INTRODUCTION

WinBench
Version 3.11
Release date: February 1993

WinBench(tm) is the PC Magazine Windows Benchmark suite.  It provides
comprehensive graphics benchmark tests using the Windows Graphical Device
Interface (GDI) and selected high-level user interface functions. Version 3.1,
the fourth major release of WinBench, added tests of hard disk subsystems.
Version 3.11 is a maintenance release.

WHAT YOU NEED TO RUN WINBENCH

To run WinBench, you need to have the following hardware and software.

WinBench requires:

      . A PC that runs Windows 3.0 or 3.1
      . A  graphics adapter and Windows driver capable of a resolution of at
    least 640x480 pixels.  Correct operation and accurate results from
    running WinBench are not guaranteed if the tested graphics resolution
    is less than either 640 pixels wide or 480 pixels high.
      . About 300,000 bytes available on your hard disk for the WinBench
    software itself
      . About 9 million bytes of available space on your hard disk for a
    temporary file to run the WinBench disk tests, and to save the results
    of any WinBench tests that you run.  If your hard disk does not have
    enough space for the work file, WinBench will not run the hard disk
    tests.
      . MS-DOS Release 3.1 or later (Release 5.0 recommended)
      . Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later (Release 3.1 or later recommended),
    running in either Standard or Enhanced mode.

BACKGROUND

WinBench 3.11 and the Graphics WINMARK reflect how the leading Windows
applications use the Windows environment.  We used Microsoft Test to capture
repeatable scripts that represent typical use of eight Windows applications
which are market leaders in their respective product categories.  Then, we ran
the scripts on standard configurations using Microsoft's Logger and Profiler
tools to record information about the Windows functions used by these
applications.  Finally, we analyzed the log and profile data to construct a
composite picture of the most frequently used GDI functions and the
characteristics of these functions.

Ziff-Davis Publishing Company is committed to provide the PC industry with
high quality state-of-the-art benchmark software.  The Ziff-Davis Benchmark
Operation carries out the on-going mission to develop benchmarks by
instrumenting and analyzing how major Windows applications use the Windows
environment, using the best profiling and instrumentation tools available.
Subsequent releases of WinBench may reflect adjustments in both the functions
used and their weights, depending on the results of the analysis.

INSTALLING WINBENCH

WinBench is distributed as a pair of files: this README file and a
self-extracting executable file, WINB311.EXE.  The self-extracting file
contains WINBENCH.EXE, the benchmark program itself, and WINBENCH.HLP,
the on-line help for WinBench.

You will probably want to create a directory that contains the WinBench files,
and that will contain all of the report files generated by WinBench.  For
example, you could use the following DOS commands to create the WINBENCH
directory on your C: drive, and to change to that directory:

    MD C:\WINBENCH
    CD C:\WINBENCH

Then, execute the self-extracting WINB31 program to install all of the
files from the WinBench diskette. If the WinBench diskette is in the
A: drive of your PC, and you created the WINBENCH directory as
shown above, do the following command:

    A:WINB311

Finally, copy this file to the same directory:

    COPY A:README

HOW TO USE WINBENCH

You launch WinBench just like any other Windows application:

1.  After installing WinBench as shown above, you may execute the DOS
command:

    WIN WINBENCH

2. You may open up the file manager, go to the WinBench directory on your C:
drive, and double-click on WINBENCH.EXE.

For other instructions, see the on-line help for WinBench.
