Installation
2 - Hardware and software requirements
CDProW runs under either MS Windows 3.0 or greater or IBM OS/2 2.0
or greater. Version 3.1 of the MS help system is necessary in
order to view the online help.
The MS Visual Basic runtime module VBRUN300.DLL is required by this
program. In order to save on download time, this module is not
included with CDProW. However, it is readily available on
Compuserve along with other online services. On Compuserve, check
the WINSHARE forum for the latest copy of VBRUN300.DLL. On America
Online, VBRUN300.DLL can be found by doing a software search.
There is no distribution or registration fee required for this
module since it is freely distributed by Microsoft for programs
written in Visual Basic.
CDProW uses approx. 335,000 bytes of disk space for it's initial
installation. This includes demo files and documentation. Add to
this figure the size of VBRUN300.DLL which is approx. 400,000
bytes.
3 - Installation Steps
1. Make a directory called CRPROW and unzip all files into this
directory. You have obviously already done this otherwise
you would not be reading this.
2. If you have not already installed a copy of VBRUN300.DLL in
your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, do so now. For OS/2 users,
copy this DLL into your \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory.
CDProW also works with VBRUN300.DLL in your CDPROW directory
but most users will want to move it to one central location
to avoid multiple copies of this DLL.
3. From your Windows program manager, select File, then New to
setup a new program item.
Description CDProW
Command Line <drive>:\CDPROW\CDPROW.EXE
Working Directory <drive>:\CDPROW
4. That's all - the installation is complete.
The following files that are included with CDPROW may be moved to
your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if you wish. The only reason to do
so would be if you have other Visual Basic programs that make use
of these same files. If this is the case, then having only one
copy of these files on your hard disk will save space.
CMDIALOG.VBX
COMMDLG.DLL
THREED.VBX
4 - Files and their locations
The following list includes all files provided by Perigee Systems
with CDProW as well as other files that are needed.

or the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory on an OS/2 system.
3. EITHER means that these files can reside in either place.
