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.
----------- 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...
