WINWHEEL INSTALL.DOC
Installation Instructions
Since WINWHEEL is a Windows application, it is installed similar to
other Windows application. You may wish to review the procedure by
referring to your Windows 3.0 User's Guide, pp.87-96, or Windows 3.1
User's Guide.
With Windows 3.0,it is necessary for the user to copy the SOUND.DRV file as
explained below!
INSTALLATION
Install WINWHEEL by first making a directory on your hard drive called
WINWHEEL. For example, type:
MD C:\WINWHEEL
You may choose a different hard drive other than the C: drive if you wish.
Then copy the following files into this directory. You must have already
unzipped the distribution file into another directory onto your hard drive.
It is recommended that you copy the VBRUN100.DLL file as well as files with
VBX extensions into your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. This will save drive
space if you have several applications written with Visual Basic. You will
need to keep VBBRUN100.DLL even if some of your applications were written in
Visual Basic 2.0 and use the VBRUN200.DLL file.
There is a bug in the SOUND.DRV file that comes with Windows V.3.0.
The bug causes all sounds to be played slowly, ignoring any tempo commands in
programs. A replacement file is provided here which must be copied to your
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory in order for the sounds to work properly. This
file is provided by Micro Help Inc. If you have previously been using
the shareware version 1.20 of WINWHEEL, then you should already have received
the new SOUND.DRV file and copied it to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
If you have Windows 3.1, DO NOT copy the SOUND.DRV file!
INSTALLATION IN A WINDOWS GROUP
1. You must choose into which program group you wish to install WINWHEEL. You
may create a program group by selecting Files, New, Group in Program
Manager. You may have already created a GAMES group for all of your
games. Select this group by clicking on it with your mouse.
2. Now in the PROGRAM MANAGER, Select File, NEW, Program Item, OK. Type in
WINWHEEL for the Description; and for the Command Line, type in the path
and file name, including the drive, where the WINWHEEL files reside. Now
select OK. (i.e. C:\WINWHEEL\WINWHEEL.EXE).
You may also do the same for EDITWHEE.EXE to add it's icon to your GAMES group.
To run WINWHEEL, just double-click the mouse on the WINWHEEL icon, and
enjoy.
Note that WINWHEEL is Shareware and not freeware. If you continue to
use WINWHEEL then you are obligated to register it. Registration
information is contained in the menu within the game. If you have already
registered, then the author Thanks You for supporting the shareware concept of
software distribution.
*Note about VBRUN100.DLL. This is the run-time dynamic link library
required by programs written with Microsoft Visual Basic. If you have
other programs written in this language, you will save disk space by
moving this file into your Windows directory, since only one copy of
this file is required, and the Windows subdirectory is in the path
statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The files MHTI200.VBX, MHTI200.VBX,
THREED.VBX, and MUSCLE.VBX are other run-time module which may be used by
other Visual Basic programs, and may also be moved to your Windows
subdirectory. If you acquired WINWHEEL from an electronic Bulletin Board,
a Shareware disk vendor, or from Compuserve, and did not get the VBRUN100.DLL
file, then you must get it in order for WINWHEEL to run. On Compuserve,
GO MSBASIC and download the file VBRUN.ZIP from library 5. Or contact your
disk vendor for the file. Or you may request it from the author at the
registration address. Include $2.00 for shipping and handling.
