This freeware edition of the 1995 Internet Lexicon
is distributed as a thank-you from Dynamic Living Media
to freeware and shareware authors everywhere for
lightening our load and providing us with guilt-free
tools and toys for so many years.
It is also freeware because a tool like this has been
needed for Windows for many years, and cost ought not
be a barrier for such a vital resource.
This work is protected by copyright. For information
on the expanded, integrated PC/Internet Lexicon, please
contact Cub Lea at Dynamic Living Media, (604)298-6415;
on the Internet at cublea@cyberstore.ca or on
CompuServe at 103076,1667. Site licenses and custom
versions are available.
KNOWN BUGS:
The graphics and opening screens will not display
properly on systems using CGA, EGA or large-font
VGA, SVGA and XGA systems. This is due to the way
Windows Help handles graphics when large fonts are
selected, and you will find that 90 percent of
Windows help files have the same problem. This bug
occurs on Windows 3.1/3.11 and Windows 95. We
recommend the following as a fix:
Windows 3.1/3.11:
----------------
If your main problem is the small size of icon titles,
add the following line to your WIN.INI file under the
[Desktop] section:
IconTitleSize=12
You can change this line incrementally to suit. This
should allow you to use small fonts and have better
visibility of icon titles as well as graphical
compatibility with Windows help tools.
Windows 95:
----------
The same applies. It's probably the size of your Start
menu text and dialog box text that prompted you to
select large fonts. We recommend obtaining a program
called TWEAKUI.EXE, one of the free "power tools"
from Microsoft for Win95, from Microsoft's Web site or
one of several locations on the Internet. We are not
giving the URL here since Microsoft has a habit of
changing its URLs with alarming frequency, messing
up everyone. Instead, try a search for:
WINDOWS 95 POWERTOYS
...or...
WINDOWS 95 POWER TOYS
...using Yahoo or Webcrawler. Many people have this
utility linked to their Web pages.
This utility may be used for fixing a lot more than
just the size of Start menu and dialog text, and if
you're a heavy Windows user you will find it
very useful.
