- The program MagicMkr (MMK10.ZIP) is released by the author (Ron Lewis) as
- FREEWARE. The author retains all rights to the program.
- This is not Public Domain software. You may use and or
- copy this program with all files and documentation free of charge.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- This program requires MS-DOS 3.3 or above, Windows 3.1, a 24 bit video card
- to view 24-bit pictures properly and a sound card or speaker driver for the
- help file.
- NOTE: 24-bit pictures will display without a 24-bit card but just won't
- dither properly. A sound card recommended but not required.
- Recommend 386/33 W/4MB RAM or better machine.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
- I decided not to make an installation program. Many people have complained
- lately about how an install program places files all over their hard drive
- and edits their WIN.INI file without letting them know what it did.
- To install this program you need to copy the following files as such:
- (Make sure you don't copy an older file over a newer one. Check file
- dates before replacing.) Also to reduce the file size for downloads and
- not make people download duplicate files I did not include VBRUN300.DLL.
- This program requires VBRUN300.DLL to be in your Windows or Windows System
- directory. If you do not have this file it is available on most BBS'as
- VBRUN300.ZIP.
- If you have an older version of one or more of these files in a directory
- path that is before where you install these, the program will not load.
- Make copies of these older files and put them on a floppy. Then remove
- the older ones from your hard drive.
-
- COPY THE FOLLOWING FILES INTO ANY DIRECTORY YOU MAKE OR CHOOSE:
- (Example: C:\MAGICMKR)
- GOODBYE.WAV MAGICMKR.EXE
- MAGICMKR.HLP README.1ST
-
- The file GOODBYE.WAV needs to be in the same directory as the help file
- in order to use it with the exit command.
-
- COPY THE FOLLOWING FILES INTO YOUR WINDOWS SYSTEM DIRECTORY:
- (Example: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM)
- CMDIALOG.VBX IMGBMP.DIL IMGEPSF.DIL
- IMGGIF.DIL IMGPCX.DIL IMGTGA.DIL
- IMGTIFF.DIL IMGWMF.DIL IMGXBMP.DEL
- IMGXPCX.DEL IMGXTIF.DEL IMGX.DLL
- IMVB1.VBX THREED.VBX
-
- Once these files are copied you need to create an icon to run the program
- in Windows by either dragging the file MAGICMKR.EXE into an existing group
- from the file manager or by using the file new method.
-
- TO UNINSTALL THIS PROGRAM DELETE THE FOLLOWING FILES:
- GOODBYE.WAV MAGICMKR.EXE MAGICMKR.HLP
- README.1ST IMGBMP.DIL IMGEPSF.DIL
- IMGGIF.DIL IMGPCX.DIL IMGTGA.DIL
- IMGTIFF.DIL IMGWMF.DIL IMGXBMP.DEL
- IMGXPCX.DEL IMGXTIF.DEL IMGX.DLL
- IMVB1.VBX
-
- Do not delete CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, or VBRUN300.DLL as these files may
- be used by other programs on your hard drive.
