- Write)
- DOC.EXE (a two chapter SAMPLE with greyscale and 256 colour art, for use with

- 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.

-
- 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.
