- WINWHEEL INSTALL.DOC
- Installation Instructions
- Since WINWHEEL is a Windows application, it is installed similar to
- other Windows application. You may wish to review the procedure by
- referring to your Windows 3.0 User's Guide, pp.87-96, or Windows 3.1
- User's Guide.
- BBS and Shareware Vendor copies of the program does not include an
- automated installation program because of file limit size.
- This program will not run from a CD-ROM, because it saves setups and
- other information while it is running.
-
- With Windows 3.0,it is necessary for the user to copy the SOUND.DRV
- file as explained below!
-
- INSTALLATION
- Install WINWHEEL by first making a directory on your hard drive called
- WINWHEEL. For example, type:
- MD C:\WINWHEEL
- You may choose a different hard drive other than the C: drive if you wish.
- Then copy the following files into this directory. You must have already
- unzipped the distribution file into another directory onto your hard drive.
- It is recommended that you copy the VBRUN100.DLL file as well as files with
- VBX extensions into your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. This will save drive
- space if you have several applications written with Visual Basic. You will
- need to keep VBBRUN100.DLL even if some of your applications were written in
- Visual Basic 2.0 and use the VBRUN200.DLL file.
-
-
- There is a bug in the SOUND.DRV file that comes with Windows V.3.0.
- The bug causes all sounds to be played slowly, ignoring any tempo commands in
- programs. A replacement file is provided here which must be copied to your
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory in order for the sounds to work properly. This
- file is provided by Micro Help Inc. If you have previously been using
- the shareware version 1.20 of WINWHEEL, then you should already have received
- the new SOUND.DRV file and copied it to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
- If you have Windows 3.1, DO NOT copy the SOUND.DRV file!
-
- INSTALLATION IN A WINDOWS GROUP
- 1. You must choose into which program group you wish to install WINWHEEL. You
- may create a program group by selecting Files, New, Group in Program
- Manager. You may have already created a GAMES group for all of your
- games. Select this group by clicking on it with your mouse.
- 2. Now in the PROGRAM MANAGER, Select File, NEW, Program Item, OK. Type in
- WINWHEEL for the Description; and for the Command Line, type in the path
- and file name, including the drive, where the WINWHEEL files reside. Now
- select OK. (i.e. C:\WINWHEEL\WINWHEEL.EXE).
-
- You may also do the same for EDITWHEE.EXE to add it's icon to your GAMES group.
- To run WINWHEEL, just double-click the mouse on the WINWHEEL icon, and
- enjoy.
-
- Note that WINWHEEL is Shareware and not freeware. If you continue to
- use WINWHEEL then you are obligated to register it. Registration
- information is contained in the menu within the game. If you have already
- registered, then the author Thanks You for supporting the shareware concept of
- software distribution.
-
- *Note about VBRUN100.DLL. This is the run-time dynamic link library
- required by programs written with Microsoft Visual Basic. If you have
- other programs written in this language, you will save disk space by
- moving this file into your Windows directory, since only one copy of
- this file is required, and the Windows subdirectory is in the path
- statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The files MHTI200.VBX, MHTI200.VBX,
- THREED.VBX, and MUSCLE.VBX are other run-time module which may be used by
- other Visual Basic programs, and may also be moved to your Windows
- subdirectory. If you acquired WINWHEEL from an electronic Bulletin Board,
- a Shareware disk vendor, or from Compuserve, and did not get the VBRUN100.DLL
- file, then you must get it in order for WINWHEEL to run. On Compuserve,
- GO MSBASIC and download the file VBRUN.ZIP from library 5. Or contact your
- disk vendor for the file. Or you may request it from the author at the
- registration address. Include $2.00 for shipping and handling.
