INSTALLATION
Execute INSTALL.EXE from within Windows. Install will create a sub-directory of your
choice, copy all distribution files and create a Program Manager Group for WinCover if
you desire. Requires VBRUN300.DLL, not included. May be obtained from Compuserve and
most major BBS's.
FIRST TIME USE
Complete help for first time use is available by using the Balloon Help feature
from the main Help menu or by pressing the F1 key anywhere from within the program.
**READ THIS!!!** WHEN UPGRADING (numbers in parenthesis are your old version number):
1> (3.0) Copy VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows System directory. VBRUN300.DLL
is available from Compuserve, AOL and most BBS's.
2> (3.0 & 3.1 & 3.2) When prompted, choose NOT to overwrite the following files during install:
FAXHIST.LOG, RECEIVER.DB, DEFAULT.SND
If you overwrite these files, your existing data will be lost!
********************************************************************************
* If you install to a different directory than your existing installation *
* change the LogoFile= entry in your WINCOVER.INI file to reflect the new *
* directory path. Failing to change this path information will cause an *
* error message! (WINCOVER.INI is in your windows directory) *
********************************************************************************
3> (3.0) RUN CONVERT.EXE to convert to the new Sender and Fax
file formats. See the Help menu of CONVERT.EXE for further instructions. YOU
MUST CONVERT YOUR OLD DATA TO USE THIS VERSION.
**IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 3.1 (not 3.1a through 3.1e)**
Starting with version 3.1a there was a change of data sequencing in all .FCS
(saved fax files). A bug in version 3.1 caused improper data sequencing in
.FCS files if carriage returns were added to the notes section. This has been
fixed in 3.1a or newer. Any .FCS files saved with version 3.1 will no longer be
fully readable with 3.1a or newer with comments, date and notes entries out of
sequence. The only way to recover these files is to manually re-sequence the
data, which is actually quite easy. IF YOU MUST RECOVER THESE DATA FILES, CONTACT
THE AUTHOR FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
