
- A registered copy of the latest version of MOZART.
-
- A number of extra sample data files with different pieces
- (and more illustrations of different features).
-
- Support, and the opportunity to influence the introduction
- of new features into future versions. (Suggestions are
- very welcome from registered users.)
-
- Notification of upgrades to the program, and information
- about new and complementary products.
-
- Optionally, at a (modest) extra charge, you may purchase
- the non-shareware "virtuoso" version of Mozart which goes
- beyond the solos, duets and trios of the standard (Shareware)
- edition allowing up to 64 part music.
-
- And apart from all that, you get the comfort of knowing
- that you are helping to support the Shareware concept, a
- distribution system that brings you quality software at
- realistic prices.
-
- 5. So what is Shareware?
- ========================
-
- Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by
- authors through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk
- vendors, and by copies being passed among friends. It is
- commercial software that you are allowed to try before you
- pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back
- guarantees - if you don't like the product, you don't pay
- for it!
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
- There is good and bad shareware, just as there is good and
- bad retail software. The primary difference between
- shareware and retail software is that with shareware you
- know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
-
- You benefit because you get to use the software to determine
- whether it meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors
- benefit because they are able to get their products into
- your hands without the expenses it takes to launch a
- traditional retail software product.
-
- The shareware system and the continued availability of
- quality shareware products depend on your willingness to
- register and pay for the shareware you use. It is the
- registration fees you pay which allow us to support and
- continue to develop our products. Please show your support
- for shareware by registering those programs you actually
- use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept
- alive by your support!
-
-
- 6. Trouble-shooting
- ===================
-
- MOZART has been developed over a period of years and used
- by the author and other beta-testers before the release.
- (Some of the sample tunes were kindly supplied by beta-
- testers.) Every effort has been made to ensure its stability
- on a range of computers.
-
-
- 6.1 Inconsistent BWCC.DLL
- -------------------------
-
- If MOZART refuses to run and puts up a message box complaining
- about an inconsistent version of the BWCC libraries, the cause
- and the cure are as follows.
-
- 6.1.1 Cause:
-
- MOZART uses the following public Dynamic Link Libraries (in
- addition to some private ones of its own):
-
- CTL3DV2.DLL from Microsoft and
- BWCC.DLL, BWCC0007.DLL, BWCC0009.DLL, BWCC000C.DLL from
- Borland.
-
- MOZART v1 is written with Borland C++ version 4.02 and will
- not work with versiuons of the BWCC libraries supplied with
- earlier versions of Borland C++. Attempting to do so causes
- the response described above. The MOZART setup program installs
- these (at time-of-writing up-to-date) libraries in your WINDOWS
- directory, unless you already have newer ones there. Older
- versions in your Windows directory will be overwritten, but old
- applications will work with the newer libraries - they are
- designed like that!
-
- The problem arises if you have old versions of the BWCC
- libraries somewhere else on your machine. It is possible that
- MOZART will find this instead of the newer version and then fail.
- (This will happen, for example, if you are already running an
- application, which is using one of these libraries. Any program
- requiring a library of that name will simply try to use the one
- in memory.)
-
- This is a particular nuisance as many older applications install
- BWCC libraries all over the place. They shouldn't. (Note that
- CTL3DV2.DLL has been designed so that it will only run if it is
- in your WINDOWS or WINDOWS SYSTEM directory - just to avoid
- potential problems of this nature.)
-
-
- 6.1.2 Cure
-
- Go to the DOS prompt in the root directory (usually C:\) on
- you hard drive. Enter
-
- DIR /s BWCC*.DLL
-
- to locate all versions of BWCC libraries on your machine. Make
- sure you have back-ups of them all, and remove them all - except
- one up-to-date set, which should be left in the WINDOWS directory
- (in preference to the WINDOWS SYSTEM directory, which is read-only
- on some networked machines).
-
- Well written applications should find the newer libraries in the
- WINDOWS directory and, as the newer ones are backwards-compatible,
- should still work perfectly normally.
-
- Before trying MOZART again, exit from Windows and run it again (to
- be absolutelty sure that no old DLL's are left running in memory).
-
- All should now be well.
-
- When you install new software it is worth checking that it doesn't
- install older versions of these libraries in its own directory. If
- it does then the above problem can potentially recur.
-
-
- 6.2 Other faults
- ----------------
-
- Every effort is made to ensure that MOZART runs on all systems with
- Windows 3.1. Release 1.0.2 however failed on systems with certain
- super-VGA video cards/drivers. This was corrected within 1 week at
- Release 1.1.0 on all systems to which the author has, or could gain,
- access. Just in case there are any remaining conflicts, please check
- to see whether the problem persists using standard VGA drivers before
- contacting the author. This information will help ensure a speedy
- correction to the fault.
