Overview |
|
___________!
The above listed archives contain the latest version of Dieter Fiebelkorn's
popular GEM-View File and Image Viewer for the Atari ST/TT/Falcon
computers. Version 2.46 is now available for downloading in library 28.
Run 'GVW_INST.APP' to install GEM-View (and type in your registration
number, your name and your code/key if you already registered a previous
copy of GEM-View >2.32). Please type your name in precisely the same way as
it appears on the registration slip, observing capital/non-capital letters,
spaces and special characters. The program will then be automatically
upgraded and registered in your name. See below for more instructions for
generating a unregistered version.
During this process you may, if you wish, install the programs in a
directory other than the default directory. To do this, click on the empty
box below the word "Pfad:/Path:" and choose the destination directory from
the resulting selection box.
Please check the 'Archives and Files' section below for the contents of the
archives (GVW_V???.PAX, GVW_TOL?.PAX und GVW_PIC?.PAX) for more details
about the files and subdirectories that will be created.

Special |
Notes |
|
___________!
* The installation program will go through a general depacking and
installation process, which is not dependent on your computer type.
After installation you can use all the file in their uncompressed
state.
* You can start the installation from Floppy Disk, RAM-Disk or Hard-Disk.
It is, however, essential that the archives ( the .PAX files ) are in
the same directory as 'GVW_INST.APP'.
* Before an existing file is overwritten, you will be asked for
confirmation to proceed.
* Using 'GVW_INST.APP' doesn't modify the archives so you can copy this
disk after installation and give it to a friend! However, you have to
keep your personal key secret.
If you registered an earlier version of GEM-View, and do not know your
code/key, you can obtain it as follows:
* Send e-mail to Dieter Fiebelkorn's e-mail address (see Copyright Dialog
in GEM-View), with the following 'Subject:'
Register GEM-View: "#001234", "Norman User"
replacing the number by your own registration-number -see below- and
"Norman User" with your own name which must be spelled correctly,
observing capital/non-capital letters, spaces and special characters.
(You can find out your registration number quite simply by running your
old GEMVIEW version, then load the old GEMVIEW.PRG - as if it were an
image file!. When it is listed as a plain hex-dump, look to the right
of the third line to find a number preceded by '#'. That is your own
registration-number! )
OR
* Send Dieter Fiebelkorn a letter with two CRI (international reply
coupons), which you can get at your post-office, saying that you want
to know your code/key. In this case your full name will be enough but
please write clearly and legibly! His address: Dieter Fiebelkorn,
Gruener Weg 29a, D-45768 Marl, Fed. Rep. of Germany.
Note: There has been a change in the german ZIP code system lately.
Please discontinue the use of the old ZIP code, since it will
unnecessarily delay your mail.
