1.0 - Installation
The zip file should have included the following:
winmaze.scr - The screen saver
winmaze.wri - This file
readme.txt - An overview text file
orderfrm.txt - A text version of the order form for printing.
To install the winmaze screen saver, simply copy winmaze.scr into your
primary windows directory (the same directory win.com is in). For example,
if windows is installed in c:\windows and you are at a dos prompt in the
same directory as winmaze.scr, you can type:
copy winmaze.scr c:\windows
This will complete the installation. If you run the Desktop control panel,
you will see 'Maze Solver' as one of the screen savers. Read the rest of
this manual for instructions on configuring the screen saver. You may keep
winmaze.wri and readme.txt anywhere you like.
2.0 - Hardware/Software requirements
The Maze Solver screen saver should run on any 286 or higher system running
Microsoft Windows version 3.1. There are reports that this screen saver may
have difficulty under the Norton Screen Saver, but we have not confirmed this.
Registered users also receive a version that runs under Windows NT.
3.0 - Disclaimers
While care has been taken to ensure the quality of this product, we cannot
be responsible if this product destroys your computer, your life, or the
universe as we know it.
4.0 - Registration
If you are reading this, we are impressed. Registration is $15. The
registration form is contained in orderfrm.txt and at the end of winmaze.wri.
After registering, you will receive two disks (one PC, one Mac) which
includes the most recent versions of the following:
- MS Windows 3.1 Maze Solver screen saver/program with password
protection.
- MS Windows NT 3.1 Maze Solver screen saver/program for Intel based
computers. (Password protection is built-into NT.)
- Macintosh Maze Solver screen saver for After Dark and Darkside of
the Mac.
- Macintosh Maze Solver application program.
5.0 - General Info
Once installed and selected as the current screen saver, Maze Solver will
run with default settings without any other configuration information. If you
choose to further configure Maze Solver, see the following sections describing
the dialog boxes and configuration options. Almost every facet of Maze Solver
can be configured.
Maze Solver also runs correctly as an executable application. Change the name
of the file winmaze.scr to winmaze.exe and put it in any directory you want.
The primary item missing as an executable is that the size of the maze will
always be the full size of the window.
The screen saver will store any needed configuration information in a .INI file
that is in the same directory as the program. Under WinNT, this information is
stored in the screen saver portion of the current user's registry. (Yes, each
user can have their own settings).
The registered version of Maze Solver has password protection that we believe
to be at least equal to the security provided with the built-in Windows screen
savers. Unfortunately, built-in detection of network passwords is not
supported. The registered version also comes with Macintosh-After Dark,
Macintosh stand alone, and MS Windows NT versions of the screen saver.
Please see winmaze.wri for other documentation, including configuration and
common questions and answers.
