- INSTALLING WINZLE!
- ------------------
- Installing Winzle! is easy, but the specific process will vary depending
- on how you received your copy of Winzle!. Two examples are given below. T
- he
- first is for copying from a floppy disk or CD-ROM. The second is for a ZI
- P
- file downloaded from a bulletin board system (BBS).
-
- --------------------------
- From a diskette or CD-ROM:
- --------------------------
- First, create a directory for the Winzle! files:
-
- Using the MS-DOS Prompt Using File Manager
- ----------------------- ------------------
- Type MD\WINZLE Click on the root directory (C:\)
- Press [Enter] Click on File
- Click on Create Directory
- Type Winzle
- Press [Enter]
-
- Next, copy the Winzle! files to the newly created directory.
-
- Using the MS-DOS Prompt Using File Manager
- ----------------------- ------------------
- C: [ENTER] Make sure you have two windows visible in File
- CD\WINZLE [ENTER] Manager. If not, click on Window, then
- COPY A:\*.* C: [ENTER] New Window.
- In one window, click on the WINZLE directory
- (This is an example of you just created.
- copying from a diskette. In the other window, click on the drive
- For a CD-ROM, substitute and then the directory where the Winzle!
- the drive letter and files are located.
- directory of the CD-ROM Click on the first file in the source direct-
- for the A:\) ory, then press the SHIFT key and while
- holding it down click on the last file in
- the source directory. All files in that
- directory will now be highlighted.
- Click again on any of the highlighted files
- but DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON. You
- can now "drag" the files to the WINZLE
- directory in the other window by moving
- the mouse cursor to the WINZLE directory.
- Once the mouse cursor is over the WINZLE
- directory, release the mouse button. This
- will copy all the highlighted files to the
- WINZLE directory.
-
- Finally, install the Winzle! icon on your Program Manager display.
-
- Method 1 Method 2 (the easy way)
- -------- -----------------------
- Using either keyboard or In File Manager, click on WINZLE.EXE in the
- mouse, switch to the program WINZLE directory. DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUS
- E
- group you want to install button. "Drag" the mouse cursor to the
- Winzle! in (usually "GAMES"), Program Manager program group you want t
- o
- then click on: install Winzle! in (usually "GAMES"), then
- File release the mouse button. The Winzle! icon
- New will appear in Program Manager.
- Program Item
- [OK]
-
- Command Line is:
- C:\WINZLE\WINZLE.EXE
-
- Then click on [OK]. (You can
- leave the other lines empty)
-
-
- If you have a registered copy of Winzle!, repeat this step for BMP2WZL.EX
- E.
- This is the program that allows you to create your own puzzles from Windo
- ws
- BMP files.
-
-
-
- ------------------
- From a ZIP'd file:
- ------------------
- For the novice user, it's easiest to "unzip" and install Winzle! from the
- MS-DOS prompt (if you are an experienced user, you probably aren't readin
- g
- these instructions, anyway, so we're going to ignore you for the time bei
- ng).
- Please note that un-Zipping a file requires a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE, which
- is
- available on virtually all bulletin boards and online services such as Ge
- nie
- and CompuServe.
-
- First, create a directory for the Winzle! files. At the MS-DOS prompt, ty
- pe
- "MD\WINZLE" (without the quote marks), and press [Enter]. Next, switch to
- this new WINZLE directory by typing "CD\WINZLE" and pressing [Enter].
-
- Next, unzip WINZLE.ZIP into the newly created directory. As an example, i
- f
- the WINZLE.ZIP file is in the directory C:\DOWNLOAD, then type:
-
- PKUNZIP C:\DOWNLOAD\WINZLE.ZIP
-
- Assuming you are in WINZLE directory, all the Winzle! files will be unzip
- ped
- there (If that's not where you are, no telling where they will end up. Ma
- ke
- sure you type CD\WINZLE before this step).
-
- (By the way, once you have unzipped Winzle! you can delete the WINZLE.ZIP
- file if you want. You won't be needing it anymore.)
-
- Now that the Winzle! files are properly located on your computer, all you
- need to do is install the Winzle! icon on your Program Manager display.
- Return to Windows and:
-
- Method 1 Method 2 (the easy way)
- -------- -----------------------
- Using either keyboard or In File Manager, click on WINZLE.EXE in the
- mouse, switch to the program WINZLE directory. DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUS
- E
- group you want to install button. "Drag" the mouse cursor to the
- Winzle! in (usually "GAMES"), Program Manager program group you want t
- o
- then click on: install Winzle! in (usually "GAMES"), then
- File release the mouse button. The Winzle! icon
- New will appear in Program Manager.
- Program Item
- [OK]
-
- Command Line is:
- C:\WINZLE\WINZLE.EXE
-
- Then click on [OK]. (You can
- leave the other lines empty)
-
-
- If you have a registered copy of Winzle!, repeat this step for BMP2WZL.EX
- E.
- This is the program that allows you to create your own puzzles from Windo
- ws
- BMP files.
-
-
-
- ABOUT VBRUN300.DLL
- ------------------
- All MS Visual Basic 3.0 programs require the use of a library file called
- VBRUN300.DLL. This includes Winzle!. Depending on how you received this
- copy of Winzle! you may or may not have received VBRUN300.DLL.
-
- If you DID receive VBRUN300.DLL with Winzle!:
- ---------------------------------------------
- You may not need it. Check your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to see if a copy
- is already there. If so, then you can delete the copy that came with Winz
- le!.
- If not, you need VBRUN300.DLL either in that directory or in the WINZLE
- directory. We recommend that you place it in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
- so that all programs can share it, thus meaning you only need one copy on
- your computer.
-
- If you DID NOT receive VBRUN300.DLL with Winzle!:
- -------------------------------------------------
- You may not need it. Check your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to see if a copy
- is already there. If so, then you are set -- you don't need another copy.
- On the other hand, if there is NOT a copy already on your system then
- you need to get a copy (by the way, we apologize for not including it, bu
- t
- most BBS's and information services prefer that we don't. Otherwise,
- there would be thousands of duplicate copies of this file included with
- other programs, taking up disk space better used for other things). Like
- PKUNZIP, copies are available free on most BBS's and information services
- like CompuServe and Genie. If you got Winzle! off a CD-ROM, there is prob
- ably
- a copy available somewhere on that CD.
-
-
