QUICK START GUIDE
----------- HOW TO INSTALL! ----------------------------------------
1. Create a temporary directory
2. Unzip the PKZIP file into that new directory
3. Run SETUP.EXE
4. Dial and connect with your SLIP/PPP provider using a Winsock dialer
program, such as Trumpet Winsock's TCPMAN.EXE, or Internet in a Box's
AIRDIAL.EXE
If you don't have Trumpet Winsock, you can get a copy from
ftp.trumpet.com.au in the /ftp/pub/winsock directory.
The usual filename is in the format: TWSCK??.ZIP
If you are not dialed in, connected and logged in, this program will not work.
----------- HOW DO I RUN THIS AUTOMATED? ------------------------------
To run an agenda without being home, (not available in lite version),
specify the agenda you want to run on the command line.
For example, add: AUTOWNET.EXE MYAGENDA to your scheduler program.
This will run MYAGENDA agenda at whatever time you specify.
If you don't have a scheduler program, there are TONS of them
available as shareware from your local bulletin boards.
If you're running Internet in a Box, your dialer will load automatically,
and log you into the Internet.
If you use Trumpet Winsock's TCPMAN.EXE, make sure that TCPMAN.EXE,
LOGIN.CMD, TWINSOCK.INI and TRUMWSK.INI are in your Windows directory!
Otherwise, he doesn't work.
When AUTOWINnet is done, he will unload himself, along with the
dialing program, and your Winsock.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a bug in Trumpet Winsock, he doesn't hang
up when exiting. Be patient - he'll hang the modem up
about five minutes after exiting!
----------- FREQUENT SETUP PROBLEMS ----------------------------------
PARADOX ERROR 144 -
You already have a PARADOX engine setup inside WIN.INI. Open notepad and
edit WIN.INI, renaming any previous paradox statements.
MISCELLANEOUS PARADOX ERRORS -
You already have a PARADOX engine setup inside WIN.INI. Open notepad and
edit WIN.INI, renaming any previous paradox statements.
FILES DO NOT EXPAND -
All enclosed files are compressed using Microsoft's default compression
program. Make sure you have LZEXPAND.DLL in your windows system directory,
otherwise, files will not expand properly.
If everything totally crashes, run the setup program again.
SOUNDS -
Setup.exe has embedded sounds and animated icons. If you cannot play sounds
under Windows, then the dialog may look odd.
DOES NOT WORK WITH TIA -
T.I.A. is a program that emulates SLIP account access on a SHELL account.
This don't work with AutoWinNet!
Please get a PPP/SLIP account, then try this program again...
----------- YOUR FIRST AGENDA ----------------------------------------
Choose ONLINE OPERATIONS from the main menu
Select FIRST AGENDA
Click RUN at the bottom of the dialog
You'll see AutoWinNet ftp to oak.oakland.edu and retrieve a couple
of file lists. He is collecting the contents of oak.oakland.edu's
/SimTel/win3 directory (the cool Windows shareware!)
----------- AFTER AGENDA IS DONE -------------------------------------
Choose VIEW OR EDIT AGENDAS from the main menu
Double click FIRST AGENDA (or press EDIT)

You will see a list of all the files he just found in /SimTel/win3
To download any of these, just highlight them and press SELECT
----------- HOW DO I DOWNLOAD FILES? -------------------------------------
Select them, and then press SELECT. Those files will be downloaded
the next time you run that agenda!
