===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
A. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
WISDOM OF THE AGES for Windows will work with any IBM or compatible PC
running Windows 3.1 or Win 95 with a VGA graphics card and hard disk
drive with about 6.6 megabytes of free disk space. (An extra 1.5
megabytes is temporarily needed for installation.)
B. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW FOR A BBS DOWNLOAD
Before you can use WISDOM OF THE AGES for Windows you have to run the
SETUP program from Window's Program Manager so it will work properly on
your computer. YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE UNZIPPED FILES TO A DIRECTORY ON
YOUR HARD DISK. WIS_PAK.EXE is a self extracting archive. The SETUP
program will expand it; put files in their correct places; and optionally
create a Windows Program Group.
C. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Although the program can be installed to any Target Directory on any Hard
Disk Drive, the instructions below assume that you are using the default
values of:
Hard Disk Drive: C:
Source Directory: \DOWNLOAD (Where the UnZipped Files are Located.)
Target Directory \WISDOM25
If you use different values modify the instructions accordingly.
We suggest that you Move WISWIN25.ZIP to a floppy disk and save it as
your backup copy before proceeding.
1. The installation process is started by running SETUP. Since SETUP is
a Windows application, you must start Windows (if you haven't
already done so), then
Windows 3.1 Users - select Files|Run from Program Manager's menu.
Windows 95 Users - select Start|Run.
In the provided text box type C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP and click <OK>.*
(* Where "DOWNLOAD" is the name of the directory containing the
UnZipped files from files from WISWIN25.ZIP.)
2. SETUP assumes you will install to C:\WISDOM25. You will be given the
opportunity to change this assumption. SETUP will also ask your
permission to create a WISDOM Program Group and populate it with group
files. Unless you'd prefer to do this yourself, we'd suggest you
answer "Yes." **
3. The entire SETUP procedure takes about four minutes. Much of that
time will be spent unpacking compressed files. When SETUP is done,
there will be about a six second delay when nothing seems to be
happening, and then WISDOM OF THE AGES will start to run.
4. After the program has run, you can delete all the WISWIN files NOT in
the target directory, such as WISWIN25.ZIP and WIS_PAK.EXE.
** Please wait three seconds before answering "Yes." This dialog
will briefly flash on the screen before the files have been
unpacked - Windows 95 users will hear a sound when this happens.
Some 386 owners, with quick reflexes, have managed to answer
"Yes" before the files have been unpacked. If you wait three
seconds, you're sure to answer "Yes" at the right time.
