- Installing Embellish
- -------------------------
- OS/2: If installing from CD-ROM, go to the OS2 directory
- and run install.
-
- Win95: If installing from CD-ROM, go to the WIN95 directory
- and run setup.
- Because of the way Windows handles file associations
- (the .bmp like extension of file names), the installation
- for Embellish is broken into 2 parts. The first is
- accomplished by the setup.exe command. After running
- this, Embellish can be run and is fully functional.
- However Embellish will not be associated with any of
- the graphics files it can read.
-
- When a program is associated with a file extension, the
- program's icon will be shown when you view the file's
- icon and the program will be launched when the user
- double clicks on the file's icon.
-
- We do this 2 part install because you may want to keep
- files associated with an image viewer, a web browser or
- whatever. If you decide that you do want the file's
- associated with Embellish, run the program regsetup.exe
- after installing Embellish (it will be in the same
- directory as Embellish). Read the instructions it
- provides and be sure to not to destroy the backup file
- it creates. This file is needed if you ever want to
- uninstall Embellish.
-
-
- If the files are downloaded or from floppy disks, run the commands
- listed above but do not change to the specified directory first.
-
- Un-Installing Embellish
- -------------------------
- OS/2: Run INSTALL.EXE (which is included on the first disk or CDROM) to
- uninstall Embellish. When running install, choose 'Delete and
- reinstall'. Select the Embellish component to delete. After the deletion
- has occured, the install program will prompt you about
- re-installing. At this point exit the install procedure and
- Embellish will have been removed.
-
- Win95: Double-Click on the 'My Computer' icon. In the folder that is displayed,
- find 'Control Panel' and Double-Click. Choose 'Add/Remove Programs'
- and Double-Click. Look for the Embellish entry in the listbox, select it
- and choose remove. If you did the file association (regsetup)
- mentioned in the install section, you will need to run it again
- before you perform the normal un-install.
-
