The self-extracting file BLOODSNG.EXE should contain the following;
Install.Txt (This document)
WRI.EXE (the FULL novel with 256 colour artwork, for use with Windows
Write)
DOC.EXE (a two chapter SAMPLE with greyscale and 256 colour art, for use with
Word 6.0 for Windows)
TBC.ICO (an icon for use with either of the above, in creating an Electronic
Library group)
INSTALLATION
Neither the full or sample versions can be viewed from the floppy disk, or
until they have been expanded. Versions MUST be decompressed from
self-extracting files to your hard disk, then accessed using the appropriate
Wordprocessor. We suggest that after unzipping Bloodsng.Exe to a TEMP
directory, you move the file WRI.EXE to your WINDOWS directory, or the file
DOC.EXE to your WINWORD directory. Then simply log on to the appropriate
directory at the DOS prompt, i.e. CD Windows (for Write version) or CD
Winword (for Word 6.0 version) and type Wri.Exe (if installing Write version)
or Doc.Exe (if installing Word 6.0 for Windows version) followed by ENTER.
After installation/ decompression the file TBC.Wri or TBC.Doc can be retrieved
in the normal manner. Full screen mode is strongly recommended for ease of
viewing.
Creating An Electronic Library Group within Windows
This section is really meant for inexperienced or newer users, so if you're
already confident, you can skip it. For those who need a bit of help, don't
worry, it's an easy process. Start by installing the appropriate file, as
decribed above. If you have already done that, follow the steps listed below.
1 - Launch Windows
2 - From the Program Manager window click on File, then New. A box titled
New Program Object will appear. Make sure that New Program Group is
highlighted, then click on the Okay button. Another box will appear
titled Program Group Properties. In the Description Field, type
Electronic Library. Then click on the Okay button. Your new group
will appear, as if by magic, and can be sized to whatever dimensions
you prefer. Now, to put your first novel in the new group click on File,
then New. This time when the box appears make sure that Program Item
is highlighted, and click on the Okay button. Another box will pop up,
titled Program Item Properties. Don't panic, it isn't anywhere near as
difficult as it looks to fill in. Simply type the following
information into each of the boxes.
For use with Windows Write
DESCRIPTION: The Bloodsong's Calling
COMMAND LINE: Write C:\Windows\TBC.Wri
WORKING DIRECTORY: C:\Windows
For use with Word 6.0 For Windows
DESCRIPTION: The Bloodsong's Calling
COMMAND LINE: C:\Winword\TBC.Doc
WORKING DIRECTORY: C:\Winword
Almost there now. Next, click on the Change Icon button, and in the pop up
box click on the Browse button. From the list that appears, find the TBC.ICO
in TEMP, or whichever directory you first unzipped to, then double-click on
its file. The Bloodsong's Calling icon should appear in the current icon
window. To approve it click on Okay, then Okay again.
That's all! You now have an Electronic Library Group, containing one
illustrated novel. Simply repeat the process from Program Item onwards,
(changing the names where necessary), to add any new novels, DOC files
supported by Word 6.0 For Windows, or Windows Write files. To read a title,
all you need to do is double click on its icon.
